GXO sees stable North American freight demand, cautious on volumes in 2026
GXO is reporting that freight demand in North America is staying stable, but the company is also signaling a more careful outlook for freight volumes heading into 2026.
For drivers, that combination usually translates into a market that’s holding its ground today, while big shippers and logistics providers remain hesitant about how much freight will actually move next year.
GXO’s comments matter because the company is a major logistics operator tied closely to retail and consumer supply chains. What it’s seeing can be a useful read on how steady — or uneven — freight activity may feel across warehouses, distribution networks, and the lanes that support them.
The key takeaway is straightforward: current demand isn’t showing major signs of weakening, but the company is not projecting a strong ramp-up in volumes for 2026.
