Roadrunner Grows Metro-to-Metro LTL Service Network - Adds Five New Direct Lanes and Improves Transit Times in 66 Lanes

New Direct Service for Phoenix to Chicago, Detroit to Dallas, Indianapolis to Atlanta,
St. Louis to Dallas, and Cincinnati to Atlanta

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., June 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Roadrunner, transportation's greatest comeback story, a service-first less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier specializing in long-haul nationwide metro-to-metro shipping, announces five additional direct lanes to its service network and improved transit times by at least one day in 66 of its major lanes. This follows other network improvements made earlier this year.

Roadrunner's continuous investments in technology, training and service center improvements are resulting in faster delivery times and more direct lanes for its customers. As the company reengineered its lanes, it increased its volume capacities, added more direct routing and all but eliminated rail usage. Among others, lanes heading Eastbound from Phoenix, Westbound from St. Louis and Detroit and Southbound from Cincinnati and Indianapolis are all seeing notable improvements in transit times.

"This improvement arrives just in time for summer to benefit our many customers," said Roadrunner President Frank Hurst. "We are proud to announce these changes. Service is our #1 priority. We've spent the last two years overhauling our network to make sure we only operate in lanes where we can provide service and quality. As a result, we've seen our on-time service percentage increase dramatically across the network. This is the second time this year we've sped up our network and reduced transit times, and we're not stopping here."

"Moving transit times up in these 66 lanes is just the beginning. Our analytics team proved that we run faster than our stated transit times in more than 650 lanes, almost 20% of our 3,700 lanes," said Philip Thalheim, Director of Linehaul Analytics at Roadrunner. "Following previous operational improvements, which included the installation of dimensionalizers in all our facilities, dock automation, network restructuring and static load plan implementation, our data confirmed that our freight delivers early in these lanes due to earlier pickups and improved daily capacity."

"The team at Roadrunner has improved its training, its people and its service," said Chris Jamroz, Roadrunner Executive Chairman of the Board. "We've made significant investments in our technology to provide 100% end-to-end network visibility, improve site-level performance and optimize data, allowing us to provide better service at a better value. In addition to returning to our roots as an LTL carrier and offering quality service at a competitive value, Roadrunner has created a driver-centric culture that focuses on the financial success and personal well-being of our drivers."

About Roadrunner
Emerging as a service-first less-than-truckload (LTL) provider, Roadrunner transformed its operations through new leadership, a new network, and new technologies to provide its customers with exceptional LTL service. Specializing in long-haul, metro-to-metro shipping, Roadrunner has more direct routes between its 32 service centers than its traditional hub and spoke peers, allowing for better service and great value.

"This is well deserved recognition for Dave and the team. We've worked hard to create an environment that empowers drivers to succeed," said Roadrunner President Frank Hurst. "Our drivers are everything to us and we are proud of how much progress we have made as partners."

Last year Roadrunner overhauled its driver relationship program to re-emphasize the driver experience, hiring Dave Renfrew in the process. Renfrew's award-winning work has included a focus on recruiting veterans and female drivers, and has resulted in Roadrunner becoming a destination of choice for owner-operators and team drivers.

Roadrunner's unique LTL network enables owner-operator truck drivers to earn industry leading pay nationwide because of the flexibility provided by Roadrunner's model.

"Our mission is empowering entrepreneurs," said Roadrunner Executive Chairman Chris Jamroz. "Our owner-operator partners are true business owners. They are building the American Dream, one mile at a time, and we cherish being their partner in that journey. Thank you to Transport Topics for this recognition. We are going to continue to work tirelessly to find the best drivers who can thrive on our platform."

