Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves5 records

Direct peers

• Freightcom (Madden Media): Freightcom is a Canadian online freight brokerage and 3PL offering LTL, truckload, parcel, and intermodal services with a self-serve online platform. Directly comparable to FBI's non-asset brokerage, Canada-based operations, and technology-led (API/platform) go-to-market.

Broad incumbents

• Transplace / Uber Freight: Uber Freight combines a digital freight marketplace with managed transportation services and a TMS platform. Comparable to FBI's brokerage, Freight$olver managed services, and REST API integration story, and represents the tech-enabled brokerage archetype FBI would be benchmarked against.
• Kuehne + Nagel: Kuehne+Nagel is one of the world's largest freight forwarders and contract logistics providers, with substantial North American operations including cross-border road freight. Comparable to FBI's trade show logistics and cross-border road brokerage offerings, but with a global air/ocean/road portfolio.
• DSV A/S: DSV is a global transport and logistics company with strong road, air, and sea forwarding capabilities and significant North American presence following its Schenker and GIL acquisitions. It is comparable to FBI on cross-border forwarding and contract logistics, but at massive global scale.
• TFI International: TFI International is a Canadian-headquartered transportation and logistics company with LTL, truckload, logistics, and package & courier segments. Like FBI it is Canada-based and serves the cross-border North American freight market, but operates a much larger asset-based network alongside brokerage.
• C.H. Robinson Worldwide: C.H. Robinson is the largest North American non-asset freight broker and 3PL, offering truckload, LTL, intermodal, and cross-border services across the US, Canada, and Mexico. It is directly comparable to FBI's core freight brokerage, managed services, and North American cross-border model, though at vastly greater scale and with global enterprise relationships.
• RXO: RXO is a major North American asset-light freight brokerage spun out from XPO Logistics, offering truck brokerage, managed transportation, last-mile, and supply chain services. Comparable to FBI as a non-asset broker with technology-enabled operations and managed services offerings, but with substantially larger scale and a US-centric footprint.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Flexport is a technology-driven global freight forwarder offering air, ocean, and road forwarding with digital visibility and API integrations. Comparable to FBI on the API/data-integration and customs brokerage dimensions, though Flexport focuses on international ocean/air while FBI is concentrated in North American road and cross-border.

Regional players

• Purolator / Day & Ross (Dayforce Logistics): Purolator, part of the Day & Ross group, is a major Canadian parcel and freight carrier with cross-border US capabilities. It is comparable to FBI on Canadian cross-border trucking and distribution services, though Purolator is asset-based and parcel-focused versus FBI's non-asset brokerage model.
• Loomis Express / TForce Logistics: TForce Freight (formerly Loomis Express / TFI) is a Canadian LTL and logistics provider serving cross-border North American freight. Comparable to FBI's Canadian LTL brokerage and cross-border distribution services, primarily competing in the same regional Canadian market.
