Which employers count as transportation and logistics here?
Air, rail, water, truck and pipeline transportation, couriers and warehousing (codes 481000 to 493999). Sponsors here include American Airlines, BNSF and UPS.
The code is the IRS principal business activity code the sponsor itself puts on Form 5500, line 2d. Medians count only plans whose Schedule H shows a positive plan-paid administrative expense (1,843 of 1,926 plans here). Plan-paid expenses exclude fund expense ratios and employer-paid bills, so every figure is a floor, not the all-in cost. Latest filing in this group received by the DOL July 24, 2026; source dataset last refreshed July 28, 2026. Full methodology
