Saia Quietly Opens 14 New Doors in Pacific NW — Post-Yellow Network Approaches the Pre-2023 Footprint.

The 14-door expansion across SEA/TAC/PDX brings Saia's national door count to 379 — within 4% of where the combined Saia/Yellow network sat in June 2023. The post-Yellow LTL consolidation is now substantially complete, and the next round of network competition will be quality-based, not coverage-based.
