## About

RXO is a publicly traded tech-enabled freight broker spun off from XPO Logistics in November 2022 and headquartered in Charlotte, NC. The company significantly expanded its market position in September 2024 when it acquired Coyote Logistics from UPS — adding Coyote's 100,000-carrier network and shipper relationships to RXO's existing freight brokerage, managed transportation, and last-mile capabilities. RXO now ranks among the top six freight brokers in North America by gross revenue.

The company operates RXO Connect, a digital freight platform enabling shippers to quote, book, and track shipments with real-time carrier visibility. RXO's service breadth goes beyond standard brokerage: it is one of the largest providers of outsourced last-mile delivery for heavy goods (appliances, furniture, fitness equipment), and its managed transportation division offers control tower solutions for shippers managing complex multi-mode supply chains.

For shippers, RXO offers an uncommon combination of traditional brokerage scale, technology investment, and specialized capabilities — particularly in flatbed, heavy haul, expedited, and last-mile delivery. Enterprise shippers with diverse freight needs across modes will find the most value; small-volume shippers may find the platform oriented toward accounts with higher complexity and annual volume.

## Pros & Cons

**What shippers like:**

- Last-mile delivery reviews cite scheduling and communication issues from delivery crews
- Small shippers may not receive priority attention relative to enterprise accounts
- Cross-border Mexico and Canada coverage is available but not a stated core specialty
