R+L Carriers operates a large freight and logistics network with deep operational roots—founded in 1965 and still family-owned. The tech stack reveals a heavily operations-focused organization: Oracle, SQL, Python, and OR-Tools (optimization) sit alongside commodity infrastructure (Windows, Active Directory, Office). Hiring is heavily skewed toward logistics (208 roles) and operations (184), with only 12 engineering roles open despite 493 total postings. Active projects center on routing optimization, preventative maintenance, and safety compliance, while top pain points include staffing shortages, forklift operator recruitment, and tracking visibility—signals of a company scaling physical operations faster than enabling systems.
Notable leadership hires: Director National Accounts, Director of National Accounts, Loader Lead
