On Feb. 6, Saia opened a new terminal in the city of Edwardsville, Kansas. With nearly 140 doors, it is the second facility for us in the Kansas City metropolitan area.

“We’ve seen tremendous growth in the Kansas City area so this new terminal will allow us to offer enhanced service to customers by positioning drivers and equipment so we can provide additional capacity and flexibility,” said Saia Vice President of Operations, West Kevin Szydel.

Kansas City is one of the largest freight hubs in the Midwest and is an important gateway for freight moving through the Saia network. The facility is another investment in Saia’s ongoing strategy to move closer to the customer and provide differentiated service in both new and existing markets. 

“While we’ve opened a number of facilities in new markets over the last few years, we continue to invest in locations like Kansas City where Saia is a leading brand,” stated Szydel.
