Top 50 US Third-Party Logistics Providers of 2024

2023 was a rollercoaster for third-party logistics (3PL) providers. Rates tanked, fuel prices soared, and finding talent became a nightmare. Warehouse space? Tight. Regulations? Increased. And disruptions? Frequent. Shippers were all about cutting costs and managing inventories better.

Key Challenges:

• Economic Downturn: The top challenge for 3PLs, according to Transport Intelligence (Ti).
• Rising Costs: Fuel prices and operational costs are through the roof.
• Increased Competition: New players in the market are pushing prices down.

Despite the challenges, here is the list of top-performing U.S. 3PL providers by revenue. This list comes from the leading 3PL consulting and research company Armstrong & Associates, Inc.
