Methodology and sourcing behind the figures shown above.

Flatbed and curtainside transportation

Primary estimate based on the Global Flatbed Trucking market report (WiseGuy) which values flatbed trucking at USD 26.1B (2025) with a 2.9% CAGR. Trailer- and rental-focused reports (MRFR, GrowthMarketReports) show smaller equipment and rental markets (~$7–8B) with lower-to-moderate CAGRs (2.6%–5.8%), used to contextualize equipment vs service sizing.

Oversize and heavy-haul transport

Primary estimate uses The Business Research Company (oversized cargo transportation) which reports a global services market of ~$211.6B (2025) and projects ~5.3% CAGR to 2030. Cross-checked with heavy-haul truck equipment market (~$31.9B, 2024) and US specialized freight revenues (~$72.4B, 2026) to contextualize services vs. equipment within the broader freight trucking market (global ~USD 2.7T in 2025).

Cross-border freight and customs clearance

Estimated North America (U.S./Canada/Mexico) cross-border freight & customs segment by applying the reported global cross-border logistics market size (USD 78.7B, 2024) to the cited North America share (43.65%), yielding ~USD 34.3B. Growth estimate (CAGR ~5.5%) is a midpoint reflection of reported global cross-border logistics CAGR (3.9%) and faster customs-brokerage-specific projections (≈6.4%), given the segment’s mix of transportation and customs services.

Freight visibility and tracking

Used published market reports in the search results. Meticulous Research estimates the logistics/visibility platforms market at USD 3.50B (2026) with a 13.5% CAGR (2026–2036). GrowthMarketReports gives a smaller 2024 base (USD 1.85B) and a higher CAGR (18.7%); variance reflects different segment definitions and forecast windows. I selected the Meticulous Research 3.5B / 13.5% as the conservative, recent estimate for freight visibility and tracking.

Fleet and heavy equipment remarketing

Estimate based on Mordor Intelligence’s used construction equipment market (2026 value USD 132.67B) and the reported dealers/brokers remarketing channel share (53.78% in 2025). Applying that share to the 2026 used-equipment market gives ~USD 71.3B for fleet and heavy equipment remarketing. Growth potential (CAGR) is aligned with Mordor’s used-construction-equipment forecast (5.63% for 2026–2031). Additional cited telematics and fleet-management forecasts (MarketsandMarkets, Credence) indicate faster digital services growth that may support above-market expansion of online remarketing and auction channels, but the primary numeric estimate uses the used-equipment market and dealer/auction channel share from Mordor.
