SAIA INC

Saia, Inc. (SAIA) operates as a national less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation company headquartered in Johns Creek, Georgia, with a website at www.saia.com. Founded in 1924, the company provides integrated transportation services primarily through its wholly-owned subsidiary Saia Motor Freight Line, LLC (Saia LTL Freight), which specializes in LTL shipments ranging from 100 to 10,000 pounds across the 48 contiguous states, with service to Canada and Mexico through interline carrier relationships.

The company generates approximately 97 percent of its revenue from LTL transportation services, with the remainder derived from value-added offerings including brokered truckload services, expedited transportation, and logistics solutions. As of December 31, 2025, Saia operated a network of 213 owned and leased terminals plus three general offices and one warehouse. The company maintained a fleet of approximately 7,700 tractors and 26,500 trailers, including equipment acquired through finance leases. In 2025, Saia generated revenue of $3.2 billion and employed nearly 14,500 union-free employees, comprising approximately 51 percent licensed commercial drivers, 24 percent dock workers, and 25 percent sales, technology, and administrative personnel.

The company's operational scale includes processing approximately 35,000 shipments daily, with average shipments weighing 1,380 pounds and traveling 897 miles. Over the past five years, Saia invested more than $2.5 billion in capital expenditures focused on real estate expansion, revenue equipment modernization, and technology infrastructure to support network optimization and operational efficiency.

Saia's competitive positioning derives from its extensive terminal network, service quality differentiation, geographic coverage, and operational flexibility. The company maintains registered trademarks including Saia Guaranteed Select, Saia Customer Service Indicators, and Saia Xtreme Guarantee. The business model emphasizes organic growth through geographic expansion, density optimization in existing markets, pricing management, and operational efficiency improvements. Saia competes within a highly consolidated LTL industry against national carriers and regional providers, as well as alternative transportation modes including truckload carriers, small package services, railroads, and third-party logistics providers.
