Noted as its largest expansion in five years, less-than-truckload services provider Roadrunner has rolled out 135 new lanes to its network, including the U.S.'s neighbor to the north.
The Chicago-based trucking company announced on Wednesday that it will offer service to Portland, Oregon, as well as service to Toronto and Montreal, Canada, via Detroit.
Other lanes include Dallas and Houston to Denver; Nashville and Memphis to Denver; the Northeastern U.S. to and from Indianapolis, Nashville, Louisville and Cincinnati; major cities in Florida to Nashville and Memphis; and service to Alaska and Hawaii with newly enhanced quote automation and improved transit times.

Roadrunner was recognized as a CCJ Innovator in 2022 for overhauling its operations with new leadership, a new network and new technologies to improve transit times and its reputation as a carrier lacking quality service and driver satisfaction. This expansion of lanes is part of its comeback story.
“Roadrunner’s new lanes offer us enhanced connectivity throughout the US,” said Luis Guerrero, facility manager at Uttermost WCDC, one of Roadrunner’s customers in the new lanes. “We’re also glad to know we can count on the Roadrunner team to enter Canada’s vast market.”
