A Top 100 Trucking company by Inbound Logistics and a Top Tier Service Carrier by Mastio, Roadrunner is an LTL industry leader on the rise.

Roadrunner is growing and looking for a highly motivated Pricing Engineer to join our winning team. If you are results driven and looking for a rapidly growing company with high growth and earnings potential, apply today! We Run Safe. We Run Smart. We Run Together. This role is built for someone with strong analytical horsepower and high curiosity. You may come from engineering, mathematics, statistics, or a quantitative field. What matters is your ability to break down complex problems, work with data at a deep level, and apply mathematical reasoning to real business decisions. You will support both day-to-day pricing execution and, over time, contribute to more strategic initiatives: identifying patterns, solving problems, and helping shape pricing decisions across the business. You will work in a fast-paced environment with real deadlines and high expectations. There is no micromanagement here. Output and ownership matter. This role requires strong quantitative thinking. If your experience is primarily executing tasks without deeply understanding the data behind them, this role will not be a fit.
