As soon as we realize an efficiency for GM in cost reduction or performance, our managed transportation team is looking toward the next area of optimization.”

“Our suppliers play a key role in delivering the products, services and experiences our customers deserve, and XPO delivered,” said Shilpan Amin, GM vice president, Global Purchasing and Supply Chain. “We also believe it’s important to thank our entire supply base for their efforts to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19.
