Do you mean the trucking companies or the software developers? The trucking companies aren't small companies by any measure.

Werner Enterprises for example has 13k employees, 8k trucks, and $700M in revenue. And they're a small fry in shipping. JB Hunt has 30K employees and $12B in revenue. Swift Transportation has 22K employees, 23K trucks, and $6B in revenue. Schneider Transportation has 19K employees and revenues of $5.5B.

Many of these companies have in house developers working on custom logistics packages to optimize every single detail of their operations. It's a very small margin business.
