Saia LTL Freight Opens New Indianapolis Terminal
October 02 2019 - 5:03PM
Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) announced today the opening of its new
Saia LTL Freight terminal in Indianapolis, Indiana this coming
Friday, Oct. 4.
“We are thrilled about this new breakbulk
terminal as it truly is a flagship facility for us,” said Saia
President and Chief Operating Officer Fritz Holzgrefe.
“Indianapolis is a gateway for freight moving through the heart of
our network. Its completion is a game-changer and will allow us to
better serve our customers in this thriving market for years to
come.”
The standalone terminal is situated on 42 acres
and offers over 64,000 square feet of dock space featuring 147
doors, with the opportunity to expand up to 300. It also features a
nearly 15,000-square-foot, two-story office building; a
13,000-square-foot maintenance shop; and a high-speed fueling
station. The state-of-the-art facility includes significant
investments in energy efficient and sustainable construction along
with the latest technology.
“Saia’s previous Indianapolis facility had
exceeded capacity,” explained Holzgrefe. “At our new location, we
will have additional doors, which means better, faster shipping,
plus added yard space. With regard to our high volume appointment
customers, we’ll be able to continuously load and build more direct
trailers, thus reducing freight handling.”
This is the second Saia re-location in the last
two weeks. The company recently moved its Philadelphia-area
terminal to a new site with a larger facility consisting of a
warehouse and dock along with a three-story office building and
shop, all on 14 acres. Saia also recently opened three new
terminals in Buffalo and Albany, New York and Erie, Pennsylvania as
part of its expansion into the Northeast.
