The addition of these services is part of ROAR’s long-term, global strategy and is the latest in a series of strategic initiatives undertaken by the company, including joining The Cooperative Logistics Network (www.thecooperativelogisticsnetwork.com) this past spring, and the acquisition of Legend Transportation in Phoenix, Arizona in 2014.  With five offices nationwide, ROAR’s annual revenues exceeded $68M in 2014.
