ABOUT US
It all started with a card table, a telephone,
and a new red chair…
And the dream was to provide an ethical company that strives to be the best in the industry.
Rick and Donna Jones started Meadow Lark in 1983 with a card table, a telephone, and a new red chair. Their dream was to provide an ethical company, that strives to be the best in the industry. This remains true today.
Meadow Lark Agency, Inc. and Meadow Lark Transport, Inc. are an asset based 3PL with headquarters in Billings, MT. With over 40 terminals across the USA and exceeding $200 million in revenue, Meadow Lark stands apart because of its devotion to customer service and passion for the industry.
Amanda Roth, Rick and Donna Jones’ oldest daughter has been with the company since 1998, learning all the different roles. In 2011 she purchased the companies from her mom and dad, and now runs a thriving business along with being a mom of three. In 2014 Meadow Lark became Woman Owned.

Do I need LTL or full truckload?
Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.
What are the differences between FTL Services and LTL Services?
FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
How can I avoid adjustments?
Adjustments can be costly, but can mostly be avoided with accurate information.
Common adjustments occur around oversized items (more than 12 feet in length), lift-gates,
limited delivery access, residential fees, reclassifications and changes to the bill of lading.
