Types of 3PLs
There are three types of third party logistics providers:
1. Asset Based – 3PL companies that use their own trucks,
warehouses and personnel to operate the client’s business
2. Management Based – 3PL companies that provide the
technological and managerial functions to operate the logistics
functions of their clients, but do so using the assets of other
companies and do not necessarily own any assets
3. Integrated Providers – 3PL companies that can either be asset
based or management based that supplement their services with
whatever services are needed by their clients

Inland Water
Shippers continue to increase use of 3PL outsourced services
Demand for transactional / operational logistics services greater
than demand for strategic management value-added services
3PL industry revenue will continue to grow at a 10%+ rate per
year, almost 5 times the growth rate of US GDP
International logistics management is largest growth sector
Joint gainsharing contracts have not taken hold
Typically, 3PLs rank its relationship with shippers higher than the
reverse but the gap is closing
A significant logistics talent gap exists for both 3PLs and shippers
4PLs (integrate resources / capabilities / technology) in demand
Strategically, nearshoring is growing opportunity for 3PL services
