FWF makes the Inc. 5000 list for seventh year

The business magazine Inc. reports that Fifth Wheel Freight (FWF) ranks No. 2260 on its 2023 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

FWF, a third-party logistics and transportation company headquartered in Grand Rapids, Mich., has maintained its growth as a fast-growing private company since 2017, increasing its ranking from last year's spot (No. 2476) with three-year revenue growth of 244%, according to a news release.

"This award is a testament to our entire team,” FWF President Josh Brawley said in the release. “The hard work, tenacity and dedication that is needed to be on this list is one our team embodies every day. We are looking forward to continuing forming connections that move teammates upward, communities forward and impact onward."

Award recipients represent companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital and ongoing hiring challenges, the release said.

“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” Inc. Editor-in-Chief Scott Omelianuk said in the release. “To make the Inc. 5000 — with the fast growth that requires — is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
