Founded in 1924 in Houma, Louisiana, the company has grown from a regional carrier into a national operation with 194 terminals and over 14,000 employees. Saia provides direct service across all 48 contiguous states and reaches Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Canada through partner carriers.

Saia's primary service is LTL freight, with one-, two-, and three-day direct transit options depending on lane. The company also offers non-asset truckload, expedited LTL, guaranteed delivery, and logistics services including distribution, consolidation, and supply chain management. Saia serves a broad range of industries, with particular strength in retail, chemical, and manufacturing freight. Specialized handling options include liftgate delivery, residential delivery, and services for shipments requiring extra care.

Shippers typically rely on Saia for consistent, nationwide LTL service. The company is a strong choice for businesses that ship palletized freight regularly and need dependable transit times, broad geographic coverage, and the terminal density to support frequent pickups and deliveries across the country.
