Saia, Inc. announced that Saia LTL Freights newest terminal, in Calhoun, Georgia, is open for business as the company seeks to not only add capacity to its existing network of facilities, but move closer to its customers located just northwest of the Atlanta metro area. For the last several years, Saia has been quickly expanding its footprint in the Northeast, but also opening new facilities in its legacy coverage area. As the companys network expands, an added benefit comes from being able to pinpoint new pockets of labor, like Calhoun, that offer the opportunity to recruit and hire much-needed drivers and dockworkers. Saia is still seeking employees for its new Calhoun terminal, including drivers and dockworkers as well as office and management personnel.
