Key Takeaways: The Top 100 Logistics Companies  Seth Clevenger is Managing Editor of features at Transport Topics. He plans, writes, and edits news features for Transport Topics’ weekly newspaper, supplemental publications and TTNews.com. In the podcast interview, Seth and Joe discuss the top 100 logistics companies. Below are some highlights from Seth’s article, 2023 Top 100 Logistics List Highlights Growth for 3PLs. Despite a challenging economic environment and less favorable market conditions, the largest third-party logistics companies in North America continued to grow last year. Spot freight demand has softened, and truck capacity has loosened since the frenetic days of the 2021 freight boom. Shippers have replenished their inventories after struggling with supply chain bottlenecks during the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. An overwhelming majority of the 3PLs that appear on the 2023 Transport Topics Top 100 Logistics Companies list continued to grow their revenues last year. The annual list ranks companies on the basis of annual gross revenue generated by their logistics operations, including freight brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing and distribution and asset-based dedicated contract carriage. Freight brokerage giant C.H. Robinson Worldwide holds onto its No. 1 ranking by a significant margin. Ryder Supply Chain Solutions climbed into the top 10 after expanding its revenue to $6.5 billion last year. Armada Supply Chain Solutions acquired St. Louis-based freight brokerage Sunset Transportation and lands at No. 13 on the Top 100 with more than $5.5 billion in revenue. Several companies are making their first appearance on the Top 100 this year, including RXO, Ryan Transportation Service, Scotlynn Group, Canada Cartage, KAG Logistics, and Logistics Plus. The Top 100 list and the accompanying sector rankings were produced in collaboration with industry research and consulting firm Armstrong &amp; Associates.   Learn More About The Top 100 Logistics Companies Seth on LinkedIn Transport Topicst on LinkedIn Transport Topics website Road Signs Podcast Episode Sponsor: Port X Logistics  Is Drayage Just Drayage with Brian Kempisty Episode Sponsor: Lean Solutions Group  Outsourced Sales and Marketing with Ryan Mann  The Logistics of Logistics Podcast  If you enjoy the podcast, please leave a positive review, subscribe, and share it with your friends and colleagues.

The Top 100 Logistics Companies with Seth Clevenger

With over a decade at Transport Topics, Seth is an expert on how technology is transforming truck transportation.  While those not involved in the industry might think that trucking is “low-tech” - everyone on this podcast knows that is simply not true.  The level of tech in trucking has been growing exponentially. Today, owner operators have as much (if not more) technical capability than the drivers for the largest firms had just 5-10 years ago.  In this conversation Seth and I will discuss how different technologies are being adopted and the impact they have today as well as in the future.     To wrap things up, Dr. Inam Iyoob joins Dr. Chris Caplice for the latest North American truckload market rate trends and forecast powered by DAT iQ.
