RE: $55,000,000 Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Commitment Letter

Dear Ms Vijums:

     U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) is pleased to advise Roadrunner Transportation
System, Inc. (“Borrower”) that U.S. Bank shall extend senior credit facilities (the “Facilities”)
to the Borrower in the principal amount of $55,000,000. The proceeds of the Facilities shall be
used: (i) to payoff certain existing debt of RRTS, Group Transportation Services Holdings, Inc. and
their respective subsidiaries; (ii) for working capital, capital expenditures, and other corporate
purposes; and (iii) related transaction fees and expenses and other general business purposes, all
subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter described and as contained in the enclosed Senior
Secured Credit Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Term Sheet”). This letter is
hereinafter referred to as the “Commitment Letter”. It is contemplated that immediately upon the
consummation of the Facilities, a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Borrower will be
merged with and into Group Transportation Services Holdings, Inc. (“GTS”), with GTS being the
surviving corporation.

     The Facilities shall be made pursuant to a Credit Agreement and related documents (the “Credit
Documents”) under which U.S. Bank will act as sole and exclusive agent (referred to herein as the
“Agent”). Initially, the Agent will hold up to the full amount of the Facilities but the Agent may
subsequently syndicate the Facilities at a later date to be determined. U.S. Bank’s commitment
hereunder is subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive Credit Documents satisfactory
to the Agent in all respects. The Credit Documents will embody the structure, pricing and other
terms described in the Term Sheet. They will also include provisions viewed by the Agent and its
counsel as appropriate for transactions of this type that are consistent with the Term Sheet.
Accordingly, it is acknowledged and agreed by the Borrower that this Commitment Letter and the Term
Sheet are indicative but not exhaustive as to the terms and conditions that shall govern the
Facilities.

     Prior to the closing of the Facilities, the Borrower shall provide the Agent with all
information deemed reasonably necessary by the Agent to complete successfully the Agent’s due
diligence review, inspection and evaluation of the financial condition, assets and liabilities of
the Borrower.

     The Borrower shall prepare and provide to the Agent all information with respect to the
Borrower, including financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as the Agent may

reasonably request. The Borrower represents and covenants that (a) all information other than the
Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to the Agent by the
Borrower or any of its representatives is or will be, when taken as a whole, complete and correct
in all material respects and does not or will not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained therein not materially misleading and (b) the Projections that have been or
will be made available to the Agent by the Borrower or any of its representatives have been or will
be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable. In arranging and
syndicating the Facilities, the Agent may use and rely on the Information and Projections without
independent verification thereof.

     U.S. Bank’s commitment is further subject to the conditions that (a) the Agent’s due diligence
activities shall not have uncovered and there shall not have occurred any material adverse change
in the assets, business, prospects, operations or financial condition of the Borrower and its
subsidiaries taken as a whole since December 31, 2009, or in financial or capital market conditions
generally from those currently in effect, (b) the transaction shall conform in all material
respects to the terms described in this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet.

     This Commitment Letter is delivered to the Borrower on the understanding that neither this
Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly
or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to the Borrower’s directors, officers, agents and
advisors (but not any other commercial lender) who are directly involved in the consideration of
this matter, (b) the Target and senior management of the Target to the extent you notify such
persons of their obligations to keep such material confidential and the fact that they may not rely
upon this Commitment Letter or (c) to prospective investors in connection with the initial public
offering of the Borrower’s shares.

     The Borrower agrees that neither it nor any of its affiliates shall place, arrange, or renew
any competing commercial bank or other credit facilities relating to the Borrower; provided, that
if the Credit Documents have not been executed by the date the commitment set forth in this
Commitment Letter expires, this restriction shall no longer apply.

     By acknowledging and agreeing to the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Borrower agrees to
be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with this financing
transaction, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, preparation, administration, and
enforcement of all documents executed in connection with this transaction, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by U.S. Bank in connection with this Commitment Letter, the
Term Sheet, and the Credit Documents, in each case regardless of whether or not the Facilities are
closed.

