Overview

R&R Transporation is a family-based business established in 1977 and has been growing ever since. We specialize in reefer loads, with additional servicing for dry van transportation. Our corporate office resides in Lake Park, MN. The main traffic terminal is in Romeoville, IL., right outside Chicago. We have around 200 trucks on the road in 48 states, with the main lane of traffic between the Midwest and West Coast and additional offices in Carson, CA, and Santa Fe Spring, CA.

We take a great deal of pride in our fleet units, which are less than three years old, including Volvo, International, and Kenworth. Reefer and dry van are utility trailers. Our certified mechanics will maintain all equipment.

Drivers are the heart of the industry, and the staff at R&R Transporation is committed to keeping them safe and happy. To the outside world, “trucking” is about trucks. They see only the chrome, lights, color, and size, viewing eighteen-wheelers as lifeless hunks of metal on autopilot. To those of us on the inside, we know that trucking is all about people, especially the drivers. Without drivers, the trucks don’t roll, the carrier moves no freight, revenues disappear, and the whole thing screeches to a standstill. We can name drivers that best exemplify what it means to be a “professional truck driver.” Those men and women are worth their weight in gold.

We appreciate the jobs the drivers do and understand that they are the backbone of our business. We offer 24-hour on-call support for emergencies and do our best to keep drivers loaded and rolling to their preferred destinations. Many of our drivers have hauled R & R loads for 5, 10, 15, or more years. The hard work and loyalty of our drivers are appreciated.

R & R Transportation ran a reefer food load. Carrier had good equipment and maintained temp throughout transit. Electronic tracking was turned on by the driver, Josh. Bart provided good communication throughout the trip. Great job by this carrier.
