JOHNS CREEK, Ga., June 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Saia Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA), a leading provider of less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services, announced the opening of two new terminals this month in Duluth, Minnesota, and Columbia, Missouri, as part of the company’s continued investment in expanding and strengthening its nationwide network.

The Duluth terminal opened earlier this month, while the Columbia facility officially began operations this week.

The new terminals give customers expanded access to Saia’s network across key Midwest markets, with stronger regional coverage, and added capacity to support growing shipping needs.

“These additions reflect our ongoing commitment to strategically growing our footprint where customers need reliable service and capacity most,” said Saia Executive Vice President of Operations Patrick Sugar. “By continuing to invest in our infrastructure, we’re able to create stronger connections across our network and support more efficient freight movement for our customers.”

The Duluth facility enhances Saia’s ability to serve northern Minnesota and surrounding markets, while the Columbia terminal strengthens connectivity throughout central Missouri and nearby Midwest freight corridors.

The openings also continue to build on the momentum of Saia’s “It’s a Yes” brand campaign launched earlier this year, reinforcing the company’s focus on responsive service, operational flexibility and customer-focused solutions.

“As Saia continues to expand, our priority remains delivering the consistent, dependable experience customers expect from our network,” added Sugar. “Each investment helps position us to better support customers today and into the future.”
