Evaluating potential 3PL partners is not easy.
Finding the perfect fit goes beyond size and market share.
It’s also about comparing the intangibles–like specialization and standards.
Below are two lists of the biggest 3PL companies–in the U.S. and globally.
We’ll give you a complete overview of the current market–from gross logistics revenue to scope of services, geo coverage, specialties, number of employees, warehouses, offices, and more.
The goal is singular–to make your decision(s) easier.
Both lists below use Armstrong & Associates’ 2026 rankings, which rank 3PLs by 2025 gross logistics revenue — the most recent full-year data available.

The industry-standard ranking comes from Armstrong & Associates, which ranks 3PLs by gross logistics revenue across all four 3PL segments (domestic and international transportation management, dedicated contract carriage, and value-added warehousing and distribution). Size alone doesn’t determine fit — geographic presence, warehouse count, employees, and service scope matter just as much when choosing a partner.
