Roadrunner expands cross-border LTL service across Canada
Roadrunner is expanding its LTL service to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and the surrounding areas of Canada. The move follows the launch of less-than-truckload shipping into Toronto and Montreal earlier this year. All origin locations that ship freight to Seattle, Washington, will have access to the new LTL service into Western Canada.
"We are launching a new service to Western Canada on the heels of ultra-successful openings of Toronto and Montreal earlier this year. Our customers have repeatedly asked us to complement our Eastern and Central Canada offering to include the West," said Tomasz Jamroz, COO at Roadrunner. "We are playing into our strengths in these markets, and we are able to provide the service, quality, and on-time LTL experience our customers now expect from Roadrunner."

Roadrunner said it expanded its network further into Canada following several enhancements, including Guaranteed Service in select lanes, which offers shippers on-time delivery by the promised date or a full refund of charges; the opening of a new Atlanta service center; and one-day service between its Southern California and Chicago locations.
"Our smart network keeps expanding with service to Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver," said Ryan Schelb, VP of network strategy and expansion at Roadrunner. "We use data and analytics to analyze which markets we are opening next to provide the best long-haul LTL service. The service to Western Canada will benefit immensely from having Seattle as our launching point since our metro-to-metro network is so unique in the LTL world."
