Trucking & Courier Services (No Air)

Trucking & Courier Services (No Air) under SIC 4210 cover long-haul truckload, less-than-truckload, refrigerated freight, bulk, parcel, and last-mile delivery for manufacturers, retailers, e-commerce platforms, healthcare systems, and auto suppliers. Operators sell reliable capacity, network reach, temperature control, time-definite ground shipping, and tracking visibility. Major risks include fuel-price volatility, driver recruitment and retention pressures, insurance and cargo liability, congestion, and compliance with FMCSA Hours-of-Service, DOT safety audits, and tightening emissions rules pushing cleaner fleets. In 2024-2025, the sector navigates softer freight volumes with pricing discipline, renewed inventory restocking, nearshoring-driven cross-border lanes, infrastructure-funded construction freight, growing adoption of electric trucks where incentives allow, and broader use of telematics, AI routing, and digital freight matching to raise asset utilization. Customers increasingly demand carbon reporting and guaranteed delivery windows, rewarding carriers with strong service metrics.
