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. Three implications for shippers.
Saia confirmed Tuesday evening that 14 new doors across the Pacific Northwest came live as of May 12, completing the most aggressive single-quarter network expansion the LTL sector has seen since 2022. The geography: 6 doors added at SEA (Kent terminal expansion), 4 at TAC (Fife relocation + doors), and 4 at PDX (Tualatin facility, formerly a regional 3PL warehouse Saia acquired in March).
The numerical context is what matters. Saia's national active door count now sits at 379, up from 322 at YE 2023 — a 17.7% expansion in 17 months. Add Estes' 412 doors, XPO's 304, Old Dominion's 263, FedEx Freight's 367, ABF's 233, and the post-Yellow national LTL network — measured by active doors — is now within 4% of where the combined Saia/Yellow + Estes + XPO + ODFL + FedEx Freight + ABF footprint sat in June 2023, immediately before Yellow's bankruptcy filing.
