Our industry continues to experience tremendous change, with the latest big event being the buyout of struggling Con-way by XPO Logistics Inc, which puts XPO directly in the trucking business in the US.
While it seems like it will be a nice fit for XPO, we believe that it runs counter to today’s trends in the freight industry toward more “asset-light” companies, who will continue to outpace the behemoth asset-based companies in the areas of price competitiveness, tailored freight solutions, and personalized service. Whatever happens going forward, one thing’s for sure…it will continue to be an exciting industry for all of us!
