The freight industry, which encompasses land, sea, and air shipping, as well as logistics, can be tricky for investors to master. Its various sectors experience cyclical success, and they don't always move in tandem. For example, an oversupply of vessels alongside falling transport prices -- as measured by the Baltic Dry Index -- have hammered ocean-freight companies over the last three years. In the meantime, trucking, rail, and air-freight companies have seen stock-price improvements that have roughly tracked the broader-market's gains.
Dividend-hungry investors can mitigate a bit of risk and gain broad exposure to the freight industry by beginning with these three best-in-breed, core-holding stocks: FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX), Union Pacific Corporation (NYSE: UNP), and Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODFL).
