Hello Roadrunner Freight Independent Contractors,
Welcome to the latest edition of Trucker Tribune!
Two weeks ago, we celebrated Veteran’s Day, and I want to thank the men and women who served our country and recognize the sacrifice they that have made for our freedom. Roadrunner Freight was recently highlighted in USA Today with an article titled “Military Veterans Find New Purpose in the Trucking Industry.” We are very proud of the many veterans that partner with Roadrunner Freight, and if you haven’t had the opportunity to read the article, please click here.
Winter weather is coming early in many parts of our country, which can create challenges in our industry. Please ensure that you are taking the necessary time and precautions to stay safe while driving. Nothing is more important than getting home to your loved ones and friends safely.
Thank you for your hard work!
Sincerely,
Frank Hurst
President of Roadrunner Freight
