RoadOne IntermodaLogistics Expands Nationwide Intermodal Network With Agent-Based Business Model

RANDOLPH, MA--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 2013) - RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, a leading single source intermodal, distribution, and logistics services company, announces today that its affiliate, QLS Logistic Services, LLC, has acquired US Intermodal, Inc., an intermodal trucking and drayage business, which will function as the core of a new, coast-to-coast agent drayage and brokerage business US IntermodaLogistics. This new agent-based business currently has locations in Chicago, Norfolk and New Jersey.

Mark Pontarelli will fill the role of Vice President of Agent Partner Solutions for US IntermodaLogistics. He will be responsible for establishing and building a new agent network throughout the U.S. Most recently, Mark was owner of US Intermodal, Inc. where he established agent-based intermodal drayage services in key market hubs. 

David McLaughlin, Chief Operating Officer, RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, said "We're committed to providing our agent partners with high quality support and resources to ensure their success. US IntermodaLogistics will purchase shared services from RoadOne including: sales and marketing support, financial assistance, insurance, equipment purchasing programs, and back office support."

"This new agent model provides the opportunity to effectively expand our current 'company store' intermodal drayage service by increasing our reach into new markets, as well as supporting established markets. We believe this is a further indication of our commitment to being a single source solution for customers," said Ken Kellaway, CEO of RoadOne IntermodaLogistics. 

RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, based in Boston, was launched January 2013 by industry veterans Ken Kellaway and David McLaughlin. The Kellaway-McLaughlin leadership team was established in 1993 when they joined forces to run Kellaway Intermodal & Distribution Systems. This strong management partnership continues today with the recent launch of RoadOne IntermodaLogistics.
