What companies are most associated with semi trailers and the trucking industry?
Semi trailers are prevalent on highways throughout the world. Global shipping companies like United Parcel Service and Federal Express depend upon them to transport packages to delivery hubs even when other transportation methods are used. In the United States, commercial cargo carriers, such as J B Hunt, Schneider and Landstar, operate national routes to move goods and materials from manufacturers to consumers across the country. Wal-Mart and other nationwide retailers operate private truck lines to maintain stock levels in stores and to fill warehouses across the country.
