Neighbors Upset With Burr Ridge Truck Hub BURR RIDGE, IL – Neighbors of a trucking hub in Burr Ridge are upset with the noise and lights put up in December. They brought up their concerns at Monday's Village Board meeting. The neighbors are in the Chestnut Hills townhome subdivision. They are north of the Saia LTL Freight hub, which is along Interstate 55. The residents said the lights violated a years-old agreement when the village annexed the industrial property. They also said the problem likely happened because personnel had changed at the local site. Chestnut Hills resident John Summers spoke of the "rather idyllic view" of the wetlands between Saia and the subdivision. "Then the lights of Wrigley Field appeared and have changed the view in the evenings," he said. He urged the village to speak with Georgia-based Saia. "Give them a little religion," he said. "Remind them that there was an agreement in place." Resident Donna Ryan, who heads the subdivision's association, said the hub's noise has increased a lot. She suggested a sound barrier. "Right now, we have a fence that's wood, and it really doesn't reduce the sound at all," Ryan said. "It really is for screening." Village Administrator Evan Walter said Saia has been responsive to the village about the lights. "The lights are going to get fixed in the next few weeks. I just can't give you an exact date," he said. "They're aware it's impactful. I've seen it with my own eyes." He said the village would work more with neighbors on the light issue. https://www.patch.com - 1 month ago
Saia: Positioned For Growth Amid Deregulation And Industry Tailwinds Deregulation under the new administration is expected to reduce costs for trucking companies like Saia, enhancing profitability and operational flexibility. Saia could benefit from lower vehicle acquisition costs and reduced compliance burdens due to the potential rollback of emissions regulations. Increased tariffs on imports may drive higher domestic freight volumes, further boosting Saia's demand and market share. seekingalpha.com - 1 month ago
The Next Big Opportunity: My Favorite Dividend Stocks For The Shift Ahead I believe we're at a turning point for cyclical stocks, with improving indicators and global growth signaling potential outperformance in industrials, energy, and transportation. I'm positioning my portfolio for this shift, adding to railroads, machinery, and energy stocks. I'm confident these sectors will see strong returns and accelerating dividend growth. Of course, risks remain - geopolitical tensions, inflation, or economic slowdowns could derail this trend. But for now, the risk/reward looks favorable. seekingalpha.com - 2 months ago
Saia's Expansion Is Impressive--But Here's Why I'm Not Buying Yet Saia, Inc. specializes in less-than-truckload shipping and has seen a 400% stock increase over five years, but recently slowed down. Record-breaking revenue of $789 million in Q4 2024, driven by network expansion and acquisition of Yellow's terminals, but at high operational expenses. Rising labor, insurance, and operational costs challenge profitability, despite Saia's pricing power and strategic focus on heavier shipments. seekingalpha.com - 2 months ago
