Roadrunner Moving & Storage

What Roadrunner Moving & Storage does

Roadrunner Moving & Storage is a privately held, Houston-based moving and logistics company founded in 1976 that operates an integrated portfolio of nine service lines spanning residential and commercial moving, industrial relocation, warehousing and storage, FF&E distribution and installation, laboratory and medical equipment relocation, records and documents management, international relocation, and third-party logistics and distribution. The company's core technology stack is modest: it integrates with customer WMS/TMS systems for warehousing workflows, uses barcode chain-of-custody tracking for records management, and operates an owned fleet for direct service delivery — no proprietary AI, digital platform, or software product is disclosed. Revenue is generated primarily through custom-quote, pay-as-you-go engagements for moving services, supplemented by recurring revenue from warehousing and records management subscriptions; pricing is not publicly disclosed and all sales occur via phone, email, or website quote forms.

The customer base is segmented across residential homeowners, commercial office tenants, industrial operators, healthcare and research institutions, FF&E procurement teams (hotels, offices, retail), records-heavy legal and financial services firms, and international relocating individuals and businesses. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, supplemented by SEO, social media presence on Facebook/LinkedIn/Twitter, a content blog, and credibility signals from professional affiliations including the Office Moving Alliance, International Association of Movers, and FIDI-FAIM certification. The company differentiates through 49 years of brand history, an A+ BBB rating, specialized certifications (FIDI-FAIM, HIPAA, US Military/USDA), certified crews for industrial rigging and cold-chain medical handling, and 14+ Houston-area service submarkets extending to Texas-wide and nationwide coverage with international reach.
