We recently opened our new, larger cross-dock terminal in Memphis (MPS). The new facility is 60% larger than the previous terminal and will allow us to meet the needs of our shippers today and for the foreseeable future. It’s a significant investment in our network, and the local community, and is another flagship facility that we are all tremendously proud of.

The 200 door terminal continues Saia’s commitment to building facilities that utilize the latest in energy efficient and low maintenance design. The location also includes an eight bay maintenance shop and a high speed fueling station with the latest in environmentally safe and responsible construction. Saia will still employ nearly 300 team members at the new terminal, which has the space to accommodate a significant expansion over time as we continue to see long-term growth both in Memphis and nationally.

For the last several years, we’ve aggressively expanded our operations in the Northeast. However, we’ve also remained just as committed to investing in our legacy markets and facilities. Our former Memphis terminal had exceeded its capacity. As such, the additional doors at the new facility will mean less freight handling and more efficient shipping for our customers.

This is the fourth Saia re-location in the last few months. Saia recently moved its operations to new, larger facilities in Sherman and Wichita Falls, Texas and Green Bay, Wisconsin. Earlier this year, Saia moved its Las Vegas, Nevada terminal.
