Youngstown business ranks No. 25 on Transport Topics 2026 Top Dedicated Contract Carriers list

Aim Integrated Logistics, a division of Aim Transportation Solutions, has been named No. 25 on the Transport Topics 2026 Top Dedicated Contract Carriers (DCC) list, marking another year of national recognition for the company’s performance, reliability and continued growth in dedicated transportation services.

The annual ranking highlights the largest and most successful dedicated contract carriers in North America, evaluating providers based on fleet size, service capabilities and overall operational strength. Aim Integrated Logistics’ consistent presence on the list is indicative of its long-standing commitment to delivering dependable, customer-focused solutions while maintaining high standards for safety and efficiency.

“For Aim Integrated Logistics to be recognized as a top tier dedicated provider by Transport Topics is incredible recognition that we’re grateful for,” said David Gurska, COO of Aim Integrated Logistics. “When looking at fleet size compared to our competition, we’re comfortable with being in that percentile, that’s what keeps us most efficient today. But, when you talk to our customers, our drivers, our team – we’re in the top 1% when it comes to quality. And that’s the percentile we strive for daily.”

Aim Integrated Logistics has continued to grow its DCC footprint by tailoring solutions to meet evolving shipper needs, investing in equipment and technology and prioritizing driver safety and retention. The company’s ability to adapt in a challenging freight environment has been key to maintaining its competitive position year after year.

“Third-party logistics providers continued to face volatile business conditions last year, from compressed margins amid a grueling freight market downturn to tariff-driven supply chain upheaval,” said Seth Clevenger, Transport Topics’ managing editor of features and multimedia. “Through it all, 3PLs have been proving their value to shippers by helping them adapt to this constantly fluctuating business environment.”

As part of Aim Transportation Solutions, Aim Integrated Logistics leverages a comprehensive suite of services on top of DCC — full-service truck leasing, commercial truck rentals, maintenance and freight brokerage — to provide flexible, scalable transportation solutions across a wide range of industries.

Clevenger said the company’s continued recognition on the Transport Topics list underscores its focus on safety, operational excellence and long-term partnerships with customers throughout the country and across a wide range of industries.
