W hen TRANSPORT TOPICSpublished the first Top100 list of the largestprivate carriers in NorthAmerica in 2002, we

weren’t sure what to expect.The world of private carriage was

something like a parallel universe forfor-hire freight carriers. Thoughshipper-owned trucks carried fullyhalf of all truck freight tonnage, thebusiness of private and for-hire car-riage rarely crossed paths.

Now, after several years of publish-ing the TRANSPORT TOPICS Private100, it is apparent that the two worldshave begun to intersect in many signif-icant ways.

Private carriers routinely offer excess freight-hauling capacity to other shippers, competingdirectly with for-hire carriers for backhauls. Andmany for-hire carriers have created dedicated con-tract carriage units to provide dedicated capacity toshippers, replacing some private truck fleets.

Now, with capacity tight and freight rates rising,shippers are beginning to expand the size of theirtruck fleets once again and are looking for new waysto generate revenue by providing transportation anddistribution services to the market.

The move in 2005 by grocery retailer and wholesaledistributor Supervalu Inc. to purchase Total LogisticControl, a major provider of refrigerated warehous-ing and logistics services, is an example of how thelines between private and for-hire carriers are beingblurred.

Wal-Mart Stores, the world’s largest retailer, wasranked No. 1 on the first TT 100 Private Carriers listin 2002 with a fleet of more than 7,000 tractors. Ithas since been displaced by food-service distributorSysco Corp., which topped the 2006 list with 7,455 tractors.

Well over half of the companies on the TT 100Private Carriers list are involved in the distribution offood and retail merchandise. But the list also featuresa cross-section of companies from the heart ofAmerican industry — paper and wood products,steel distributors and petrochemical suppliers, alongwith companies that provide more specialized servic-es, such as the delivery of medical supplies and phar-maceuticals (Cardinal Health Corp.) and caskets(Batesville Casket Co.).

On the list, we also can see the growth of distribu-tion specialists such as Reyes Holdings. TheChicago-based company parlayed its ownership ofthe Martin-Brower Co., a major distributor toMcDonald’s restaurants, and a collection of regionalbeer distributors into a $7.5 billion enterprise thatincludes grocery supplier Reinhart Foodservice andMBX Logistics, a consulting unit that provides ware-housing and distribution, transportation manage-ment and freight payment services. Reyes ranks No. 8 on the 2006 TT 100 Private Carriers with more

than 1,500 tractors.C&S Wholesale Grocers, Keene,

N.H., has fueled its growth by tak-ing over distribution operationsfrom smaller retail grocery fleets.C&S operates more than 50 distri-bution facilities in 14 states andranks No. 19 with 958 tractors.

What’s next? We can’t predict thefuture, but it is our hope that byclosely tracking the activities of thelargest private carriers, at least wecan provide clues about the direc-tion in which both private and for-hire carriers are headed.

In addition to the TT 100 PrivateCarriers and the TT 100 For-Hire

Carriers lists, we publish the TRANSPORT TOPICSLogistics 50, a listing of the largest third-party logis-tics companies in North America.

And earlier this year, TRANSPORT TOPICS’ affiliate,LIGHT & MEDIUM TRUCK magazine, published theTop 50 Commercial Truck Fleets and the Top 50Utility and Telecom Fleets.

Our goal with each of these lists is to provide notjust names and numbers, but insight.

100 Trinity Industries

By Daniel P. BearthSenior Features Writer

T he 2006 edition of the TRANSPORTTOPICS Top 100 list of the largest privatecarriers features several significant addi-

tions with the inclusion of beverage fleets, awaste hauler and fleets that specialize in servic-ing the booming oil and gas sector.

Food processing and grocery distributionfirms continue to dominate the list, however,accounting for 45 of the top 100 private carriersin 2006 and about 60% of the total number oftractors owned and operated by the top 100fleets. Petroleum, chemical and gas companiesnumbered 19 — two more than a year ago.Wholesale and retail distribution also had 19companies on the list, followed by manufactur-ing with 12, building materials and metal prod-ucts with five and paper and office productswith four companies. Altogether, the Top 100private carriers controlled nearly 90,000 trac-tors, more than 219,000 trailers and 57,000straight trucks.

Topping the list for the fourth year in a row isfood-service provider Sysco Corp., followed bydiscount merchandiser Wal-Mart Stores, No. 2,and supermarket operator Ahold USA, No. 3.

Making its first appearance — at No. 4 — isPepsi Bottling Group. The Indianapolis-basedcompany operates New Bern Transport as a for-hire and private carrier and owns more than5,600 tractors.

In prior years, beverage fleets, along with mostvocational, utility, government and farm andhome fuel delivery fleets, were excluded fromconsideration in compiling the list of top privatecarriers because of their specialized nature. Forseveral years, New Bern Transport was includedon the TRANSPORT TOPICS 100 list of largest for-hire carriers, attesting to the dual nature of itsservice.

The decision to include beverage fleets in thelisting reflects the fact that beverages are amajor source of freight for both private and for-hire carriers. Plus, a number of companies pre-viously listed, such as Reyes Holdings and BenE. Keith Inc., traditionally have hauled beer andother beverages as part of their business.

Joining Pepsi Bottling Group on the list thisyear, at No. 25, is Charlotte, N.C.-based Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated, with 905 trac-tors, and at No. 65, Anheuser-Busch Cos. of St.Louis, with 425 tractors.

The same rationale was applied to waste-haul-ing fleets. Although garbage collection typicallyis handled by specialized equipment, tractor-

trailer units are used to transport compactedwaste to distant landfills. The only waste haulerto make the TT Private 100 this year isCalifornia-based Norcal Waste Systems, No. 86,with 321 tractors.

Also joining the TT Private 100 for the firsttime are oilfield service specialists Key EnergyServices and Basic Energy Services, ranked No.17 and No. 26, respectively.

Cemex Inc., the largest cement producer inNorth America, is ranked No. 56, and PacificCoast Building Products ranks No. 89.

Other newcomers include carpet and flooringmanufacturer Mohawk Industries, No. 31;Mobile Mini, a manufacturer of storage contain-ers and portable offices, No. 87; Core-MarkInternational, a distributor of nongrocery itemsto convenience stores, No. 88; Valley Proteins, aprocessor of used cooking oil and animal by-products, No. 73; and food distributors Sara LeeCorp., No. 24; Wakefern Food Corp., No. 74;and United Natural Foods, No. 85.

Information on the size of private carriers, forthe most part, was provided directly by compa-ny management, supplemented by data fromAmerican Trucking Associations andTransportation Technical Services Inc. ATA andTTS each publish directories of for-hire and pri-vate fleets.

Private carriers are ranked by the number oftractors they own or lease because tractors areconsidered the best measure of freight-haulingcapacity. The data do not include tractors usedby outside carriers that may provide dedicatedor common carriage services.
