Economic Expansion in 2018 DrivesRobust Gains for Top 100 CarriersThe strongest economy in decades drove big gains in 2018for most, but not all, of the largest freight carriers in NorthAmerica.Despite favorable conditions for the industry at large, early 2019brought the closure of New England Motor Freight, a major lessthan-truckload carrier in the Northeast and Midwest, along with o thertrucking affiliates of privately owned Shevell Group, which rankedNo. 70 on Transport Topics’ Top 100 For-Hire Carriers list ayear ago.Mergers and acquisitions continued to rearrange the businesslandscape as well, although most of the action was among smallercarriers. Two of the most active consolidators in the truckingindustry, No. 3-ranked XPO Logistics and Daseke Inc., No. 21,have curtailed acquisitions for the time being.Tank/bulk specialist Heniff Transportation Systems purchasedMiller Transporters in June 2018 and makes its first appearance onthe Top 100 at No. 90.Several other companies also join the list for the first time:Hansen & Adkins Auto Transport debuts at No. 93 and is one ofthe few vehicle haulers to show an increase in revenue in 2018.Red Classic, at No. 81, is the highest-ranked newcomer tothe Top 100 list. The carrier is a unit of Charlotte, N.C.-basedCoca-Cola Consolidated and, as you might expect, specializes inhauling beverages.ContainerPort Group and RoadOne IntermodaLogistics alsodebuted this year with identical revenue and joined a thirdcompany, Trans-System Inc., in a tie at No. 86.PGT Holdings, the parent of flatbed and tank/bulk carrier PGTTrucking and Southern Pines Trucking, a cryogenic and heavyspecialized carrier, comes in at No. 98.Epes Carriers, ranked No. 76 a year ago, drops off the list afterselling its truckload/dedicated business to Penske Logistics, whileHub Group falls to No. 12 from No. 8 as a result of a restatementof revenue following the sale of its Mode Transportation businessin 2018.Some of the biggest movers in the Top 100 are companiesthat boosted revenue without the benefit of any acquisitions.Refrigerated carrier John Christner Trucking climbs 11 spots to No.89 from No. 100. Flatbed/heavy specialized carrier Melton TruckLines ranks No. 85 versus No. 93 a year ago, and Minneapolisbased truckload carrier Koch Cos. moves to No. 83 from No. 90.Two companies crossed the 1 billion revenue threshold for thefirst time. They are: Evans Network of Cos., an intermodal/drayageconglomerate; and Lynden Inc., a diversified trucking and logisticsfirm based in Anchorage, Alaska.The Transport Topics Top 100 and accompanying sector listsrank the largest for-hire carriers in the United States, Canada andMexico based on annual revenue.Data come from a number of sources. More than 120 companiessubmitted information from a survey conducted by TransportTopics. Other data come from financial reports filed with the U.S.Securities and Exchange Commission or the System for ElectronicDocument Analysis and Retrieval in Canada.In some cases, estimates are used to determine annual revenue.Data on trucking companies in Mexico are provided by Armstrong& Associates Inc., a logistics research and consulting firm based inWest Allis, Wis.Revenue estimates for some U.S. and Canadian carriers areprovided by S.J. Consulting Group, along with data first publishedby Modern Bulk Transporter.Data on mail carriers was compiled by Husch Blackwell, aWashington, D.C.-based legal services firm.Postscript:On a personal note, I will be retiring on June 30, so this is myfinal column for Transport Topics. It’s been a pleasure to cover thetrucking industry for the past 31 years, and I want to thank everyonewho has contributed to this annual project and others coveringlogistics, private carriers and global freight carriers over the years.It’s been a great ride.Acknowledgments and SourcesThe 2019 Top 100 For-Hire Carriers is an annual project of Transport Topics, with assistance from S.J.
