Growth for Top For-Hire CarriersFueled by Mergers and AcquisitionsTBy Daniel P. BearthSenior Features Writerhe 2016 Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largestfor-hire carriers in the United States and Canada reflects new realities for trucking.Longtime industry leaders UPS Inc. and FedEx Corp.have expanded their transportation and logistics services with major acquisitions over the past year. They include UPS’purchase of freight brokerage specialist Coyote Logistics and FedEx’sbuyout of Genco, a warehousing and e-commerce distribution firm inthe United States, and TNT Express, a global package delivery andlogistics firm based in the Netherlands.XPO Logistics joined the top ranks of for-hire carriers, jumping toNo. 3 on the for-hire TT100 this year from No. 14 a year ago, by virtueof its blockbuster acquisitions of Con-way Inc., French freight carrierand distribution company Norbert Dentressangle and U.S.-based intermodal 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 tohandle its peak shipping needs and a platform for providing transportation across all sectors of trucking. FedEx CEO Fred Smith said theacquisition of TNT “marks the beginning of a new era” and the addition of Genco gives the company new capabilities to provide e-commerce services. Brad Jacobs, CEO of XPO Logistics, said his companynow is among the largest providers of less-than-truckload, truckloadand intermodal freight services in North America.Others also are making waves.Schneider, one of the nation’s largest truckload carriers, acquiredtwo companies — Watkins & Shepard and Lodeso — to start a business unit providing final-mile delivery of heavy goods.PS Logistics, a company started by Robbie Pike and Steve Smith in2004, is making its first appearance — at No. 56 — with annual revenue of 491 million. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, the companyoperates a group of for-hire and dedicated private fleets and providesflatbed and refrigerated truckload, freight brokerage and transportation management services.Daseke Inc., a company headed by former real estate investorDon Daseke, climbed to No. 44 from No. 49 and expanded itsfamily of flatbed and heavy specialized carriers with the additionof Lone Star Transportation in Texas and Bulldog Hiway Expressin South Carolina.Montreal-based Dicom Transportation Group was among the biggest movers this year, coming in at No. 75 from No. 92 a year ago. Thecompany acquired regional parcel carrier Eastern Connection in 2015as part of a strategy to provide commercial delivery and expeditedfreight services in the United States and Canada.Other companies listed for the first time include: National Carriers (No. 94), a refrigerated truckload carrier basedin 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 truckfleet based in Lafayette, Louisiana. May Trucking (No. 98), a dry van and refrigerated truckload carrier based in Salem, Oregon. Oak Harbor Freight Lines (99), a regional less-than-truckload carrier based in Auburn, Washington.Quality Distribution Inc., a Tampa, Florida-based tank truck carrierthat ranked No. 39 a year ago, is not listed this year because companyofficials declined to provide data. The publicly-owned company wastaken private last year by Apax Partners.Data for all companies on the Top 100 list come from company management or through annual reports filed with governmentagencies in the United States and Canada. Where no data are available, or where company executives decline to release informationabout revenue, companies may be listed in various trucking sectors based on data provided by S.J. Consulting Group and otherthird-party industry sources.Acknowledgments and SourcesThe 2016 Transport Topics Top 100 is an annual project of Transport Topics with assistance from SJ Consulting Group.In some cases, revenue estimates were used to determine sector rankings.Senior Features Writer Daniel P.
