Saia opens new terminals in Washington and Indiana, expands national network
Saia added terminals in Washington and Indiana, pushing its network to 216 sites after more than $2 billion in investment from its Johns Creek headquarters.
Saia’s latest terminal openings landed far from Forsyth County, but the company behind them is based just down the road in Johns Creek, making the expansion a local business story as much as a national logistics one. The less-than-truckload carrier now operates 216 terminals nationwide, a scale that matters to north metro Atlanta because the decisions, hiring and capital spending start at 11465 Johns Creek Parkway, Suite 400.
The new facilities opened in Marysville, Washington, and Edinburgh, Indiana. Saia said the Marysville terminal opened May 4, while the Edinburgh site began operations the week of May 21. The company said both additions are part of continued network growth across the U.S. and are meant to expand capacity and improve regional connectivity in the Pacific Northwest and Midwest.
Saia has put more than $2 billion into its network in recent years, and the openings show how aggressively it has been turning that spending into physical freight capacity. In its 2025 annual report, the company said 2025 was its first full year operating with a national footprint, a milestone that suggests the Johns Creek carrier is now trying to compete as a coast-to-coast player rather than a Southeast-focused operator.
The company’s first-quarter 2026 results point to why that expansion is continuing. Saia reported record revenue of $806.2 million, up 2.4% from the same period a year earlier, and said shipments per workday increased 1%. Those numbers show a business still growing even as it folds newer terminals into a wider network.
For Forsyth County readers, the direct local impact is less about a new warehouse on the county line and more about what a larger Johns Creek headquarters can mean for the broader north metro economy. Saia’s SEC filing said it owned 135 service facilities and leased 82 more at the end of 2025, underscoring how much of the company’s operating base already sits in and around metro Atlanta. The takeaway for south Forsyth is straightforward: Saia’s expansion is happening nationally, but the strategic center of that growth remains close to home.
