What are Xpo Inc's Business Segments?



Transportation
Our Transportation segment provides transportation brokerage services to large multi-national, medium-sized and small business customers where the Company manages all aspects of the services offered including selecting qualified carriers/vessels, negotiating rates, tracking shipments, billing and resolving disputes. Transportation offers a comprehensive suite of services with the common goal of facilitating the movement of goods using proprietary transportation management technology and third-party carriers. Transportation includes our truck brokerage, intermodal, last mile, expedited transportation and freight forwarding operations.

Truck Brokerage
Our XPO Logistics truck brokerage business is a non-asset business that places shippers’ freight with qualified carriers, primarily trucking companies. This freight is typically classified as truckload (“TL”) or less than-truckload (“LTL”) shipments. Customers offer loads to us via telephone, fax, email, electronic data interchange and the Internet on a daily basis. The majority of these services are priced on a transactional or spot market basis for both customers and carriers. In some cases, we contractually agree to handle a significant portion of a customer’s freight at pre-determined rates for specific origin and destination parameters. We collect payments from our customers and pay the carriers for transporting customer loads.

Intermodal
Our XPO Logistics intermodal business is asset-light; it provides container capacity, rail brokerage, local drayage (also called cartage), on-site operational services and door-to-door shipment management. We contract with railroads to provide the long-haul portion of the shipment of freight in containers, and we contract with trucking companies for the local pick-up and delivery legs of the intermodal freight movement. We also provide customized electronic tracking and analysis of market prices and negotiated rail, truck and intermodal rates, in order to determine the optimal transportation routes.

Last Mile
Our XPO Last Mile business is a leading non-asset provider of last mile logistics in North America and the largest facilitator of last mile deliveries for heavy goods. Last mile delivery comprises the final stage of the delivery from a local distribution center or retail store to the end-consumer’s home or business. This is a fast growing sector of transportation logistics that serves blue chip retailers, e-commerce companies and smaller retailers with limited in-house trucking capabilities.
Important aspects of last mile service are responsiveness to seasonal demand, economies of scale, and an ability to maintain a consistently high quality of customer experience. In addition, the last mile process often requires incremental services, including pre-scheduled delivery times, unpacking, assembly, utility connection, installation or removal of an old product. These additional services are commonly referred to as white-glove services. We use our proprietary technology platforms to collect customer feedback, monitor carrier performance, manage capacity and communicate during narrow windows of service to ensure an end-consumer experience that protects the brand equity of our customers.

Expedited Transportation
Our expedited transportation group is predominantly a non-asset based service provider—substantially all of the transportation equipment used in its operations is provided by independent owner-operators who own one piece of equipment, or by independent owners of multiple pieces of equipment who employ multiple drivers, commonly referred to as fleet owners. We are focused on developing strong, long-term relationships with these fleet owners and incentivizing them to furnish their capacity to us on an exclusive basis.
Our expedited transportation group operates as XPO Express, XPO NLM and XPO Air Charter, and is the largest manager of expedited shipments in North America. Expedited transportation services can be characterized as time-critical, time-sensitive or high priority freight shipments, many of which have special handling needs. These urgent needs typically arise due to tight supply chain tolerances, interruptions or changes in the supply chain or the failure of another mode of transportation within the supply chain.
Expedited shipments are predominantly direct transit movements offering door-to-door service within tightly prescribed time parameters. Customers request our services typically on a per-load transaction basis, with only a small percentage of loads being scheduled for future delivery dates. We operate an ISO 9001:2008 certified 24-hour, seven-day-a-week call center that gives our customers on-demand communications and status updates relating to their shipments.

 

Freight Forwarding
Our XPO Global Logistics freight forwarding business operates as a non-asset based logistics provider for domestic and international shipments. We provide time-critical, time-sensitive and cost-sensitive services for global freight movements, domestic U.S. and cross-border North America movements, as well as value-added and customized services such as asset retrieval.

XPO Global Logistics provides its services through a network of relationships with ground, air and ocean carriers and a network of Company-owned and agent-owned locations. Our freight forwarding capabilities are not restricted by size, weight, mode or location, and therefore are potentially attractive to a wide market base.
Our subsidiary, Ocean World Lines, Inc. (“OWL”), operates as a non-vessel operating common carrier (“NVOCC”) and transports our customers’ freight by contracting with the actual vessel operator. We consolidate the freight bound for a particular destination from a common shipping point, prepare required shipping documents, arrange for any inland transportation, deliver the freight to the vessel operator and arrange transportation to the final destination. At the destination port, acting directly or through our agent, we deliver the freight to the receivers of the goods, which may include customs clearance and inland freight transportation to the final destination.


As a customs broker, we are licensed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service to act on behalf of importers in handling customs formalities and other details critical to the importation of goods. We prepare and file formal documentation required for clearance through customs agencies, obtain customs bonds, facilitate the payment of import duties on behalf of the importer, arrange for the payment of collect freight charges, assist with determining and obtaining the best commodity classifications for shipments and assist with qualifying for duty drawback refunds. We provide customs brokerage services to direct domestic importers in connection with many of the shipments that we handle as an NVOCC, as well as shipments arranged by other freight forwarders, NVOCCs or vessel operating common carriers.

Logistics
On September 2, 2014, the Company acquired New Breed Holding Company (“New Breed”), a preeminent U.S. provider of asset-light based, complex, technology-enabled contract logistics for large multi-national and medium-sized corporations and government agencies.
New Breed’s customers primarily operate in industries with high-growth outsourcing opportunities, such as technology, telecom, e-commerce, aerospace and defense, medical equipment and select areas of manufacturing. These customers have demanding requirements for quality standards, real-time data visibility, customer service, handling of high-value products, high transaction volumes with large numbers of SKUs, and/or time-assured deliveries.

With our acquisition of New Breed, we design, implement, operate and optimize mission-critical outsourced supply chains for leading corporations. Through New Breed’s supply chain technology and operational expertise, we offer services solving complex supply chain challenges and create and implement transformative solutions for customers, while reducing their operating costs and inventory levels and improving their customer service. We believe that the combination of New Breed’s information technology (“IT”) workforce with our own—resulting in over 600 dedicated IT professionals focused on customer-facing innovations—advances our competitive advantage across all our lines of business.
