The 2018 Inc. list is based upon the percentage growth in revenue from 2014 to 2017 for companies with at least $100,000 in revenue in 2014
When Inc. magazine released its list in August of the 5,000 fastest growing businesses since 2014, a majority of the Chattanooga companies on the list were in or serving the trucking industry.
Five of the nine local companies Inc. editors said had the most rapid revenue growth from 2014 to 2017 were either freight brokers, insurers or transportation service companies.
But Chattanooga’s fastest growing freight broker wasn’t on the Inc. list this year because it is still too new.
