How is C.H. Robinson turning things around? CFO Lee has a few ideas

The stock performance of the few 3PLs that are publicly traded tells a stark story in the past 12 months.

RXO (NYSE: RXO), which in its most recent two quarters posted losses, is down about 31% in the past year. Landstar (NASDAQ: LSTR), which has yet to report its first-quarter earnings and is considered mostly a 3PL but with some unique characteristics, is down 25.5% during those 12 months.

C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW), which a little more than a year ago was reported to be one of the most...

First look: RXO recorded operating and net losses  in the first quarter

RXO touted the integration of Coyote Logistics in its first quarter earnings release, with higher synergies now predicted and integration moving forward. 

But the finances at the 3PL were not good. RXO posted an operating loss of $30 million, compared to a $12 million operating loss in the corresponding quarter a year ago and $24 million operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Revenue comparisons year-on-year are not on an equal basis due to the Coyote acquisition, which closed in...

FreightTech companies spotlight new or enhanced products for TCA crowd

PHOENIX – The crowded FreightTech field faces a continuous problem: How does a company make its products stand out when so much of their functionality overlaps with competitors’ offerings?

J.B. Hunt keeps its 11-year-old debt rating from Moody’s

About 11 years after Moody’s first placed a Baa1 rating on J.B. Hunt’s publicly traded debt, the ratings agency this week affirmed that rating.

It’s been a remarkable run of stability for the trucking and intermodal giant (NASDAQ: JBHT). The Baa1 rating – three notches above the dividing line between investment-grade and non-investment-grade debt – dates back to 2014.

Baa1 is equivalent to the BBB rating of S&P Global Ratings. S&P has had a BBB rating on J.B. Hunt since 2012, though last summer...
