Somerset Logistics One of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies — the Inc. 5000

Inc. magazine recently ranked Somerset Logistics as #4287 on their 34th annual 2015 Inc. 5000 list.  The list is an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.  This is the second time Somerset Logistics has appeared in the top 5000 list (2008).  Additionally, Somerset was also named one of the 30 fastest growing companies in Nashville with three-year sales growth of 64%.

“Somerset has excelled by holding true to our core values and principles.

Since day one, Somerset has strived to be professional in all our endeavors

and treat people with respect. We care deeply about our customers, carriers,

and employees. The byproduct of our values and key principles has been growth.”

The Inc. 5000 list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

The 2015 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 18 to September 22) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 490%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $205 billion, generating 647,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident."

Recently, Somerset Logistics also celebrated 15 years of excellence.  We could not have achieved any of these accomplishments without the hard work of every individual on the Somerset team.  Somerset Logistics maintains the highest standards and prides itself as being a transportation provider that you can trust.  Somerset’s integrity, professional service to the customer, and prompt payment to carriers has made us a leader in customer satisfaction.  Somerset always has two customers on every load, one being the shipper, and the other being the carrier.
