Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Full truckload freight

Primary estimate uses Mordor Intelligence's United States Full-Truck-Load market sizing: USD 448.65 billion (2025) and a 3.34% CAGR (2026–2031). Supporting context: MRFR provides a broader global freight-trucking market size (USD 3,232.28 billion in 2024, 4.35% CAGR) and IBISWorld reports US truckload industry revenue of USD 300.1 billion (2026). Mordor's US FTL figure is used as the primary market-size source and its CAGR as the growth-potential estimate; MRFR and IBISWorld are cited for global context and secondary validation.

Dedicated transportation

Primary inputs: MRFR’s global Freight Trucking market size (2024 $3,232.28B) and Mordor’s US Freight & Logistics market (2026 $1.43T, 3.8% CAGR). Dedicated transportation is a subset of freight trucking (contracted recurring truck/driver services). Using MRFR’s global trucking base, I estimate dedicated services represent roughly 10% of freight-trucking revenue (typical range for contract/dedicated and private-fleet outsourcing in trucking markets), yielding ~USD 323B. Growth potential is estimated modestly above overall trucking forecasts (MRFR global trucking CAGR 4.35%) because dedicated services gain share when shippers seek predictable capacity and cost control; I estimate ~5.0% CAGR.

Refrigerated transportation and logistics

Estimated 2025 global market for refrigerated over‑the‑road/regional truck transport derived from Future Market Insights cold‑chain total (USD 393.2B in 2025) reduced by refrigerated warehousing share (57.2%) to approximate transportation value (~USD 168B), then applying a road‑transport share assumption (~60%) to focus on over‑the‑road/regional truckload (~USD 101B). Growth (CAGR ~9.0%) balances high cold‑chain forecast growth (FMI 15.3%) with lower, carrier‑level trucking forecasts (US reports: SphericalInsights 4.5% CAGR; IBISWorld showing modest recent CAGR but large US revenue), and other market estimates (LinkedIn summary citing 11.4% for refrigerated transportation). Assumptions: transportation = cold‑chain total minus warehousing; road = ~60% of transportation; CAGR is a midpoint estimate reflecting global cold‑chain acceleration and slower trucking service growth in mature markets.

Intermodal and rail freight

Estimated North American intermodal + related rail freight market (~$85B) derived from: global rail freight market estimates (Mordor: ~$340.5B 2026; FactMR: ~$370B 2025) scaled to North America using intermodal regional shares and intermodal market sizing (Persistence: global intermodal $52.4B in 2025; North America ~36%). Oliver Wyman analysis of US addressable intermodal volumes and a cited $1.7B medium‑haul revenue opportunity indicate additional upside within North America. Taken together, this implies a North American addressable market on the order of multiple tens of billions (intermodal + drayage/last‑mile services and intermodal share of rail freight). Growth potential (CAGR ~6.5%) blends higher intermodal forecasts (Persistence 7.2% intermodal CAGR) and broader rail freight growth (Mordor/FactMR ~4.5% CAGR), reflecting faster expansion of intermodal and drayage segments versus overall rail freight.

Transportation management and brokerage

Primary estimate based on Mordor Intelligence’s freight brokerage market figures (USD 88.96B in 2026) and its 6.90% CAGR (2026–2031). ReAnIn (61.68B in 2025; projected to ~95.22B by 2032, CAGR ~6.4%) corroborates a mid-single-digit CAGR and similar multi‑year market scale for brokerage/managed-transportation services.
