Local Trucking Company in Joplin
A family-owned fleet of 22 trucks hauling across the Four States and all 48, with one dispatcher who knows your freight.
Freight We Haul
Full truckloads, picked up on time and delivered with paperwork in order. Tell us the load and the lane and we'll quote it the same day.
Started By A Driver, Still Run Like One
Rountree began with one owner-operator and one truck running loads out of Joplin. Sixteen years later there are 22 company trucks in the yard, but the way we work hasn't changed: we answer the phone, we tell you the truth about your load, and we pay our drivers to do the job right instead of fast.
- ✓Company drivers, not a load board
- ✓Same dispatcher on your account
- ✓Trucks serviced in our own shop
From The Four States To Anywhere
Most of our freight moves between Joplin and the cities a day away, and shippers with weekly freight can have the same truck and driver on a dedicated lane. Longer loads go anywhere in the lower 48.
- ✓Kansas City and Tulsa
- ✓Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma City
- ✓St. Louis, Memphis and Chicago

What Working With Us Is Like
You Talk To The Same Person
One dispatcher handles your account and knows your docks, hours and paperwork.
Bad News Comes Early
If weather or a breakdown will make a load late, you hear it from us first.
Our Trucks, Our Drivers
We don't broker your freight to a stranger. A Rountree truck picks it up and delivers it.
Quotes You Can Hold Us To
The rate we quote is the rate on the invoice, unless the load changes.
From The Shippers We Haul For
We ship two reefer loads a week to Dallas. Rountree has run that lane for us for four years, and the temperature log comes with every delivery without anyone asking for it.
Our old carrier went quiet the minute a truck left the dock. With Rountree I get a text at pickup, a check call mid-route and a photo of the signed bill of lading.
Steel coils and lumber, tarped and strapped right every time. When a load ran a day late because of weather, dispatch called me before the receiver did.
Trucking FAQ
How fast can I get a freight quote?
Usually within a few hours while dispatch is open, Monday to Saturday. Send the pickup and delivery locations, dates, weight and the equipment you need, or call dispatch and we will quote it on the phone.
Do you haul partial loads?
We're a full-truckload carrier, but we'll take a partial when it fits a truck already heading your way. Ask and we'll tell you honestly.
Are you a carrier or a broker?
A carrier. Your freight goes on a Rountree truck with a Rountree driver. Our USDOT and MC numbers are listed on this page.
Can you send a certificate of insurance?
Yes. Tell us who should be the certificate holder and we'll have it to you the same day.
Where do you pick up?
Anywhere in the Four States area around Joplin: southwest Missouri, southeast Kansas, northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. We deliver anywhere in the lower 48.
Are you hiring drivers?
