Crown Owner and President Rick Prevatt and COO Steven McAllister, will continue to run the company, supported by RoadOne's fuel, truck and insurance purchasing capabilities, national warehousing and depot services, and end-to-end TMS TrueVision technology platform.

In January 2019, RoadOne partnered with Nonantum Capital of Boston as its equity partner to support its continued coast-to-coast expansion efforts and to invest further in technology. In 2020, RoadOne also plans to expand its transload operations in Houston and Norfolk, along with markets in the Pacific Northwest.
