ArcBest Corporation ARCB

ARCB Company Overview

ArcBest Corporation is a transportation and logistics company operating primarily in the North American freight and supply chain services industry. The company provides a combination of asset-based less-than-truckload (LTL) freight transportation and asset-light logistics solutions designed to move goods efficiently across regional, national, and cross-border markets. Its services are used by manufacturers, retailers, and industrial customers requiring reliable freight transportation, managed logistics, and expedited shipping solutions.

The company’s core revenue drivers are its LTL freight operations and its asset-light logistics offerings, which include truckload brokerage, expedited freight, and managed transportation. ArcBest is strategically positioned as a hybrid logistics provider, leveraging owned transportation assets alongside third-party capacity to offer flexible solutions. Founded in 1923 as Arkansas Best Freight System, the company evolved from a regional carrier into a diversified logistics provider and rebranded as ArcBest Corporation in 2014 to reflect its broader service portfolio.
