What the company does

C.H. Robinson is North America's largest freight broker: it owns no trucks; it connects whoever needs cargo moved with thousands of carriers, pocketing the spread. A business of information and scale at war with the digitization threatening the middleman.

What will shape its future

  • The freight cycle: truckload rates and volumes set its spreads.
  • Internal AI automation, its defense to quote and operate cheaper.
  • Digital competition (tech brokers), squeezing the middleman's margin.
