Red Line Freight Systems

What Red Line Freight Systems does

Red Line Freight Systems, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned Northeast regional carrier founded in 2005 and headquartered in Randolph, Massachusetts, with corporate offices and a primary distribution facility at 1133 County Street, Taunton, MA. The company operates as a Volume LTL/Truckload and Distribution Carrier, providing same-day and next-day service throughout New England, Northern New Jersey, and Eastern New York, with operating authority extended across all 48 continental US states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam through strategic carrier alliances.

The company's core offering is an integrated transportation-and-warehousing portfolio that bundles Dedicated Fleet Services with multi-modal transportation (LTL, truckload, temperature-controlled, expedited, flatbed/heavy haul, drayage from Boston Conley and NY/NJ ports, airfreight/LCL, and hazmat) and warehouse-and-distribution services (long/short-term storage, pick-and-pack, container devanning, CFS warehouse, rail spur service, and temperature-controlled storage) at the Taunton facility. Underpinning these services is a TMS/WMS technology stack with a new operations center for shipment tracking and a customer-facing online inventory and shipment tracking portal (rfsdweb.roadvision.com), plus a late-model owned fleet (Mack, Volvo, and Freightliner tractors; Hino and Freightliner straight trucks; 53/48/40/28 ft trailers; 20/40/48 ft chassis).

The go-to-market is B2B enterprise sales targeting shippers across manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and distribution, with a stated enterprise relationship with Boston Scientific for temperature-controlled freight. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis for transportation and drayage and on a managed-services basis for warehousing, with all engagements quote-based and no public pricing disclosed. The company markets through its company website, direct phone engagement (1-844-880-0540), dedicated account representatives, and a self-service tracking portal, with no visible social media or content marketing presence.
