Top 100 companies by revenue - any surprises? You betcha!

I was surprised Werner and Schneider were not near the top , ups was no surprise but YRC sure was !

 

True. They didn't acquire Kleysen until after that. Still though, they owned around 2 dozen companies back then.

 

I could not find an "article" on the referenced website for 2016 but found a listing of 2016/2015 updated listing... can't grab the whole list but here is a screen shot and link.

   Wow, so they do keep paying drivers low wages to make more money. Such a shame...

 

Transforce is the surprise on here, at least to me.

 

Yeah, who knew? I worked for Transforce last year for a few months as a transition from OTR to a local job. They payed decent and seemed to be a well-ran outfit but I had no idea they were bringing in that much money.

 

While who has the most revenue is interesting, I would be more impressed to see the list of companies that actually have the highest profit ratio to revenue. Making money is good, but keeping more of it is better. That is more reflective of the quality of customer base and good management.

 

This list is based on revenue, not profit.

 

I agree with Cowpie1. The top 10 is almost a mirror list of who has the most units I would imagine.

 

I question why Transforce is on there, they are a driver for hire company and not a Trucking company.
