# Roadrunner tracking

> **In short:** A Roadrunner shipment can be tracked by its PRO or pickup number through the carrier’s public Tracking Web API, which answers without a login. M³ Tracker calls that API for every Roadrunner load and turns the carrier’s activity comments into a timestamped timeline.

Roadrunner is a US long-haul LTL carrier built around metro-to-metro linehaul, which is where Canadian brokers tend to meet it: the US leg of a cross-border load. Its Tracking Web API is public for PRO and pickup numbers; with account credentials it also searches by BOL and PO. M³ Tracker uses it directly, no browser involved.

- **Coverage:** Long-haul LTL between major US metros.

## How do you track a Roadrunner shipment?

1. Find the carrier reference on the bill of lading or the pickup confirmation. Any of these works: Roadrunner PRO number; the pickup number.
2. Roadrunner has no online tracking, so call or email dispatch with the reference and ask for the current status.
3. Repeat for every load, every day, for every carrier you book with — or let M³ Tracker do it.

## How does M³ Tracker track Roadrunner automatically?

M³ Tracker connects to Roadrunner’s tracking API. Add the Roadrunner PRO number to your dashboard and the status, origin, destination, pickup and delivery dates come back structured, refreshed on a schedule during business hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern on business days). No portal to open, nothing to copy.

- Your team sees every carrier in one dashboard, with the expected delivery date and an alert the moment it slips.
- Your customer gets a live tracking link with no login, and can subscribe to SMS updates from it.
- Status changes are logged with a timestamp, so “where is it?” has an answer before anyone asks.

## What do Roadrunner statuses mean?

Roadrunner statuses are mapped to M³ Tracker’s own buckets (booked, picked up, in transit, delivered, plus delayed and cancelled when reported), so your dashboard reads the same across carriers. A load is only marked delivered on an explicit delivery status, never on “arrived at terminal”.
