Carrier Market (Trucks/Trucking Companies)
‒ Approximately 3 million drivers in U.S., ~80% work for company with <10 trucks
‒ Top 10 truckload (TL) carriers represent 5% of U.S. market
‒ Shortage of drivers makes Echo’s network of carriers more valuable
Brokerage Market
‒ Only a handful of players of meaningful scale
‒ Industry customer service levels improving, but there is large opportunity to differentiate for companies that execute effectively
‒ Remains highly fragmented with hundreds of small brokers
