The DB Schenker deal closed in April.\n \t <\/p>\n USA Truck ranks No. 76<\/a> on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in North America<\/a>. It ranks No. 23 among truckload\/dedicated carriers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Van Buren, Ark.-based USA Truck operates more than 2,000 tractors and 6,500 trailers while owning nine service centers and five regional logistics centers, according to a fact sheet on its website.<\/p>\n USA Truck\u2019s business model does not fit DSV\u2019s vision for asset-light North American on-road operations, the company said in a report accompanying the most recent quarter\u2019s results.<\/p>\n DSV, which ranks No. 11<\/a> on the TT Top 100 list of the largest logistics companies in North America<\/a> and No. 14 among global freight carriers<\/a>, said it took a 90 million Danish kroner ($14 million) accounting hit on USA Truck in Q3. DSV reports in Danish Kroner, and conversion rates were correct as of Oct. 23.<\/p>\n \u201cWith the acquisition of Schenker, DSV assumed control over Schenker\u2019s road activities in the U.S. Part of the activities were acquired with the intention of future resale, resulting in a portion of Schenker U.S. road operations being classified as a disposal group held for sale and designated as discontinued operations,\u201d DSV said in the report.<\/p>\n \u201cAs part of the Schenker integration, we are consolidating DSV\u2019s and Schenker\u2019s infrastructure, especially in groupage, to create a dense road network while maintaining our asset-light business model. In addition, we are optimizing our distribution and linehaul capabilities and reducing the number of terminals,\u201d the company added. Groupage is a combination of multiple less-than-truckload shipments.<\/p>\n A timeline for the disposal was not provided.<\/p>\n Schenker ranks No. 26<\/a> on the logistics TT Top 100. Acquiring Schenker made DSV the globe\u2019s largest freight forwarder<\/a>.<\/p>\n Schenker bought USA Truck for $435 million<\/a> in June 2022. USA Truck\u2019s activities are focused east of the Mississippi.<\/p>\n The first DSV earnings report after the acquisition of Schenker gave a hint of what was to come.<\/p>\n McLeod Software CEO Tom McLeod discusses how the company is incorporating AI into trucking software in ways that work for carriers and brokers navigating a challenging freight market.\u00a0Tune in above or by going to RoadSigns.ttnews.com<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSchenker has an operation in the U.S. that is delivering significant losses,\u201d CEO Jens Lund said during DSV\u2019s second-quarter 2025 earnings call July 31. \u201cActually, ever since it\u2019s been acquired, it\u2019s been delivering what can I say, a financial outcome that was a deficit. So, it\u2019s something that we are now establishing a plan [for] and dealing with.\u201d<\/p>\n DSV posted a Q3 profit from continuing operations of 2.16 billion kroner, a 24.1% decrease compared with 2.85 billion kroner in the year-ago period.<\/p>\n That was despite revenue jumping 63.2% to 71.98 billion kroner from 44.1 billion kroner in Q3 2024.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, DSV trimmed the top end of its full-year profit forecast range, citing the impact of tariffs and the macroeconomic outlook.<\/p>\n The Danish company cut its 2025 expectations for earnings before interest, tax and special items to a new range of 19.5 billion kroner to 20.5 billion kroner from 19.5 billion to 21.5 billion kroner previously.<\/p>\n![\"RoadSigns\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/RoadSigns-generic.jpg\"\/)
