Saia opens new, 60% larger cross-dock facility in Memphis

Saia announced the opening of its new, larger Saia LTL Freight cross-dock facility in Memphis, Tennessee. The 200 door terminal continues includes an eight bay maintenance facility and a high speed fueling station. Saia will still employ nearly 300 team members at the new terminal, which has the space to accommodate an expansion over time as the company continues to see long-term growth both in Memphis and nationally. This is the third Saia re-location in the last couple of months. Saia recently moved its operations to new, larger facilities in Sherman and Wichita Falls, Texas. Earlier this year, Saia moved its Las Vegas, Nevada terminal and this November, it will be moving its Green Bay, Wisconsin operations to a new facility as well. "The new terminal is 60 percent larger than our previous facility and will allow us to meet the needs of our shippers today and for the foreseeable future," said executive VP of operations Paul Peck. "It's a significant investment in our network, and the community, and is another flagship facility that we are tremendously proud of."
