The newly integrated territories are providing service that has already surpassed performance goals, said Saia President, Rick ODell. For more than 80 years Saia has focused on growth; the integration of these acquisitions further advances Saia toward our strategic goal of achieving complete coverage across North America ." The operations of Madison Freight Systema less-than-truckload carrier headquartered in Madison, WI were successfully integrated into Saias direct service on April 2, 2007. With these fully operational Saia-branded terminals serving the additional markets of Green Bay, Madison and Wausau, the acquisition allows Saia to now provide 100% direct coverage to the state of Wisconsin. The acquisition strategy focused on accelerating enhanced customer service, operating efficiencies and synergy revenue development between Saia and the new territories, culminating in an expanded organization that now serves 34 states with 151 terminals.
