Turners (Soham) has enough big wheels to make it a big wheel in the distribution industry. Founded in 1930 by Wallace and Frank Turner, family-owned and -operated Turners (Soham) is one of the largest privately owned transport companies in the UK. Its core businesses are temperature-controlled and bulk-tanker operations. Turners (Soham) also runs a fresh-produce distribution and storage center. With a fleet of 800 vehicles, the company serves customers that range from major retailers to government entities, including the US Air Force and Her Majesty's Prison Services.

U.S. Xpress Enterprises hopes customers find it x-ceptional. The company's truckload transportation units, led by flagship U.S. Xpress, provide medium- to long-haul service throughout North America, as well as regional service in the midwestern, southeastern, and western US. It also offers dedicated contract carriage, in which drivers and equipment are assigned to a customer long-term, and expedited freight hauling. Subsidiary Xpress Global Systems provides less-than-truckload freight hauling, warehousing, and distribution services. Overall, the company's fleet includes about 8,300 trucks and 23,000 trailers. Co-chairmen and co-founders Patrick Quinn and Max Fuller own the company.

Universal Truckload Services hasn't hauled freight beyond its own galaxy, but the company does cover the US and parts of Canada (Ontario and Quebec). As an "asset-light" provider of truckload freight transportation, the company operates through a network of truck owner-operators rather than employing drivers and investing heavily in equipment. It can call upon a fleet of some 3,400 tractors and 3,400 trailers, including standard dry vans and flatbeds; the majority of its tractors and trailers are owned by others. The company generates business primarily through about 770 sales agents. Trucking magnates Matthew Moroun and his father, Manuel Moroun, control Universal Truckload Services (UTSI).

Those familiar brown vans handle most UPS deliveries, but for bigger cargo, there's UPS Ground Freight. The company, known as UPS Freight, provides less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload freight transportation services throughout North America. (LTL carriers consolidate freight from multiple shippers into a single truckload.) UPS Freight operates a fleet of about 6,700 tractors and 22,100 trailers from a network of more than 200 terminals. In addition to for-hire LTL and truckload freight services, UPS Freight offers dedicated contract carriage, in which drivers and equipment are assigned to a customer long-term. The company is a subsidiary of package delivery giant UPS.

The US market is the one and only concern for US 1 Industries, which partners with its subsidiaries to provide truckload transportation services in the 48 contiguous states. The company doesn't have trucks of its own; instead, it does business through a network of independent sales agents, who arrange freight transportation via independent truck owner-operators. Approximately 160 commission-based agents operate facilities that monitor shipments. US 1's contractors provide transportation of freight in temperature-controlled trailers and flatbeds, as well as in standard dry vans. One of its specialties is the hauling of intermodal shipping containers, which can be transported by trucks, trains, and ships.
