About ArcBest

ArcBest helps businesses move large amounts of cargo across the world. It uses trucks, ships, and planes to deliver heavy items safely. These services help companies keep their supply chains running smoothly.

Moving Goods in Every Way

  • Asset-Based: Shipping for large items that do not fill an entire truck; accounts for 63% of revenue.
  • Asset-Light: Moving goods by hiring outside carriers and using special equipment; makes up 37% of revenue.
  • Managed Transportation: Digital tools that help companies track and plan their complex shipping needs across different transport modes.
  • Premium Logistics: Time-sensitive and emergency shipping services for high-value cargo through the Panther brand.

Expansion and Strategic Actions

  • Integrated MoLo Solutions to expand truckload brokerage capacity and reach more shipping customers.
  • Acquired Panther Premium Logistics to provide specialized, time-critical shipping and global logistics options.
  • Invested in ABF Freight service centers to modernize the shipping network and improve overall efficiency.
  • Financed $22.1 million in new shipping equipment during the first quarter of 2026 to update the truck fleet.

What Makes ArcBest Different

ArcBest operates a large network of service centers and uses digital tools to quote prices quickly. The company employs its own truck fleet while also hiring outside partners to move freight by land, sea, and air.

A Look at the Numbers

  • Total revenue hit $998.8 million in Q1 2026, a 3.3% increase over the same period in 2025.
  • Operating income fell to $3.4 million in Q1 2026, down 48.3% year-over-year.
  • Net income dropped to a loss of $1.0 million in Q1 2026, worsening 133.1% from a profit in Q1 2025.
  • Free cash flow loss narrowed to $1.2 million in Q1 2026, which was an improvement over Q1 2025.
  • Operating cash flow turned positive at $8.5 million in Q1 2026, up 138.3% from a loss in Q1 2025.

Bottom Line

ArcBest has evolved from a local trucking firm to a global logistics provider using both its own fleet and digital partnerships. This dual approach helps the company handle complex shipping needs for various industries during changing economic cycles.
