about us
FOR ALL YOUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS SINCE 1972
RLT, Inc. began in 1972 with a single truck hauling lumber and building materials throughout California. From those early beginnings, our company has grown into a trusted carrier serving customers throughout the Western United States.
Today, RLT remains family-owned and operated with terminal locations in Redding, California, and Aurora, Oregon. Our fleet includes refrigerated vans, dry vans, and flatbeds, allowing us to serve customers across a variety of industries and transportation needs.
Although our company has grown, our approach remains the same: work hard, communicate clearly, deliver dependable service, take care of our customers and employees.
Built on Hard Work, Dependability, and Long-Term Relationships
