The asset-light trucking and logistics service provider, Roadrunner Transportation Systems, has reported a small increase in its second quarter profit while revenue gained 36.6%.

Revenues totaled $460.2 million compared to $331.9 million a year earlier, while net income was $14.8 million, compared with $14 million in the prior year quarter. Second quarter 2014 diluted income per share available to common stockholders was 38 cents, compared with 37 cents in the prior year quarter.

Truckload revenues increased 43.1% to $230.8 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $161.2 million for the second quarter of 2013. The improvement was primarily due to increased load growth, increased utilization of Roadrunner's truckload brokerage agent network, and the acquisitions of Wando Trucking, TA Drayage, G.W. Palmer Logistics, Yes Trans, and Rich Logistics, according to the company. TL operating income was $16.1 million, or 7% of TL revenues, for the second quarter of 2014 compared with $11.4 million, or 7% of TL revenues, for the second quarter of 2013.

LTL revenues, including fuel, increased 2.5% to $150.2 million for the second quarter of 2014 from $146.5 million for the second quarter of 2013.
