U.S. 3PL Market 1996 – 2012E (US$ Billions)

1996 – 2011 CAGR = 10.3%

The U.S. 3PL industry has experienced a strong rebound from the economic downturn in

2009. For 2011, 3PL growth was three times the growth in U.S. gross domestic product

(GDP). With Asia cooling and Europe in decline, growth for 2011 was 5.1% and is

estimated at 6.3% for 2012. 2013 should be similar to 2012.

3.65 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil,

1.85 trillion cubic feet of associated/dissolved natural gas,

and 148 million barrels of natural gas liquids.

According to OilShaleGas.com, there are now over 6,000 active oil wells in

the Bakken Formation with most activity in Montana and North Dakota.

Bakken Formation, a Significant New

Domestic Source of Oil and Natural Gas:

• According to the 2008 United States

Geological Survey, the Bakken

Formation of the Williston Basin

Province in Montana and North Dakota

has estimated average undiscovered

volumes of:

BNSF Logistics Bakken Operations Logistics Support Case Study Example:

• BNSFL manages up to 10 to 15 oil rig moves per month for multiple oil & gas exploration

companies including Continental Resources and Brigham Oil.

Each move requires approximately 30 days to relocate a rig from one location to another.

To assemble a rig, 20 to 30 truckloads of materials and components are needed.

Overhead cranes are required to unload larger rig components.

To locally coordinate the oil rig moves, BNSFL opened an office in Williston, North Dakota last year.

• To support natural gas fracking operations, BNSFL manages inbound transportation for

multiple exploration/drilling companies to the drilling sites.

Inbound materials include drilling pipe, pumping units, frac sand, and fracking chemicals.

The frac sand is sourced domestically from mines in Illinois and Wisconsin and a small amount of

“ceramic” sand is imported via ocean containers from China and Brazil.

BNSFL supports frac sand moves with door-to-door ocean import services, rail to truck transload

services and intermodal rail-truck deliveries.

In 2011, BNSFL transloaded sand from 528 rail hopper cars to trucks for final delivery to drilling

sites.

BNSFL’s parent BNSF Railway delivered over 25,000 railcars of frac sand into the Bakken last

year.

Asia-Pacific and South America will continue to be the fastest growing 3PL Markets. Increasing focus on domestic markets for finished goods distribution Indonesia could be the “real deal” with the 5th largest global workforce at

117.4M, a median age of 28.5 years, and 16th largest GDP growing at 6.5%.

A more modern-oriented Middle East should bolster growth in air and ocean freight.

3PL M&A activity will continue at a healthy pace, but good targets are limited. Recent M&A deals have involved smaller ITM 3PLs indicating an expansion by

domestic transportation managers internationally via M&A. Purchases have been strategic and reflect the prevailing interest in non-asset

businesses.

Mexican-American cross border traffic should continue to increase. Increased near-shoring Slowing U.S. auto sales could impose limits.

3PL Market Predictions

25

Page 26: Using Freight Market Intelligence to Understand Known Unknowns in Pricing

Copyright © 2013 Armstrong & Associates, Inc.

Overall U.S. 3PL Market Growth should be similar to 2012. 2013 GDP growth is estimated at 1.5%. DTM will lead.

Project Logistics for Oil & Gas will continue to be strong. Long-term manufacturers relying on oil & gas as inputs will increase production in

North America.

Domestic Transportation Management/Freight Brokerage will continue to become increasingly competitive. The greatest pressure will be on small brokers. Gross margin pressure will continue with all players trying to achieve scale.

Expansion into DCC by general truckload providers will continue.
