Randolph, Massachusetts, August 22, 2022 - RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, a single source intermodal, distribution and logistics services company, announces today its entrance into the Oakland market and expansion of its national footprint with the acquisition of R&A Trucking Company based in Oakland, California.

R&A is a specialized operation handling a significant portion of the aluminum coils and rolled stock inventory to feed into the automotive industry that comes into the Western region of the U.S. With onsite rail service and state-of-the-art equipment designed to support this customized operation, R & A is uniquely positioned in the market.
R&A provides services in Oakland, as well as throughout the state of California, and provides RoadOne with greater penetration of the coastal transload market on the West Coast.

Eric Weakley, the President & Co-Founder of R&A Trucking Company, will remain with the company and serve as the Senior Vice President to run the day-to-day operations of R&A LogisticSolutions.
“R&A’s presence in Oakland is a perfect fit with RoadOne as it provides a missing piece in RoadOne’s national network of services.

We welcome R&A to the RoadOne family of companies,” said Ken Kellaway, CEO of RoadOne IntermodaLogistics.
