FIRESIDE CHAT TOPIC: Managing peak season and planning for 2025

Peak season inevitably presents a unique set of challenges for logistics companies. With 2025 just around the corner, forward-thinking planning is essential. During a recent conversation with FreightWaves' Mary O’Connell, Drew Wilkerson, CEO of RXO, shared his insights on navigating these challenges and paving the way for a successful future.

Key Takeaways from Drew Wilkerson

“I’m hearing from customers right now that they do expect rates to go up … somewhere around mid-single digits.”

This projection underscores the importance of strategic pricing and demand forecasting in the logistics industry.

“Customers want to know who’s going to step in and have the service and history of creating solutions for [shippers]. … We are in a good position [to be that provider].”

Wilkerson's confidence highlights RXO’s robust service capabilities and its commitment to fostering strong partnerships with shippers.

“You have to be able to shift, and you have to be agile and have flexibility to move with the market.”

In today’s dynamic market landscape, agility is not just a benefit—it’s a necessity.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety and reliability of commercial motor vehicles on American roads. As part of their oversight, they mandate the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to monitor drivers’ hours of service (HOS) and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

Below, we explore some of the key reasons why an ELD might be revoked and provide a table of current revoked devices.
