The 2016 Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in the United States and Canada re-flects new realities for trucking.

Longtime industry leaders UPS Inc. and FedEx Corp. have expanded their transportation and logistics ser-

vices with major acquisitions over the past year. They include UPS’ purchase of freight brokerage specialist Coyote Logistics and FedEx’s buyout of Genco, a warehousing and e-commerce distribution firm in the United States, and TNT Express, a global package delivery and logistics firm based in the Netherlands.

XPO Logistics joined the top ranks of for-hire carriers, jumping to No. 3 on the for-hire TT100 this year from No. 14 a year ago, by virtue of its blockbuster acquisitions of Con-way Inc., French freight carrier and distribution company Norbert Dentressangle and U.S.-based in-termodal drayage firm Bridge Terminal Transport.

While mergers and acquisitions are not uncommon in trucking, these deals stand out.

With the purchase of Coyote, UPS gains access to more capacity to handle its peak shipping needs and a platform for providing transpor-tation across all sectors of trucking. FedEx CEO Fred Smith said the acquisition of TNT “marks the beginning of a new era” and the addi-tion of Genco gives the company new capabilities to provide e-com-merce services. Brad Jacobs, CEO of XPO Logistics, said his company now is among the largest providers of less-than-truckload, truckload and intermodal freight services in North America.

Others also are making waves.Schneider, one of the nation’s largest truckload carriers, acquired

two companies — Watkins & Shepard and Lodeso — to start a busi-ness unit providing final-mile delivery of heavy goods.

PS Logistics, a company started by Robbie Pike and Steve Smith in 2004, is making its first appearance — at No. 56 — with annual rev-enue of $491 million. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the company

operates a group of for-hire and dedicated private fleets and provides flatbed and refrigerated truckload, freight brokerage and transporta-tion management services.

Daseke Inc., a company headed by former real estate investor Don Daseke, climbed to No. 44 from No. 49 and expanded its family of flatbed and heavy specialized carriers with the addition of Lone Star Transportation in Texas and Bulldog Hiway Express in South Carolina.

Montreal-based Dicom Transportation Group was among the big-gest movers this year, coming in at No. 75 from No. 92 a year ago. The company acquired regional parcel carrier Eastern Connection in 2015 as part of a strategy to provide commercial delivery and expedited freight services in the United States and Canada.

Other companies listed for the first time include:• National Carriers (No. 94), a refrigerated truckload carrier based

in Irving, Texas.• PGT Trucking (No. 96), a carrier based in Monaca, Pennsylvania,

that provides flatbed/heavy specialized and tank/bulk freight services.• Dupré Logistics (No. 97), a petroleum and chemical tank truck

fleet based in Lafayette, Louisiana.• May Trucking (No. 98), a dry van and refrigerated truckload carri-

er based in Salem, Oregon.• Oak Harbor Freight Lines (99), a regional less-than-truckload car-

rier based in Auburn, Washington.Quality Distribution Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based tank truck carrier

that ranked No. 39 a year ago, is not listed this year because company officials declined to provide data. The publicly-owned company was taken private last year by Apax Partners.

Data for all companies on the Top 100 list come from compa-ny management or through annual reports filed with government agencies in the United States and Canada. Where no data are avail-able, or where company executives decline to release information about revenue, companies may be listed in various trucking sec-tors based on data provided by S.J. Consulting Group and other third-party industry sources.

Acknowledgments and SourcesThe 2016 Transport Topics Top 100 is an annual project of Transport Topics with assistance from SJ Consulting Group.
