freightquote.com

Gross Revenue: 2003: $66,500,000 2000: $15,700,000 Growth: 323.567% Full-time employees: 282

Yet another company returning to the Top 10 from last year is freightquote.com, an innovative dotcom company that offers unique supply chain tools that link all the parties involved in producing and distributing a given product. Throw in expanding product lines and services, couple that with a few significant new alliances, and you have the essence of freightquote.com's spiraling growth. This successful formula has in turn lead to an increasing staff size that in turn helps grow the bottom line. It's this positive cycling that looks to keep freightquote.com as an industry and area leader for many years to come.
