RoadOne Intermoda Logistics

What RoadOne Intermoda Logistics does

RoadOne IntermodaLogistics is a privately-held, asset-based intermodal logistics and drayage provider founded in 2012 by Ken Kellaway and David McLaughlin, headquartered in Randolph, Massachusetts. The company operates as North America's largest privately-owned asset-based intermodal drayage provider, running 2,500+ trucks across 100+ port, rail, and truckload terminals in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, with 5 million square feet of owned transload space and access to 75+ million square feet of warehousing through strategic partnerships. Its five core service lines - drayage, transloading, warehousing and distribution, dedicated transportation, and container terminal operations - are sold under a Single Source Solution (S3) model that covers the freight journey from port to floor.

RoadOne generates revenue through quote-based transaction fees across its service portfolio, targeting three primary customer segments: beneficial cargo owners/importers and exporters, third-party logistics providers and freight brokers, and freight forwarders. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales organization with a nationwide agent network operating under seven branded entities. Supporting the operations is a proprietary technology stack including the TrueVision Transportation Management System, Container Intelligence Tracker for end-to-end visibility, RoadTrak for real-time driver updates integrating weather and traffic, RouteTrak for route optimization, and geofencing and analytics for brokerage customers; the RoadOne LogisticSolutions (ROLS) division, launched in 2019, provides non-asset drayage brokerage.

The company has executed over 14 acquisitions since 2016 to expand from its Northeast base across the East Coast, Midwest, Texas, California, and Florida. In January 2023, Ridgemont Equity Partners led a recapitalization to fund continued geographic and service expansion. The most recent strategic moves include a partnership with Tesla to operate one of the first electric Tesla Semi-truck fleets, a 3.7% general rate increase effective Q1 2026, and the formation of an Executive Advisory Board in April 2026 drawn from former leadership of APL, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd America, and the South Carolina Ports Authority.

Direct peers

• NFI Industries: NFI is a privately-held, family-owned supply chain solutions provider with dedicated transportation, warehousing, drayage, intermodal, and brokerage services. As another large private, family-influenced player with comparable service breadth, NFI is among the closest privately-held analogs to RoadOne.
• STG Logistics: STG Logistics (formerly XPO's intermodal unit, spun out as part of GXO) is a privately-held intermodal drayage and containerized logistics provider. It is a direct competitor in port drayage, transloading, and container terminal services, particularly on the West Coast.
• Hub Group: Hub Group is the largest publicly-traded intermodal marketing and logistics company in North America, offering drayage, intermodal, trucking, and logistics services. It is the most direct public comparable to RoadOne's core intermodal drayage and S3 model, with the same customer base of BCOs, 3PLs, and steamship lines.

Broad incumbents

• Knight-Swift Transportation: Knight-Swift is one of the largest US truckload carriers and has expanded into intermodal and logistics through acquisitions. Its LTL build-out and intermodal growth create overlapping competition for enterprise dedicated and intermodal contracts.
• XPO Logistics: XPO is a large LTL and asset-light logistics provider with dedicated transportation and brokerage services that overlap with RoadOne's dedicated fleet and ROLS brokerage offerings. RoadOne's COO Don Ingersoll joined from XPO, reinforcing the talent and capability overlap.
• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: J.B. Hunt operates the largest intermodal fleet in North America via its BNSF partnership, alongside dedicated, ICS brokerage, and final-mile services. While a much broader incumbent, its Intermodal and Dedicated Contract Services segments directly overlap with RoadOne's drayage and dedicated offerings.
• Werner Enterprises: Werner operates dedicated, one-way truckload, and logistics services including a growing intermodal offering. It competes with RoadOne for dedicated fleet business and is expanding its port-and-rail-adjacent capabilities.
• Daseke: Daseke operates a network of specialized trucking and logistics subsidiaries across flatbed, heavy-haul, and intermodal. Its roll-up model and asset-based intermodal exposure make it a relevant structural analog to RoadOne's acquisition-driven growth strategy.
• Schneider National: Schneider is a major multimodal carrier with significant intermodal, truckload, and logistics operations. Its intermodal segment competes head-to-head with RoadOne for rail-based container movements and BCO contracts across the same US port and rail-head network.
• Landstar System: Landstar is an asset-light transportation services company with brokerage, freight forwarding, and intermodal offerings. Its non-asset model contrasts with RoadOne's asset-heavy drayage but competes for the same 3PL and shipper customers on intermodal and trucking capacity.
