Transport Topics’ Top 50 Logistics Companies is sponsored online by

ABOUT THE TOP 50 LISTThe 2019 Top 50 Logistics Companies list is a joint project of Transport Topics and Armstrong & Associates Inc.Logistics is defined as the procurement of transportation for shippers and includes services such as freight brokerage, air and ocean freight forwarding, warehousing and distribution and dedicated contract carriage.Companies are ranked on the basis of actual or estimated net revenue and include a description of services, names of top executives, key customers and industry expertise.Senior Features Writer Daniel P. Bearth coordinated the project and was assisted by Joe Antoshak.Armstrong & Associates, a leading third-party logistics market research firm, provided revenue estimates and additional data used to rank companies in each of six logistics sectors.Firms wishing to participate in the 2020 Top 50 list can contact Transport Topics at [email protected].

Bigger is better. So says Brad Jacobs, CEO of XPO Logistics. And who can argue? XPO Logistics re-mains firmly entrenched as the No. 1 logistics

company in North America after a meteoric rise fueled by a string of high-profile acquisitions over the last eight years.

“Logistics is the last large industry that hasn’t consoli-dated,” Jacobs told Transport Topics. “This is an industry with more than $1 trillion opportunity, yet no company has even 10% market share. The market is fragmented today, but consolidation will be good for both customers and the economy. It’s better for the industry and the customer if there’s a handful of big players.”

Jacobs is not alone in thinking this way, of course, and with XPO putting a hold on acquisitions while it sorts out the loss of $600 million in business from its largest cus-tomer along with a slowdown in business growth in Eu-rope, others are seizing the opportunity to challenge Ja-cobs for supremacy in logistics.

UPS Supply Chain Solutions and DHL Supply Chain, ranked Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, grew much faster than XPO Logistics in the past year, narrowing the gap in rev-enue and maintaining a steady focus on expanding their logistics capabilities.

J.B. Hunt Transport Services jumped ahead of C.H. Robinson Worldwide in the rankings and, more impor-tantly, signaled that it was ready to make acquisitions to bolster its market share. J.B. Hunt purchased Cory 1st Choice Delivery, for example, as a way to accelerate plans to offer nationwide final-mile delivery services.

Penske Logistics and Lineage Logistics are two other examples of companies that moved higher in the rankings after making substantive acquisitions over the past year. Penske acquired Epes Transport System, a dry van truck-load and dedicated contract carrier. Lineage bought rival Preferred Freezer Services, displacing Americold as the largest cold storage warehousing firm in North America.

Lineage jumped to No. 9 from No. 18 on the TT Top 50 list while Americold dropped to No. 17, from No. 9 a year ago.

Companies outside of North America also represent a threat to the current group of top-ranked logistics com-panies.

DHL’s corporate parent, Germany’s Deutsche Post AG, is already the biggest and perhaps most capable logistics company in the world and other firms in Europe are ac-tively pursuing Ceva Logistics and Swiss freight forwarder Panalpina as acquisition targets.

And what about Amazon? The online retailer is pulling back some of the business it does now with third-party logistics companies and the consensus among many logis-tics industry analysts is that it will become a 3PL itself, if it hasn’t already.

All that is missing, frankly, is some way to objectively measure the revenue that Amazon generates by provid-ing fulfillment and delivery services to sellers that use its platform.

Some believe that Amazon is already bigger than any logis tics company in the world, but the reality is that we don’t know enough about the company or its long-term objectives to say for sure.

Logistics industry researcher Evan Armstrong sees sev-eral scenarios for Amazon, ranging from maintaining what it does today to becoming a full-fledged global logistics com-pany and making acquisitions, not unlike the way it entered the grocery business with the purchase of Whole Foods.

On the other hand, experts such as Jim Rice at the Cen-ter for Transportation and Logistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology point out that Amazon is losing money on logistics now and doing more of it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

But then, profits have never been a priority for Amazon. Growth is.

And that is the strategy that should worry all of the compa-nies on the Transport Topics Top 50 Logistics Companies list.
