US Logistics 2005

The US Logistics market is characterised by a wide range of business models.
Consolidation and M&A activity have contributed to a blurring of the lines that
traditionally segment the industry. As a general rule, companies are increasingly
searching out activities that provide customers with higher margin value-added
services. Certain sectors within the US logistics sector are highly consolidated
with high barriers to entry (such as the express sector), whereas other sectors are
highly fragmented characterised by commodity services (such as the truckload
sector).

Consolidation has occurred in various forms, with companies expanding through
acquisition in a specific sector, as well as across different sectors within the
logistics market. The most notable trend in recent years is the desire to expand
across sectors, such as non-asset based companies acquiring asset-based companies
and integrators acquiring freight forwarders and TL and LTL trucking companies to
both broaden services and expand geographically.
