Hurricane Katrina Update

Due to the devastation that Hurricane Katrina has caused along the Mississippi/Louisiana coastlline, we have had to make some adaptations to our operations. This website will be periodically updated to reflect these changes.

If you have any questions regarding our operations, feel free to contact us toll free.

Freight that was to be delivered via the New Orleans Terminal has been re-routed to one of the following R+L Carrier Terminals:
Lafayette, LA 1.800.794.7831
Jackson (Pearl), MS 1.800.242.0758
Pensacola, FL 1.800.940.8141

If the destination of the freight is open for business, the freight will be delivered by one of the above terminals.

If the destination of the freight is not open, the freight will be held at one of the above terminals until Customer Service is able to make arrangements with the shipper.