Roadrunner Freight Raises $50 Million in New Equity for Technology Investments and Continued Transformation (3/25/21)

- Investment Round Led by Andrew Leto, Founder of GlobalTranz and Emerge

- Andrew Leto and Kevin Shuba Join Roadrunner Board of Directors

- Dave Ross Joins Roadrunner, Named Partner and Executive Vice President

- Roadrunner Achieves Record Service Levels, Plans Launch of Guaranteed Service

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Roadrunner Freight ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (Pink: RRTS) today announced the recent closing of a $50 million equity private placement. The round was led by Andrew Leto, founder of GlobalTranz and Emerge, who invested $10 million and is joining Roadrunner's Board. Other round participants included affiliates of Elliott Investment Management, Fox Hill Capital, Memento S.A., Solas Capital, existing management and several individuals from the transportation and logistics sector, including Kevin Shuba, who has also joined Roadrunner's Board.

"Roadrunner is really a technology moving trucks, not a trucking company. Every shipper needs a consolidator like Roadrunner, and most are not taking advantage of what Roadrunner has to offer. We are changing that. This team has done a great job cleaning up a mess and getting Roadrunner back to its roots in LTL," said Andrew Leto. "I look forward to helping drive this transformation, especially through our technology development."

Roadrunner anticipates using the net proceeds for investment in the development of technology underpinning operations, specifically around planning, pricing and efficiency, and to recruit and retain top talent. It also intends to continue to invest in service improvements.

"We are thrilled to welcome partners to this business who share our vision of an unwavering focus on service and quality for our customers and an improved experience for our drivers," said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of Roadrunner.

The private placement was structured in the form of shares that have a liquidation preference equal to the subscription price (net of any distributions). The subscription price reflected an approximately 15% discount to the trading price at the time the deal was negotiated in early 2021.

Andrew Leto and Kevin Shuba Join Roadrunner Board of Directors

Andrew Leto, CEO of Emerge, and Kevin Shuba, recently departed CEO of OmniTRAX, have joined Roadrunner's Board of Directors as Independent Directors. Donald Brown, Scott Dobak and Paul Svindland remain as Independent Directors on Roadrunner's Board.

Jamroz commented, "Andrew and Kevin join us as meaningful owners in our business with the energy and knowledge to help drive significant value creation as we continue our transformation."

Andrew Leto is founder and CEO of Emerge, a cloud-based shipping platform and marketplace helping logistics professionals to more efficiently procure and manage their overflow truckload capacity. Founded by Leto in 2017, Emerge is on track to generate $250 million in sales this year, making it one of the fastest growing supply chain technology companies. Leto has been in the logistics industry since 2003 when he founded GlobalTranz, a top five customer for Roadrunner, after serving five honorable years in the U.S. Navy. GlobalTranz quickly became one of the top-10 Truckload and LTL brokers in the U.S. with over $1 billion dollars in sales. Leto also founded 10-4 Systems, a truckload and visibility platform which was acquired by Trimble in 2016.

Kevin Shuba served as the CEO of OmniTRAX, Inc., one of North America's largest private railroad holding companies, for over seven years. He remains a senior advisor to the OmniTRAX parent company, The Broe Group. As CEO he led the daily operations of 22 Short Line Railroads, Port and Terminal Operations, and OmniTRAX Logistics Services. Prior to joining OmniTRAX and The Broe Group, Shuba had a sixteen-year career with Brambles Limited, the $6 billion dollar logistics services company, where he oversaw Chep's U.S. and Americas operations. Prior to joining Brambles, Shuba held several senior sales and management positions with Baxter Healthcare Corporation. Additionally, he served in the United States Army for six years obtaining the rank of Captain.

Frank Hurst, Partner and President of Roadrunner, added, "Andrew and Kevin are already proving to be invaluable partners in bolstering our capabilities. It is no surprise they have both created such successful organizations."

Dave Ross Named Partner and Executive Vice President for Roadrunner

Dave Ross, former Managing Director and Group Head of Stifel's Global Transportation and Logistics Equity Research practice, has been named Partner and Executive Vice President for Roadrunner. In this role, Ross will focus on operations and pricing, while working with the Board to set strategic vision for the company as a whole. He brings over 20 years of extensive experience, study and knowledge of the LTL industry.

