Saia Announces Improved Transit Times

Saia, Inc. (NASDAQ: SAIA) has reduced transit times from the company's Nashville, Tenn. terminal to facilities located in:

  • Kansas City and Springfield Mo.;
  • Detroit and Jackson, Mich.; and
  • Cleveland, Toledo and Mansfield, Ohio.


  • Because of the reduced transit times customers will now receive a one-day delivery improvement on freight moving between these points. Transit times have also recently been reduced from 11 Saia terminals in the Midwest to over 30 other facilities in the company's 147-terminal network.

    Transit time reductions were made possible because of continued network optimization, which has allowed for more direct moves. These improvements build on reductions made earlier this year. Saia continues to provide customers with 97 percent plus on-time service in the company's one-day lanes and 98 percent on-time service in its intra-state lanes.
