UPS Named Top Logistics Company
May 03 2016 - 10:00AM
UPS is ranked No. 1 in Transport Topics’ annual issue of Top 50
Logistics Companies in North America. UPS also ranked No. 8 on the
top 100 warehousing list, No. 10 on the top 50 dedicated contract
carriers list, No.15 for the top 50 ocean freight forwarders, and
fourth on the list of top 50 air freight forwarders. Coyote
Logistics, which UPS acquired in 2015, ranked No. 5 on the list of
top 100 freight brokerage firms.
“We continue to deliver for customers with our specialized
logistics services while also expanding our network, capabilities,
and investments in technology,” said Stan Deans, president, global
logistics and distribution. “We provide services from 3D printing
to warehousing, ocean freight to overnight shipping, and everything
in between. This ranking shows our customers find value in our
services.”
UPS added over 320,000 square feet to its healthcare facilities
in 2015 and 980,000 square feet to its non-healthcare warehousing
facilities. New services like China to Europe rail provide a faster
alternative to ocean and a more economical alternative to air
shipping. UPS also strengthened its cross-border services for
Mexico making it easier for exporters in both countries to ship
across the border. UPS Express Critical® service, which provides a
broad range of urgent global transportation options, expanded into
Mexico last year to complement UPS’s core services by filling the
gaps for late cut-offs, weekends and holidays.
The Transport Topics Top 50 Logistics Companies list was
compiled based on net revenue and warehousing rankings are based on
total square footage. Dedicated contract carriers are ranked on the
number of power units provided for shippers. Air freight forwarders
are ranked by total metric tons and ocean freight forwarders are
ranked on container shipments measured in 20-foot-equivalent units,
or TEUs. All reported figures are based on full year data from
2015.
