Considerations
Primarily a freight carrier focused on B2B shipments; not designed for small parcel or direct-to-consumer ecommerce fulfillment
No publicly listed pricing or transparent rate cards; requires account setup and direct contact for quotes
API integration requires developer resources and a MyRLC account, which may present a barrier for smaller shippers
Limited self-service options for non-account holders; MyRLC signup requires manual approval during business hours (7am-5pm EST)
