R+L Carriers

R+L Carriers is a family-owned, privately held freight shipping and transportation company founded in 1965. What began with a single truck used to haul furniture has grown into an operation spanning all 48 contiguous U.S. states, Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Dominican Republic, with a fleet of more than 21,000 tractors and trailers. After more than 60 years in business, the company remains privately held, with no external funding disclosed.

The company's service range covers less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping, full truckload transport, expedited freight for time-sensitive shipments, and end-to-end global logistics and supply chain solutions. Alongside these, R+L Carriers provides technology-enabled shipping services built on EDI integration, freight APIs and in-cab scanning, which give customers real-time shipment visibility and tracking.

Technically, the organisation works across EDI integration, freight APIs, in-cab scanning technology, real-time shipment visibility and broader logistics technology and infrastructure. Its stated mission is to deliver superior service at competitive pricing through safe, efficient operations and innovative thinking.

The company describes its culture around the values of family, service, safety and quality, with customer satisfaction set as the number one priority. It frames its growth as preserving a personal touch while investing in modern technology and infrastructure.