"Dave will play a critical role in architecting the emergence of the new Roadrunner," Jamroz stated.

During Ross' tenure at Stifel, his awards included ranking #1 in stock picking multiple times in the Wall Street Journal's Best on the Street Analysts Survey and in Financial Times/StarMine America's Top Analysts report. He is the former author of the monthly Cass Transportation Index Report, speaks regularly at industry conferences, and has advised supply chain leaders and executives of both public and private carriers, shippers, and 3PLs on operations and strategy.

Roadrunner Provides Update on Service, Launch of Guaranteed Service

January and February operated with record level on-time delivery rates and the lowest exceptions in company history. Due to the continued service improvements, Roadrunner will be launching a guaranteed service offering in select lanes by the end of spring 2021.

G2 Capital Advisors Served As The Exclusive Sell-Side Advisor To Roadrunner Transportation In Its Divestiture Of Its Temperature-Controlled Truckload Division To Laurel Oak Capital Partners
PR Newswire

BOSTON, Aug. 26, 2020

BOSTON, Aug. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --

G2 CAPITAL ADVISORS SERVED AS THE EXCLUSIVE SELL-SIDE ADVISOR TO ROADRUNNER TRANSPORTATION IN ITS DIVESTITURE OF ITS TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED TRUCKLOAD DIVISION TO LAUREL OAK CAPITAL PARTNERS.

CLIENT:
Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (Pink: RRTS) ("Roadrunner") has transitioned from being a multi-modal transportation and logistics service provider to being a transportation service provider focused exclusivity on less-than-truckload services. The temperature controlled truckload division, RRTC Holding, Inc., d.b.a A&A Express, LLC ("RRTC Holdings" or the "Company") is a leading provider of temperature-controlled transportation services of food and beverage products for retail and food service customers. The Company is headquartered in South Dakota and services a majority of the lower 48 states with greatest lane density across the Midwest and West regions.

SITUATION:
RRTC Holdings was developed through a rollup of four distinct acquisitions across the Midwest region. The four legal entities were consolidated into one operating company which operated as A&A Express, LLC. Roadrunner was seeking to sell RRTC Holdings as part of a multi-pronged reorganization strategy for Roadrunner to become a national carrier focused solely on providing less-than-truckload transportation services.

ENGAGEMENT:
G2 Capital Advisors, LLC ("G2") was engaged by Roadrunner as the exclusive sell-side advisor to lead a highly targeted and efficient sale process to carve out Roadrunner's temperature-controlled truckload segment.

OUTCOME
The transaction was successfully executed on July 30, 2020 through a sale of RRTC Holding to an affiliate of Laurel Oak Capital Partners ("Laurel Oak"). The acquisition was Laurel Oak's platform investment in the cold chain logistics services and represents a unique opportunity to build upon a strong brand and experienced management team.

The President of A&A Express Tim Anderson said, "My experience in working with G2 throughout the sale process was second to none. They were extremely diligent, hard working and focused on achieving the best outcome for all parties involved. The A&A team is excited to work with our new partners at Laurel Oak who clearly share a common vision for continued growth and exceptional customer service execution for our valued customers."

The Company is well positioned to benefit from the strong tailwinds that have accompanied the temperature controlled transportation segment and, given the solid economic resiliency it has demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 crisis, RRTC Holding will likely continue to play an integral role within the larger cold supply chain industry.

"The market conditions driven by COVID-19 provided unforeseen challenges that required us to find creative ways to drive the due diligence process forward. It was an honor and privilege to work with Roadrunner and A&A's management on the highly strategic divestiture", said Chris Hughes, G2's Managing Director and Transportation & Logistics Practice Leader. "Rena Clark and Emanuel Slater at Laurel Oak were a pleasure to work with and we look forward to tracking their success investing in the cold chain logistics segment."

