Product
Core LTL Freight Services
As of late 2025 XPO is a pure‑play North American leader in less‑than‑truckload (LTL) freight, handling roughly 28% of U.S. palletized LTL tonnage and generating about $6.1B in 2024 LTL revenue.
The service lets multiple shippers share trailer space, cutting per‑shipment cost by ~35% versus full‑truckload for partial loads and boosting yield via denser load factors.
XPO has refined pallet handling and crossdock flows to target sub‑48 hour regional transit and 72–96 hour long‑haul lanes, supporting a 6.8% year‑over‑year improvement in on‑time performance in 2025.
Premium Guaranteed and Expedited Shipping
XPO offers premium guaranteed and expedited shipping for time-critical B2B shipments, including guaranteed delivery windows and expedited transit for high-value or perishable inventory; these services drove a 6% revenue premium vs standard LTL in 2024 and supported XPO’s expedited segment margin of ~12% in FY2024. Prioritizing these loads across XPO’s network reduces average dwell by 22% and cuts late deliveries to under 1.8% for mission-critical lanes. Customers pay a 15–40% surcharge depending on distance and SLA strictness, making the product a high-margin reliability layer for supply chains requiring strict lead times.
Proprietary XPO Connect Technology Platform
Proprietary XPO Connect is a cloud-based suite that differentiates XPO by giving shippers real-time visibility, automated documentation, and a single interface to track shipments, manage invoices, and analyze data; in 2025 XPO reported platform adoption by ~38% of enterprise customers, cutting invoice dispute time by 42%. The AI-driven route optimization reduced miles by 6.8% and lowered fuel spend across users by ~4.5% in 2024, boosting on-time performance and margin per load.
Cross-Border Logistics Solutions
XPO 4P's Cross-Border Logistics Solutions move freight seamlessly across the US, Canada, and Mexico, supporting North American trade corridors and nearshoring into Mexico; in 2024 XPO reported cross-border volumes up ~12% y/y and reduced average transit handoffs by 35%.
The product bundles customs brokerage, a unified carrier network to remove multiple-carrier complexity, and SLA-backed transit visibility, targeting manufacturers shifting production to Mexico for US demand.

These add-ons reduce damage risk and speed last-mile handling with trained crews and compliant equipment.

Being on strategic gateways lets XPO act as the domestic link for imports, shortening handoff time by ~18 hours on average versus regional peers and increasing asset utilization; international-to-domestic loads contributed roughly $1.1 billion to XPO’s 2024 logistics revenue.
