Concord deal with U.S. LTL firm provides better grip on American market
TORONTO, (Dec. 8, 2004) — In an attempt to make bigger footprints in the U.S. LTL market, Concord Transportation of Toronto has signed a strategic partnership with Duluth, Ga.-based Saia Inc.
Concord, which was recently sold by Clarke Inc. to Andlauer Transportation Services, provides LTL and TL services through a network of both Canadian and U.S. terminals, warehouses and facilities.
Saia — a subsidiary of Kansas City-based SCS Transportation — is a regional LTL carrier with full coverage in 30 U.S. states, as well as areas in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Concord says Saia’s fast transit timetables and extensive coverage will allow Concord to expedite shipments and leverage each partner’s geographical advantages.
