-- Roadrunner Freight, a business unit of Roadrunner
Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner" or the "company") (NYSE:
RRTS), has partnered with MyCarrierTMS to offer customers a free
transportation management system (TMS) called RapidShip. Roadrunner
Freight customers using RapidShip can automate manual shipping
processes, improve transportation reporting and store documents.
The TMS is designed to be a central platform for all shipping
activities for small and medium-sized LTL shippers.
"We are excited to offer technology that will increase
transparency for customers while streamlining their supply chain.
RapidShip enables small-to-mid sized LTL shippers to automate their
transportation functions and gain more control over their
transportation spend," said Frank
Hurst, President of Roadrunner Freight. "Customers are able
to make routing decisions for all of their carriers, while having
access to a full suite of tools that will improve shipment
visibility."
RapidShip enhances visibility of freight rates through direct
API integration with carriers and improves shipment planning for
cost and service optimization. The TMS offers a single-page view
for quotes, real-time tracking information, carrier consolidation
and a calendar view of upcoming and current shipments, allowing
shippers to easily identify their preferred carrier for each
shipment.
"The MyCarrierTMS team is proud to work with Roadrunner Freight
and we look forward to the value that will be delivered to
Roadrunner and their clients through RapidShip TMS," said

into their shipping operations," adds Hurst. "Customers will be
able to securely manage all of their carriers in one place and have