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (Pink: RRTS) today announced the recent closings of three transactions completing Roadrunner's divestiture of all truckload segment businesses. This includes the sale of Rich Logistics and Integrated Services, Inc. ("ISI") to an undisclosed strategic buyer, as well as the sale of Roadrunner Temperature Controlled ("RRTC Holdings, Inc.") to Laurel Oak Capital Partners.

"With the actions announced today, we have completed our evolution from a troubled roll-up to a focused, national LTL carrier. We are eternally grateful to our team for the long hours and hard work through the prolonged period of transition," said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of Roadrunner.

These divestitures complete a reorganization that involved the sale of Roadrunner Intermodal Services (November 2019), Flatbed (December 2019), Prime Distribution (March 2020) and Stagecoach (April 2020). With the previously announced completion of the spin-off of Ascent Global Logistics, Inc. ("Ascent"), Roadrunner now consists solely of its less-than-truckload operations.

Paul Svindland Joins Board of Directors

Contemporaneous with the Ascent spin-off, Paul Svindland, CEO of STG Logistics, has joined Roadrunner's Board of Directors. Paul most recently served as CEO of Celadon Group, one of North America's largest asset-based truckload carriers. Prior to Celadon, Paul was Chairman and CEO of Farren International, a leading, private equity backed ?atbed trucking company.

Donald C. Brown and Scott L. Dobak remain as independent directors on Roadrunner's Board and Christopher L. Doerr has moved over to the Ascent Global Logistics Board.

"With deep experience in the logistics and transportation sector, Paul will no doubt lend invaluable advice and perspective to our Board and executive leadership team as we enter Roadrunner's next chapter," said Jamroz.

New Credit Facility

Simultaneously with the completion of the Ascent spin-off, Roadrunner's existing senior secured credit facility with BMO Bank Harris, N.A. has been terminated, and the company has entered into a new $45.0 million senior secured asset-based credit facility with Crystal Financial. Roadrunner's divestitures and the spin-off of Ascent have reduced the company's balance sheet liabilities by approximately $400 million, leaving the company with a net cash position.

"We enter this new stage of Roadrunner with the healthiest balance sheet in the company's history," said Frank Hurst, President of Roadrunner Transportation Systems.

Roadrunner Freight Update

Additionally, Frank Hurst and the Roadrunner management team have provided an update on business performance and strategy to date.

"In Q4 2019, we made a deliberate shift in our LTL strategy to focus on customers and drivers, instead of short-term profitability. This change in approach led every team member to commit to a new mantra, Ship It Like You Own It," said Hurst. "It also required operational investments in Q4 2019 and Q1 2020, generating average losses of approximately $4 million per month. However, we dramatically improved transit times and launched a quality campaign that resulted in drastic reductions of delivery exceptions. With clearly improved service levels, our sales have continued to grow and enabled our team to onboard business with several new national accounts. Despite highly depressed volumes in March and April from COVID-19, we were able to return to growth in May and posted our first positive EBITDA month in three years, albeit a very modest level."

Year-to-date, the company has increased the Independent Contractor count by more than 100 drivers and has achieved the lowest 12-month turnover in recent history. The company has also launched a new analytical tool of driver performance metrics called RoadPRO to promote safety, service and operational results within the fleet.

"We plan to continue prioritizing service levels over profitability for the foreseeable future and will take advantage of our strong balance sheet to continuously redeploy profits generated into new technology, continuous lane enhancement and an improved driver and team member experience," Hurst adds. "Our Ship It Like You Own It mantra embodies how we treat customers' freight, and it is gratifying to see that our customers are noticing."

As previously announced, Roadrunner Freight recently opened new facilities in Riverside, CA on July 22 and in Philadelphia on August 3 that offer significant enhancements to the company's nationwide LTL network. A new Chicago service center, with double the capacity of the current Chicago facility, will also open later this month.

