TRUCKING COMPANIES

The Less-than-truckload division of United Parcel Service of North America , the company with the easily recognisable brown vehicles score highly in terms of trucking . The acquisition of Overnite Transportation and its subsidiary for $ 1.25 billion in 2005 goes to show UPS will remain a global player in the trucking industry .

A real European heavyweight of the transport service companies , Danish born DSV was always going to make the upper echelons of our list with sales of over $ 8 billion . Although it also has DSV Air and Sea , and DSV Solutions , the road division is no shrinking violet ; it has over 10,000 employees overseeing 17,000 trucks that deliver to 34 different European countries .
