The United States logistics industry is the largest addressable market in its category globally, generating roughly $1.6 trillion in annual revenue across the fifty states. US logistics runs on a mix of legacy giants (UPS, FedEx) and fast-scaling 3PLs, anchored by Memphis and Louisville for parcel, LA/Long Beach for ocean import, and Chicago/DFW for LTL and rail. Consolidation runs alongside a long tail of regional and specialty operators — every state carries active players plus a mid-market layer that rarely appears in a single register.
For B2B sales and research teams — SaaS platforms, enterprise vendors, distributors, staffing agencies, market-research firms — the addressable universe is enormous but scattered across state registrations, industry associations, and public disclosures. Our verified US logistics directory consolidates the discoverable operators into a single CSV kept fresh against DOT + FMCSA + Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) + Federal Maritime Commission disclosures and industry-body updates. Buyers often pair this dataset with our US E-commerce, US Wholesale & Distribution and US Automotive catalogs when building multi-vertical outreach.

Pricing in United States
Licensing & pricing
US logistics datasets are priced dynamically by row count from our country pricing table. The Regular license covers the immediately downloadable slice — typically 45–50% of the full record set — and is the most economical entry point for territory pilots. The Extended license unlocks every verified record and permits internal redistribution across your team. Both formats ship as CSV or Excel with 95%+ verified fields (name, address, city, state, ZIP, phone, website; GPS on Extended). Refresh cadence is monthly for headline datasets and quarterly for long-tail sub-verticals.
