R DOLLAR-VOLUME GROWTH

Rapid, sustained growth is hard for any company, and it can be especially challenging when a business has already grown its revenue to a high level.
To recognize the companies that have massive growth in revenue — even if the percentage growth is smaller — we are honoring the First Coast's Top
10 Dollar Volume Growth companies. Many of these winners have been Fast 50 winners over the years, including four companies — Dream Finders
Homes, The HCI Group, Momentum Transportation and Magellan Transport Logistics — who are receiving the honor this year. The other companies
with massive growth are Brightway Insurance, Firehouse Subs, Miller Electric Co., RS&H Inc., LandSouth Construction and Trailer Bridge.
