Saia Inc. Completes Acquisition Of The Connection Co. and Madison Freight Systems

[Staff]

Saia Inc. said it has completed its full integration of recently acquired Midwest carrier The Connection Co. and Wisconsin carrier Madison Freight Systems.

The integration of the acquisitions further advances Saia toward its strategic goal of achieving complete coverage across North America, said Saia President Rick O'Dell.

The 19 terminals added by the acquisition of The Connection--a less-than-truckload carrier operating in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio since 1983--are now officially operating as Saia in the major Midwest markets of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Louisville and Toledo. Saia purchased The Connection in November 2006.
