"The addition of Higgins Transport Service strengthens our commitment to providing unmatched service throughout the Southeast global trade corridor".
Justin Higgins, owner of Higgins Transport Service, said joining RoadOne allows the local carrier to leverage a nationwide logistics platform to better serve existing clients and accelerate business growth.
Privately owned RoadOne operates a fleet of more than 2,500 drivers across over 100 port, rail, and truckload terminals nationwide, alongside nearly 5 million square feet of transload and warehouse space.
