Overview

Roadie is a logistics platform that uses a crowdsourced network to provide same-day delivery across the United States.

The platform charges delivery fees that vary by distance, size, and speed, and it also offers customized enterprise pricing and a range of services including buy online deliver from store, express air delivery, first and last mile shipping, and home delivery. Roadie differentiates itself with the largest local same-day network in the country, covering more than 20,000 ZIP codes and reaching over 90% of U.S. households, and by turning idle travel capacity into a public transportation grid. Its goal is to provide fast, flexible, and reliable delivery by efficiently leveraging everyday travel, benefiting both small businesses and large enterprises as well as individual customers.

Omaha Steaks expands partnership with UPS company Roadie.

Omaha Steaks expands partnership with UPS company Roadie. Roadie's nationwide delivery network provides the flexible capacity needed to support same-day delivery at scale. June 12, 2026 Omaha Steaks and UPS company Roadie first launched their partnership in May 2025, later expanding it in April 2026 to include same-day delivery. Previously, customers had a single shipping option, but the expanded offering now provides greater flexibility through same-day delivery. The offering reached all 44 store locations by May 2026. Roadie's nationwide delivery network, which includes more than 500,000 independent drivers, provides the flexible capacity needed to support same-day delivery at scale. With the expanded partnership, more than 140 million Americans can now have premium Omaha Steaks delivered the same day. The platform allows Omaha Steaks to extend delivery reach without additional fixed infrastructure while maintaining speed, visibility and reliability in the last mile of delivery. Roadie's delivery network follows cold-chain best practices designed to keep perishable items fresh, cold and protected throughout transit. Orders are matched with drivers and vehicles equipped to safely transport temperature-sensitive items, with real-time tracking that keeps customers informed at every step from pickup to doorstep. Omaha Steaks customers within a 30-mile radius can now receive eligible orders in as little as three hours when orders are placed by 3 p.m. Eastern Time. The two companies said the same-day capabilities support gifting for Father's Day. "'I need more salad for Father's Day,' said no one ever," said Marc Gorlin, founder and CEO of Roadie. "As a serious griller myself, there's no better gift than an Omaha Steaks Steak and Burger Bundle or Bestsellers Collection. And all the better if I can get it delivered fast and have the meal cooked just hours after placing the order. Don't waste time with neckties or aftershave. Send Dad ribeyes same-day, and you'll be the favorite kid on Father's Day." "Father's Day gifting is simple: Dad wants steak," said Nate Rempe, president and CEO of Omaha Steaks. "With Omaha Steaks and Roadie, customers can turn Dad's house into his very own steakhouse in as little as three hours with a gift that is premium, thoughtful, and SEAR-iously fast."

Roadie and Centiro enable same-day delivery for retailers without warehouse disruption

Roadie, a UPS company, has announced an integration with delivery management platform Centiro enabling retailers and third-party logistics providers to scale same-day delivery whilst maintaining warehouse efficiency. The integration was designed and deployed in weeks, allowing a major national retailer to launch ahead of the holiday season. The solution centres on Roadie's RoadieXD cross-dock system, which separates label printing from data transmission. Warehouse teams can print Roadie delivery labels alongside other carriers using existing workflows, whilst delivery data transmits to Roadie's platform in scheduled batches. This prevents system bottlenecks during peak periods. Roadie's network reaches 97% of US households across 30,000 postcodes through over 310,000 independent drivers. Sweden-headquartered Centiro has won multiple "Partner of the Year" awards within the UPS Ready Programme.

Bouqs picks Roadie for same-day flower delivery

Bouqs picks Roadie for same-day flower delivery. Freelance-driver network offers speed, flexibility and white-glove service. Key takeaways: The Bouqs Co., a direct-to-consumer floral retailer, has engaged UPS (NYSE: UPS) subsidiary Roadie to make same-day deliveries in several major cities using gig drivers as holiday demand spikes and customers seek arrangements that need special handling. The online flower seller is forecasting a 44% increase in planned order volume in the fourth quarter from the prior period, but won't be able to easily fulfill late orders before holiday deadlines from its network of distribution centers. By partnering with Roadie, Bouqs can prepare and send orders the same day for customers in key markets like Los Angeles, the company said in a news release on Tuesday. Roadie is a crowdsourced delivery platform that connects shipments to a network of independent drivers that make deliveries with their personal vehicles. It picks up orders for customers such as Walmart, Tractor Supply, FilterBuy, Spirit Halloween, paint brand Benjamin Moore and Nothing Bundt Cakes, at local stores and warehouses for last-mile delivery to shoppers. Bouqs has expanded its online model to include physical retail locations in San Diego, Los Angeles, and New York, which are co-located in other stores, and flower counters inside some Whole Foods Market stores. It plans to set up storefronts in San Francisco and Chicago, according to its website. Same-day delivery is also currently available in San Francisco, Chicago and Dallas. In addition to addressing capacity constraints during peak periods and service gaps created by traditional delivery windows, Roadie enables Bouqs to offer premium products, like florist-arranged centerpieces and compote-style vases, that aren't suited for boxed, long-distance shipping. The partnership will continue past the holiday season, Roadie Chief Operating Officer Dennis Moon said in an email response. Bouqs also benefits from Roadie's 24/7 delivery capability, real-time tracking, photographic chain of custody and a same-day delivery radius of up to 100 miles, he added.
