Less-than-truckload (LTL) pricing power and share gains from the demise of Yellow last year could position carriers for earnings growth and margin expansion in 2024. In this Talking Transports podcast, Saia President and CEO Fritz Holzgrefe joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence senior transportation & logistics analyst, to discuss the outlook for the LTL markets and the company’s expansion prospects. Improved service and increased reach has helped Saia offset inflationary pressures, with an 8.7% increase in contract renewals in 4Q. It plans to open 15-20 new terminals to better serve customers and provide a springboard for organic growth. Holzgrefe also talks about how the company is investing in facilities, tractors, trailers and technology to position for expansion.