"We have seen COVID-driven disruptions in pockets of our network in June and July, despite our focus on quality service. This is partially due to large growth in e-commerce volume, which created facility and staffing constraints in a few markets. Our new facilities are already making a positive impact and any service issues experienced will be rectified in the near future. I appreciate our customers' patience as we make the necessary changes to support these increased volumes of freight," said Hurst.

"We are thrilled to be a standalone business and are grateful to our customers, business partners and team members who have stuck with us through our transformation," continued Hurst. "I am proud to say we have never been as strongly positioned for the future as we are today."

The company has also launched a new analytical tool of driver performance metrics called RoadPRO to promote safety, service and operational results within the fleet.

"We plan to continue prioritizing service levels over profitability for the foreseeable future and will take advantage of our strong balance sheet to continuously redeploy profits generated into new technology, continuous lane enhancement and an improved driver and team member experience," Hurst adds. "Our Ship It Like You Own It mantra embodies how we treat customers' freight, and it is gratifying to see that our customers are noticing."

As previously announced, Roadrunner Freight recently opened new facilities in Riverside, CA on July 22 and in Philadelphia on August 3 that offer significant enhancements to the company's nationwide LTL network. A new Chicago service center, with double the capacity of the current Chicago facility, will also open later this month.

"We have seen COVID-driven disruptions in pockets of our network in June and July, despite our focus on quality service. This is partially due to large growth in e-commerce volume, which created facility and staffing constraints in a few markets. Our new facilities are already making a positive impact and any service issues experienced will be rectified in the near future. I appreciate our customers' patience as we make the necessary changes to support these increased volumes of freight," said Hurst.

"We are thrilled to be a standalone business and are grateful to our customers, business partners and team members who have stuck with us through our transformation," continued Hurst. "I am proud to say we have never been as strongly positioned for the future as we are today."

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 27, 2020

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (Pink: RRTS) today announced that the company intends to effectuate a spin-off of Ascent Global Logistics as a stock dividend to its stockholders. The proposed spin-off remains subject to final approval by Roadrunner's Board of Directors, and certain tax and legal considerations. The proposed spin-off, which is expected to be completed in August 2020, would create two independent companies: Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (doing business as Roadrunner Freight and encompassing the less-than-truckload and truckload businesses) and privately-held Ascent Global Logistics, Inc. (encompassing Ascent Domestic, Ascent International and Ascent On-Demand).

(PRNewsfoto/Roadrunner Transportation Syste)

"With the actions announced today, we are left with two companies positioned to deliver significant value for their customers and investors," said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of Roadrunner Transportation Systems.

Strategic Rationale
Roadrunner's Board of Directors identified a spin-off of Ascent as a significant opportunity to create shareholder value. Benefits include (1) structuring each business to take advantage of unique growth opportunities in its respective end market; (2) tailoring the business model to its specific long-term strategies; and (3) aligning external financial resources, such as access to capital markets, and insurance factors, with the unique nature of each business. Additionally, it is expected that corporate spend will be reduced between the two entities by collapsing the Roadrunner Transportation Systems corporate function into the operations of Roadrunner Freight and Ascent Global Logistics.

Ascent Global Logistics
Ascent will be headquartered in Belleville, Michigan and will continue as a market leader in domestic freight management, international freight forwarding and expedited transportation services on the ground and in the air. Ascent has also executed a term sheet that contemplates a new senior secured revolving credit facility.

Upon successful completion of the spin-off, Tom Stenglein will become President of Ascent Global Logistics, Inc. Mr. Stenglein is currently the President of Ascent On-Demand and Chief Financial Officer of Ascent.

Roadrunner Financing
Contemporaneously with the completion of the spin-off, Roadrunner's existing senior secured credit facility with BMO Bank Harris, N.A. will be terminated. Although the capital and banking structure of Roadrunner (post-spin-off) has not yet been finalized and specific terms remain to be determined, it is expected that Roadrunner will be capitalized following the spin-off with zero debt and sufficient liquidity and flexibility to pursue future growth opportunities.

