Saia Opens Three New Terminals
Saia opens three new terminals in Fredericksburg, Virginia; New Haven, Connecticut and Youngstown, Ohio.
During the third quarter, we opened a new terminal in Fredericksburg, Virginia and just this month, we opened two additional terminals — one in New Haven, Connecticut and another in Youngstown, Ohio.
The terminal in Fredericksburg is the fourth facility for the company in the state of Virginia and is located approximately 50 miles south of Washington, D.C. It complements our previous terminal openings in the mid-Atlantic region.
The terminal near New Haven, Connecticut is Saia’s first terminal in the state. Part of the New York City metropolitan area and located on Long Island Sound, New Haven is positioned to supplement previous openings in the region as we work to fill in geography in the Northeast.
On Oct. 25, we celebrated the opening of our newest facility, a terminal near Youngstown, Ohio. Located in Gerard, the facility is the seventh location for the company in the state. Saia first entered the Ohio market 14 years ago and has continued to build its presence there. The Youngstown facility provides important service in the Ohio market and is integral to the development of our national network.
"We are very excited about this new terminal,” explained Saia’s Vice President of Operations, East Jared Mull. “For myself, it’s been a bit of a homecoming since I grew up in Northeastern Ohio. Likewise, our executive vice president of operations, Patrick Sugar, has relatives living in the area, including his grandparents, so we invited our families, and all of our new employees and their families to the facility, for a celebration. Saia is a family-oriented company so it was great getting to meet everyone on a personal level, which is very important to us as an organization.”
