"Road Runner is a great service, excellent pricing, great drivers and fast service. They also have great communication. I ship a lot of vehicles and things happen. Road Runner is only a call away and have always solved any issues."
"Very smooth and timely pickup and delivery. Easy to communicate with dispatch and operators when needed. Will recommend and use RoadRunner Auto Transport again in the future!"
"Seamless automated experience. I never spoke with a live body to get a quote and schedule pickup but the timely electronic communication confirming that my driver was assigned, the call I received 2 hrs prior to pickup from the driver, being able to track my shipment along with driver updates and…"
"Super easy to request a quote for enclosed transportation. Received phone call 3 days before planned pick up to confirm details. The final price was a bit more than originally quoted, but I was not a huge difference, so I was OK with it."
Open or Enclosed Transport for North Dakota to Rhode Island?
Open car transport is the standard choice for most shipments and the most economical way to ship a daily driver, SUV, or truck. Your car rides with 8–10 others on a multi-vehicle trailer, driven on via built-in ramps and secured to the deck for the trip — the same way dealers move new inventory. See open auto transport for details.
Enclosed car shipping earns its premium of roughly 50% when the vehicle itself calls for it: luxury, classic, and exotic cars, a vehicle fresh off the dealer lot with no road miles, or anything you would not want exposed to weather and road debris. If you're weighing the two, our guide to the difference between enclosed and open auto transport covers it in detail.
Expedited shipping is also available when the calendar is not negotiable: guaranteed pickup windows and direct driver routes that get your vehicle there faster. It is the option time-sensitive moves lean on, from military relocations to students starting a new semester.

Highly recommend Road Runner over other carriers. Shipped a truck from TN to ND. Very easy process... enter a few pieces of info on the website and get a quote, then get scheduled. Pick up and drop off were prompt and on time. Driver was very professional, with a nice semi and trailer. Didn't have other brokers calling, texting and emailing, just worked strictly with RR. Will use them for future auto transports.