Upon successful completion of the spin-off, Frank Hurst will become President of Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. Mr. Hurst has served as President of Roadrunner Freight since 2017.

Transaction Details and Next Steps
The transaction is currently expected to be completed in August 2020, subject to final approval by Roadrunner's Board of Directors, and certain tax and legal considerations.

In connection with the transaction, Roadrunner will provide to its stockholders and make available on its website an Information Statement that will contain additional information about Ascent and the transaction. Additionally, the equity of Ascent is not expected to be publicly traded.

Lincoln International is serving as financial advisor to Roadrunner and Greenberg Traurig, LLP is serving as legal counsel.

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, Roadrunner's transfer agent, will act as the distribution agent for the spin-off.

Roadrunner Transportation Systems is a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics provider offering a full suite of services and solutions under the Roadrunner Freight®, Ascent On-Demand® and Ascent Global Logistics® brands. The Roadrunner brand offers less-than-truckload and over-the-road truckload and services. Ascent On-Demand offers premium mission critical air and ground logistics solutions.

RRTS delisted from the Nasdaq to the OTC:

https://otce.finra.org/otce/dailyList?viewType=Additions

I hauled contract frieght for them out of Milwaukee, chicago. they mostly are contract owner operators that LTL freight. Cool guys. I own no stock here. 18 years of OTR Driving. I have picked up and delivered to 1,000s of different locations annually. irregular shipper.

TAkes about 30-days. This is an American staple on the exchange sad to see it go!

They will have to restructure some of their convertibles first I assume and/or debt that is tied to the stock.

Sounds like you will get the value of your shares back though at the time of delisting.

Otherwise this would be $.00xxxx lol

Its no wonder given the fact that past CEO/president of RRTS just spanked today by the SEC. Benjamin Kirkland with cease and desist and payment orders.
The company financials were diddled with.

Roadrunner Transportation Systems Inc. said it is no longer going to list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange and it will also deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Roadrunner on Thursday said it decided to delist from the exchange voluntarily because it has fewer than 300 shareholders of record. It also said it was in the investors' best interest for Roadrunner to lower expenses related to listing and SEC reporting mandates.

A board committee of independent directors looked at both of these possibilities and decided to delist and deregister, Roadrunner said.

Both deregistering and delisting will "save significant costs," Chief Executive Curt Stoelting said in prepared remarks.

The freight transportation company was founded in 1984 and listed on the NYSE in 2010, according to the company's website.

Roadrunner Announces Plans to Downsize its Dry Van Business (9/30/19)

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. (“Roadrunner” or the “company”) (NYSE: RRTS), a leading asset-right transportation and asset-light logistics service provider, today announced it will downsize its unprofitable dry van business, which is part of the company’s Truckload segment.

The downsizing includes reducing dry van company tractor and trailer fleets by over 50%, closing five terminal locations and eliminating approximately 450 positions. Employees subject to the workforce reduction will receive either severance or a 60-day notice. In conjunction with the downsizing activities, the company expects to incur one-time pretax operations restructuring costs of between $12 million and $16 million, excluding the gain or loss on the sale of equipment and the write-down of assets.

The downsizing activities are expected to reduce lease obligations and debt and be substantially complete by year-end 2019, with workforce reductions effective over the next 60 to 90 days. The reduction in force represents approximately 10% of the company’s total workforce.

“The decision to downsize the dry van business is a significant step in executing our strategy to emphasize our value-added logistics and asset-light LTL segments and increase our returns on invested capital. We factored in the impact of this downsizing as part of the strategic review of our Truckload segment. We believe downsizing the dry van business will improve operating margins and cash flow, reduce lease obligations and debt, improve internal controls and allow greater focus on the significant value-creation opportunities within our other businesses,” said Curt Stoelting, Chief Executive Officer of Roadrunner.
