In this Talking Transports podcast, CFODamon Lee joinsBloomberg Intelligence’sLee Klaskow to discuss the $5.8 billion deal and says limited customer overlap could turn expected revenue dis-synergies into gains. The company plans to apply automation to RXO’s back office, and believes its pricing capabilities can lift gross margins. C.H. Robinson’s Lee also discusses why the Montgomery ruling can accelerate a flight to large brokers, AI that cut transactional quote times to 31 seconds from 17-20 minutes, faster contract repricing, leverage, M&A and the company’s roughly 2,000-trailer drop fleet.
