RXO Launches Comprehensive Middle Mile Solutions, Streamlining Logistics from Dock to Door

Key Terms

reverse logistics technical

Reverse logistics is the process of moving products from customers back to a company for returns, repairs, recycling, or disposal — like the reverse of a delivery route when a returned package comes back to the warehouse. It matters to investors because efficient reverse logistics can cut costs, recover value from returned goods, reduce waste and regulatory risk, and protect brand reputation, all of which affect profitability and long-term cash flow.

transloading technical

Transloading is the process of moving goods from one form of transport to another—for example, from a freight train to a truck—at an intermediate facility instead of shipping everything on a single carrier. Think of it like switching buses during a long trip to reach a destination not served by one route; for investors, transloading matters because it can lower shipping costs, speed delivery, reduce supply disruptions, and influence a company’s inventory and logistics expenses.

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- RXO (NYSE: RXO) a leading provider of asset-light transportation solutions, today announced the launch of Middle Mile Solutions. This new service is designed to create a seamless link in the supply chain, integrating first-, middle-, and last-mile logistics into a single, comprehensive network tailored for shippers seeking efficiency and speed.

RXO’s Middle Mile Solutions bridges the gap between manufacturing facilities and final destinations. By leveraging RXO’s massive network of carriers and national hubs, the new service eliminates the need for multiple vendors, offering shippers a "dock-to-door" solution with a single source of control.

“Supply chains are often fragmented, leaving shippers to manage tedious manual processes and disconnected providers,” said Demetri Venetis, president of freight forwarding at RXO. “With Middle Mile Solutions, we’re closing the loop. We move goods in bulk from suppliers to our centralized hubs, process them, and prepare them for final fulfillment, all within one integrated tech ecosystem. This allows our customers to position their inventory within reach of the vast majority of the U.S. population without any infrastructure investment, shortening distribution time and streamlining their operations.”

Key capabilities of RXO Middle Mile Solutions include:

• Network Optimization: Utilizing pool points and dry vans to move goods efficiently between distribution centers and warehouses.
• Value-Added Services: Beyond transportation, the service includes warehousing, transloading, kitting, assembly, and pick-and-pack capabilities.
• Specialized Delivery: Options for commercial white glove, retail store delivery, and home delivery for big and bulky items.
• Reverse Logistics: A closed-loop network that manages returns, recycling, refurbishment, or disposal, protecting brand value and reducing waste.

Powering this service is RXO’s proprietary tech platform, RXO Connect^®. The platform provides shippers with end-to-end visibility, offering item-level traceability from pickup to delivery. The all-in-one user console features ETA prediction, automated notifications, and weather alerts, allowing businesses to anticipate delays and manage consumer expectations proactively.

“By combining our tech-forward approach with our physical hub network, we can reduce damage rates, cut transit times, and ultimately deliver a superior experience for the end consumer,” Venetis said.
