Roadrunner Transportation Services Opens New

90,000 Square Foot, State-of-the-Art Terminal in Seattle Market

Effective April 26, 2010, Roadrunner Transportation Service (“RRTS”) has moved its Seattle/Tacoma marketplace operations into a state-of-the-art, 90,000 square foot terminal facility in Sumner.  The new address is 3520 142nd Avenue East, Sumner, WA, 98390.

"Never before in the Pacific Northwest have we had such a premier facility," stated Scott Dobak, Roadrunner Transportation Services' Vice President of Sales and Marketing.  "RRTS now has the ability to provide even greater customized transportation solutions and improved service offerings to better meet customers’ supply-chain needs."

The terminal facility is nearly 40 percent larger in size than the previous facility, includes an enhanced security system and provides for improved outbound and inbound footprints.   From the new Sumner facility, Roadrunner is able to provide customized services to 100% of the United States including Alaska and Hawaii, as well as service to Canada, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Islands.

The facility move was partly precipitated by the recent acquisition of Bullet Freight Systems, Inc. (“Bullet”) by a RRTS' subsidiary in December 2009.  Bullet, a premium service transportation and logistics company headquartered in Anaheim, CA, offers a full range of services, including premium LTL services as well as truckload, intermodal and air freight services through its Caliber Logistics Division. 

That acquisition has lead to a substantially greater collective sales network, including the merging of the Roadrunner Transportation Services and Bullet sales staff for the Seattle market.  The addition of Bullet’s premium service offering and customer base catapults RRTS to a major transportation provider in the Pacific Northwest market.
