It currently operates with 11-50 employees and is in an active fleet expansion phase, recruiting experienced CDL Class A drivers for both local and long-haul routes.

Others

• Landstar System: Asset-light truckload broker that connects shippers with owner-operators; included as a 'platform' counterpoint showing the digital/asset-light model that asset-based small carriers like RPM must compete against for freight.

Direct peers

• R+L Carriers: Family-owned regional and long-haul LTL/truckload carrier with a similar private, multi-generational ownership structure, asset-based fleet, and broad freight service mix — the most direct peer to RPM in scale, ownership model, and operating approach.
• Southeastern Freight Lines: Privately held regional LTL carrier with comparable asset-based operations, strong service-orientation culture, and a focus on reliability — comparable to RPM in customer-segment and operating philosophy, though at materially larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Werner Enterprises: Large publicly traded truckload and logistics services provider; a relevant comparable for asset-based long-haul operations, driver recruiting practices, and equipment maintenance approach.
• ArcBest: Asset-based LTL carrier (ABF Freight) plus asset-light logistics; competes with RPM for regional Northeast LTL and truckload freight and is a relevant scale comparable.
• Hub Group: Intermodal and truckload provider with strong East Coast presence; comparable in customer base and asset-based long-haul operating model, relevant as RPM pursues long-haul expansion.
• Schneider National: Diversified truckload, intermodal, and logistics carrier; comparable in operating asset-based long-haul freight with similar safety/DOT-compliance positioning.
• Knight-Swift Transportation: Largest U.S. truckload carrier with broad long-haul and regional capacity, directly competing for the long-haul freight RPM targets as it expands; included as a large incumbent comparable for capacity, pricing, and market coverage.
• Old Dominion Freight Line: Largest U.S. LTL carrier; competes with RPM for the same Northeast shipper base and uses similar asset-based, service-quality positioning, but at vastly greater scale and with publicly disclosed financial strength.
• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: Major multi-mode carrier with dedicated, intermodal, and truckload services — competes for the same enterprise shipper contracts and the same CDL driver pool that RPM relies on for expansion.
