    Roadrunner has a platform side? That's news to me.

    I've never ever seen a Roadrunner truck. I've seen 1,000,000,000 Landstar trucks

    I have heard good things about both companies, Landstar is much larger vs Road runner but the person I know that used to drive for road runner said that they're lease purchase deal is for real and the most legit one that he has seen from any trucking company that offers them, he currently has his own authority now but he had nothing but good things to say about his experience with road runner.
