C.H. Robinson

Overview

C.H. Robinson Worldwide, headquartered in Eden Prairie, Minnesota and listed on Nasdaq (CHRW), is a large asset-light 3PL. It traces its origins to fresh-produce sourcing in 1905^[7]. Revenue was US$16.23 billion in 2025, down from US$17.72 billion in 2024^[18].

The company says it works with 75,000 customers and 450,000 contract carriers, handles 37 million shipments a year and has US$23 billion of freight under management^[8]. Its North American Surface Transportation business covers truckload, less-than-truckload, intermodal and domestic air in the US, Canada and Mexico; Global Forwarding offers ocean, air and customs brokerage; and Managed Solutions, part of its supply-chain management offer, runs transportation for shippers that outsource the function^[8]. The company also operates owned or leased warehouses providing warehousing and distribution as part of its logistics services^[7].

C.H. Robinson’s strengths are carrier capacity and technology, including generative and agentic AI tools it has developed for freight operations^[7]. It is a transport-first 3PL rather than a contract-warehousing operator, and its revenue is sensitive to freight-rate cycles.
