    • Saia was founded in 1924 in response to the many requests Louis Saia Sr., of Houma, LA, received from his customers to haul their goods to New Orleans where he’d travel to pick up produce. The first company “truck” was the family car with the rear seats removed.
    • Over the next several decades, Saia continued to expand, establishing terminals throughout Louisiana and Texas. By the mid-1980s, Saia was one of the largest regional LTL carriers in the country, with 23 terminals across five Southeastern states, approximately 1000 employees and over $50 million in revenue.
    • In 1987, the Saia family sold the company to Preston Trucking. When Yellow Corporation purchased Preston in 1993, it also acquired Saia. Two years later, Saia merged with Smalley Transportation, another Yellow division, and opened terminals in North and South Carolina and western Texas.
    • In 2001, the Action Express and WestEx divisions were integrated under the Saia brand, increasing our direct coverage to 21 states and more than 100 terminals.
    • Saia and Jevic Transportation were spun off in 2002 to form an independent, publicly traded company, SCST.
    • In 2004, Clark Brothers Transport Inc. and its nine-state, 16-terminal network joined our network, providing our customers service to key Midwestern markets including Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City and Minneapolis.
    • SCST sold Jevic Transportation in 2006, folded all corporate functions into Saia, and the company began trading on the NASDAQ with the ticker symbol “SAIA.”
    • In 2007, Saia announced the acquisitions of The Connection Company, of Columbus, OH, and Madison Freight Systems Inc., based in Waunakee, WI.
    • In 2008, for the first time in our history, we had over a billion dollars in gross revenue.
    • Expanding its capabilities beyond LTL, Saia announced the purchase of The Robart Companies, a Georgia-based firm that provided non-asset based truckload service and third-party logistics, in 2012.
    • In 2015, Saia acquired LinkEx Inc., a diversified, asset-light, 3PL based in Dallas, Texas.
    • Today, Saia’s operates 213 terminals across the country and employs more than 15,000 people. Through our network of partners, we provide service to Alaska and Hawaii, plus Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico. Combined with Saia Logistics Services and LinkEx, we provide complete transportation and logistics solutions.
