Description This research studies third party logistics (3PL) providers in the United States to investigate how the industry has strategically developed its service offerings in response to the customers’ growing needs in managing global supply chains. Logistics management has significant impacts on various aspects of supply chains such as response time, total supply chain cost, sourcing risk, customer service, security, etc. The results show that 3PL services vary based on industry served, region served, and asset ownership structure. Over the years logistics services providers have served more industry sectors, became asset light, and provided broader services. Two of the five service categories, technology services and special services, have been evolved and expanded rapidly. The development has strengthened the capabilities of the logistics service providers and sustained the growth of the industry.DOI:10.12660/joscmv8n2p23-35URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv8n2p23-35
