On September 9, 2026, RXO, Inc. (NYSE: RXO) issued a press release providing preliminary operating metrics for the third quarter of 2026. The filing details that the company has achieved stronger-than-anticipated quarter-to-date truckload gross profit per load.
The company reported that its truckload gross profit per load increased by more than 10 percent in August when compared to July. This growth was described as better than the outlook provided during the company’s second-quarter earnings conference call. RXO attributes this performance to its ability to capture spot opportunities, which represented approximately 50 percent of its full-truckload volume through the first two months of the quarter.
R XO continues to phase in higher contract rates while leveraging its scale to purchase transportation effectively. Despite ongoing softness in freight demand, the company maintains its expectation that third-quarter truckload volume will increase by a low-to-mid single digit percentage year-over-year.
The press release, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K, notes that results for the quarter are subject to quarter-end closing procedures and may differ materially from final reported results.
