Don't learn safety rules by accident!

Sometimes, safety protocols can feel more like suggestions, but they should always be taken seriously and followed to a tee. Safety rules and protocols are there to make sure nobody gets injured on the job. After all, broken tools can be replaced, but you can't. At Roadrunner, our team members are our first priority. That's why Roadrunner always encourages everyone to follow safety guidelines! By doing so, it speeds up our processes and makes sure that clients get their shipments on time, and you get home safely.

National Driver Appreciation Week is finally here!

William Arthur Ward once said, "Feeling gratitude, and not expressing it, is like wrapping a present and not giving it." At Roadrunner, we are always looking for ways to express how thankful we are to our amazing drivers. That's why we always look forward to National Driver Appreciation Week every year. It's an amazing opportunity to show appreciation to our business partners and to celebrate all of their hard work!

To all of our amazing drivers, thank you for everything that you do. The road would be much different without you!

Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. ~ Conrad Hilton

Everyone at Roadrunner is always taking action to improve every aspect of the company. We don't focus on the mistakes that have been made because we know that they are valuable lessons that help us all to be successful. Before you can make successful actions, you must first learn from the mistakes of the past. The knowledge we gain from those mistakes helps guide each new action we take to be more successful than the last.

"I love my job with the drivers. I take care of them as they check-in. Roadrunner is a great company to work for, and it feels like being part of a big family. Everybody takes care of each other." - Marisol Vela Manifestor

In an office setting, your coworkers can make or break your entire work experience. That's why we do our best to have a caring environment where we can focus on growing both as professionals and as people. Supporting our business partners will always be our number one priority and the reason why we come to work every day. After all, hard-working men and women like our drivers make up the backbone of the nation and are the reason why our society can function in the first place.

"You have to see failure as the beginning and the middle, but never entertain it as an end." -Jessica Herrin

Failure is the beginning and middle of every great story. It's how we grow as professionals because sometimes, we don't get it right on the first try. How we deal with failure can make or break the rest of our careers: we can let failure deter us from trying again or we can rise above it by using it as a learning opportunity. Always ask the following questions: what went wrong in the situation? Why did we fail? What could we have done differently? By breaking down our failures, we can reflect on ourselves as individuals and figure out what to do in the future. Plus, research shows that taking the time to speak about our failures can make us happier and more productive!
