About Roadrunner shipping

Roadrunner was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1984 as Roadrunner Freight Systems. The company grew steadily for 20 years, merged with Dawes Transport in 2005, and went public in 2010 as Roadrunner Transportation Systems (RRTS).

After a major restructuring, today’s Roadrunner is a focused less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier headquartered in Downers Grove, Illinois. It specializes in direct, long-haul, metro-to-metro freight: team drivers move shipments over the road between major cities, with no rail legs and fewer handoffs along the way.

That model makes Roadrunner a strong option for palletized freight moving long distances between major metro markets, whether it’s a single pallet or a multi-pallet shipment. For shorter regional moves, your quote will show which carrier fits that lane best.
