The accompanying table presents statistics and the top 10 rated companies in the ETF Innovators [ETFI] Global Trucking & Logistics Index. The trucking & logistics industry has posted strong results over the past year in spite of the weak global economy and has been aided by declining fuel prices, including gains of about 50% for Marten Transport (MRTN) and nearly 10% each for Werner Enterprises (WERN) and C.H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW).
While the Top 10 rated companies posted gains over the past year, some of the laggards in the index such as UTi Worldwide (UTIW) and YRC Worldwide (YRCW) dragged down the average performance of all 44 companies to just in-line with the iShares Dow Transports (IYT) over the past year.
