10 Biggest Trucking Companies

Trucking companies are part of the global transportation sector, specializing in the movement of goods along roads and highways and key players in the supply chain.

Many of the biggest trucking companies provide other forms of transportation, including rail and air, and offer logistics services, which can facilitate faster deliveries at lower costs to a greater variety of destinations.

While U.S. companies dominate our list ranked by 12-month trailing (TTM) revenue, a Japanese company is first. This list is limited to companies that are publicly traded in the U.S. or Canada, either directly or through ADRs. Data is courtesy of YCharts.com and all figures are as of Jan. 11, 2023.

Some of the stocks below are only traded over-the-counter (OTC) in the U.S., not on exchanges. Trading OTC stocks often carries higher trading costs than trading stocks on exchanges. This can lower or even outweigh potential returns.
