Landstar System said it reached a key milestone in the fourth quarter of 2017 with revenue topping $1 billion for the first time and earning record profits from its asset-light trucking and freight brokerage operations.

ArcBest Corp. ended the year with a strong fourth quarter because of better less-than-truckload pricing and lower expenses than one year ago.

YRC Worldwide CEO James Welch was hopeful three months ago that the third quarter would be in line with the second quarter, but that was before two hurricanes wreaked havoc in Texas and Florida.

XPO Logistics reported profits skyrocketed 316% year-over-year in the third quarter, marking the eighth consecutive quarter in which the company surpassed year-ago levels.

Trailer maker Wabash National Corp. reported net income and revenue dropped in the third quarter compared with the company’s record-setting third quarter in 2016.
