Roadrunner Expands LTL Network 
Roadrunner Transportation Systems announced it has improved its less-than-truckload freight network, including adding more capacity to its facilities and adding an optional premium service. According to management, the new enhancements will help improve the consistency of its service. Grant Crawford, president of Roadrunner LTL, has led these operational changes at the LTL division of Roadrunner. 
In Dallas and Houston, Texas, Roadrunner moved into new larger terminals that expanded the company’s capacity. In Memphis, Tennessee, Roadrunner opened a new terminal to add more capacity while also providing direct service to customers in that market. The Memphis terminal is an 11-year lease for a facility at 3845 Crowfarn Drive. The 64-door, 105,000-square-foot terminal is about six miles from Memphis International Airport. Roadrunner had been using a local LTL company called Southern Xpress to service Memphis. Southern Xpress will now serve as an independent contractor for Roadrunner. 
Roadrunner management also noted that the company is also offering an optional premium service with guaranteed delivery on a scheduled day in select major metro markets.
