TRUCKERS: What types of services/solutions do you offer? Truckers increasingly are providing a variety of services and solutions to clients, and this year’s survey helps to underline the depth and breadth of that trend. At the top of the list, 87% of trucking company respondents say they provide logistics services—an 11-point jump from 2024. That spike in truckers o ering those services makes it No. 1 on the list ahead of truckload services (83%) for the first time. Brokerage (76%), less than truckload (LTL) (69%), and dedicated contract carriage (67%) complete the top 5. With the Amazon e ect and the rise of rapid delivery demands, expedited continues to climb as an o ered service, having jumped from 49% to 63% as an o ering over the past two years and rising from ninth to sixth place in the rankings. The industry trend in adding services and solutions—versus shedding them—is backed up by the survey showing that 14 of the 18 service categories either showed growth or remained the same from 2024 to 2025.
TRUCKERS: What industries/commodities do you serve? Construction and building materials hold the top spot for the second consecutive year among the industries and commodities that truckers serve with 85% of respondents checking that box. Others topping 70% include freight of all kinds (78%), retail/ecommerce (78%), automotive (76%), consumer packaged goods (74%), and food and beverage/grocery, a category which has fallen 13 points since 2023 to 74%. Among those other industries and commodities seeing the most notable drops in service from truckers are high value, which has dropped 19 points to 54% in two years, and agriculture, which has fallen 18 points to 48% during that same time period.
