There was a time not so long ago when if you needed something
shipped, you called a trucking company and worked out the
arrangements as best you could.
Nowadays, it’s quite possible that your first call will not be to a freight
carrier but rather to a logistics company that may have no freight-hauling
assets but has connections to those who do.
It’s this change, made possible by the application of
technology and a burst of innovation on the part of new
business owners, that is driving incredible growth in the
market for third-party logistics services.
In this year’s edition of the Top 50 Logistics Companies,
senior features writer Daniel P. Bearth explores the
boundaries between trucking and logistics and finds the
lines increasingly blurred.
Dealing with trucking companies has never been as
simple as it appears. Now, more than ever, it seems that
freight carriers are driven by operational concerns. To be
successful, fleets must be more selective about where
they go and what they haul, because drivers are in short supply and the
cost of buying and maintaining new equipment has risen.
And shippers, who may have once had traffic managers on staff to help
sort out their transportation options, are finding a whole new universe
of transportation intermediaries at their door eager to help: brokerage
firms that match loads with trucks, forwarders that acquire freight-
hauling capacity from air and ocean carriers, warehousing and distribu-
tion companies that manage inventory and truck operators that supply
dedicated capacity and specialized delivery services.
The growth of third-party logistics services is changing the very nature
of trucking.
Two of the country’s best-known trucking companies — J.B. Hunt
Transport Services and Schneider National Inc. — now rank among the
largest logistics companies in North America. J.B. Hunt ranks No. 2, and
Schneider National ranks No. 10 on the Top 50 list. Both companies have
bolstered their logistics credentials by expanding intermodal, freight bro-
kerage and dedicated contract carriage services.
Much of the change is being driven by private investors who are pour-
ing money into logistics firms and, in the process, creating organizations
capable of providing all kinds of transportation services.
Among the most aggressive players in the market is XPO Logistics
Chairman Bradley Jacobs.
Jacobs founded and built up four successful companies — Amerex Oil
Associates, Hamilton Resources, United Waste and United Rentals —
before turning his attention to the logistics industry with
the purchase of Express-1 Solutions in September 2011.
He since has acquired eight companies and started up 18
new operations. His goal is to turn XPO into a multibillion-
dollar company within a few years.
In a recent presentation to financial backers, Jacobs ex-
plained why he picked logistics as his next big investment.
“Let’s start with size,” he said. “Logistics worldwide is
more than $3 trillion in annual revenue. In the United
States alone, it’s about a trillion dollars.”
Furthermore, Jacobs said, the logistics pie is expanding.
“It makes economic sense for most companies to utilize
third-party logistics services,” he explained. “Instead of
using internal staff to find freight or capacity, shippers and carriers are
increasingly using brokers.”
The logistics industry also is highly fragmented, Jacobs said, with more
than 10,000 licensed brokers but fewer than 25 with annual revenue of
more than $200 million.
While investors are staking a claim in the industry, so, too, are entre-
preneurs. Tommy Skinner, a former transportation manager, launched
Shift Freight to provide less-than-truckload freight service for logistics
companies. Shift Freight is growing at warp speed, and so are many other
aggressive, tech-savvy firms that seem to be filling an important role in
meeting the needs of shippers and carriers.
We believe this combination of investment and initiative will continue
to drive the growth of logistics and reshape the Top 50 Logistics
Companies list for years to come.