     The Borrower will indemnify and hold harmless U.S. Bank and each of its affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against
(and will reimburse each Indemnified Party as the same are incurred) any and all claims, damages,
losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, disbursements
and other charges of common counsel for the Indemnified Parties) that may be incurred by or
asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection
with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation,
litigation or proceeding or

preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (a) any aspect of this Commitment Letter or the
Term Sheet and any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) the Facilities, or
any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds thereof, except to the extent such claim,
damage, loss, liability or expense is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an
investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such
indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought
by the Borrower, its equity holders or creditors, or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an
Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Facilities or
the transactions related thereto are consummated. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability
(whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or its affiliates or
to its equity holders or creditors arising out of, related to, or in connection with any aspect of
the Facilities or the transactions related thereto except to the extent of direct (as opposed to
special, indirect, consequential or punitive) damages determined in a final nonappealable judgment
by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter, neither the Borrower nor any
its affiliates shall assert (and they irrevocably waive any right they may have to assert), and no
Indemnified Party shall be liable upon or for (a) any cause of action or remedy for specific
performance or intentional interference of contract (or any similar remedy or cause of action)
based upon or arising due to any alleged or actual breach by U.S. Bank of its obligations under
this Commitment Letter or (b) so long as not attributable to an Indemnified Party’s gross
negligence or willful misconduct any claim or damages arising from the use by others of information
or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission
systems.

     The Borrower’s obligations under the immediately preceding two paragraphs shall continue and
are and shall remain absolute obligations of the Borrower and shall survive any termination of this
Commitment Letter, in each case unless and until the parties execute definitive Credit Documents.

     The obligations of U.S. Bank under this Commitment Letter shall be enforceable solely by the
Borrower and may not be relied upon by any other person. This Commitment Letter shall not be
assignable by the Borrower without the prior written consent of U.S. Bank (and any purported
assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit
of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in
favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or
waived except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. This Commitment Letter may
be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which,
when taken together, shall constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of
this Commitment Letter by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually
executed counterpart hereof. This Commitment Letter is the only agreement that has been entered
into between the parties hereto with respect to the Facilities and sets forth the entire
understanding of the parties with respect thereto. This Commitment Letter shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Any right to trial by jury with respect to any action or proceeding arising in connection with or
as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter is

hereby waived by the parties hereto. The Borrower agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in
respect to this arrangement or any matter referred to in this Commitment Letter will be tried
exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the State of Minnesota or, if that court does not have
subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City of Minneapolis and the Borrower
agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

     Our commitment hereunder shall terminate upon the first to occur of (i) at U.S. Bank’s
election, a material breach by the Borrower under this Commitment Letter and (ii) June 30, 2010,
unless the closing of the Facilities, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein,
shall have been consummated on or before such date.

     The commitment hereunder is effective upon receipt by U.S. Bank of a copy of this letter and
Fee Letter, signed by the Borrower. If the commitment hereunder is not accepted as aforesaid by
Borrower at or before 5:00 p.m. CDT on April 22, 2010, it will automatically terminate.

	 	Interest on Base Rate loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month. Interest on
LIBOR-based loans shall be payable at the end of the applicable LIBOR interest period (not to exceed three

be adjusted for any statutory reserves.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Borrower shall pay Letter of Credit fees equal to the then applicable spread above LIBOR on the
aggregate face amount of Standby Letters of Credit issued under the Revolving Credit, payable quarterly in
arrears. The Borrower shall pay customary fees payable to the Agent and Lenders, including issuance,
negotiation, and payment fees.
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	The Default Rate shall be equal to 2.00% above the then-applicable Interest Rate.
	 
	 	 
	Collateral:

	 	The Facilities shall be secured by perfected first priority (subject to usual and customary permitted liens)
security interests in and liens on substantially all the assets, including accounts receivables and

	 	In the event portion of Revolver Outstandings is converted to term debt post-close, voluntary prepayments
and commitment reductions may be made at any time without premium or penalty, subject to minimum notice and
minimum prepayment or reduction requirements, as the case may be; provided that voluntary prepayments of
LIBOR Loans made on a date other than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto shall be subject
to the payment of customary breakage costs if any apply. All commitment reductions to the Revolving Credit
shall be permanent.
