Video: Interview With Brad Jacobs of XPO Logistics
"Whether it's a retailer, or a manufacturer, or some other type of business, it's not their core competency to manage their goods and supply chainÌý— that's not what they do for a living. They maybe have a small division that does that. Whereas 3PLs, like XPO Logistics and like some of our great competitors, this is what we do for a living. This what we have experts in. We have people who have been doing it for decades. This is a real core competency of ours, and it makes sense for people to outsource their logistics, in my opinion." — Brad Jacobs, CEO of XPO Logistics, on why he expects to see more outsourcing of transportation services by shippers.
A snippet of Jacobs' interview with Dan Bearth was included in our LiveOnWeb Top 50 Logistics Companies livestream program April 14. Watch the full interview with Jacobs above.
