Via ETF Innovators, LLP:

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.
