Saia rebrands LinkEx as Saia Logistics to unify freight, logistics services

Saia Inc. says its logistics arm, LinkEx, will begin operating as Saia Logistics this week as the company aligns its freight and logistics offerings under a single brand.

The change is intended to create a more streamlined experience for customers by bringing Saia’s less-than-truckload network and logistics services under one name. LinkEx has been part of the Saia organization for more than a decade, and the company said the rebrand reflects the close working relationship between the two operations.

“Unifying our logistics services fully under the Saia brand helps customers better understand the breadth of solutions we offer,” said executive vice-president and chief customer officer, Ray Ramu. “It also supports our long-term growth strategy while maintaining the high level of service our customers expect.”

The company’s partner network serves Alaska and Hawaii as well as Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico.

Saia said the transition is limited to branding and will not affect ownership, pricing, service levels, customer agreements or day-to-day operations. Customers will continue to work with the same contacts and use existing processes and capabilities.

“For our customers and our teams, this is really about clarity and connection,” said Saia Logistics vice-president and general manager, David Miller. “We’ve been working side by side with Saia for years. Operating as Saia Logistics better reflects how we serve customers without changing the service or relationships they’ve come to know and trust.”

Under the Saia Logistics name, the company will continue to offer services including truckload, expedited, warehousing, distribution and consolidation, final mile, international and integrated logistics, alongside Saia’s less-than-truckload network.
