XPO Logistics announced that it cut about 160 non-sales positions have been eliminated as the company continues to migrate to a more efficient less-than-truckload (LTL) organization. Most of the reductions were in administrative, management and back office functions, and affected less than 1% of the LTL workforce in North America. Another 30 positions were eliminated in other parts of the company, primarily to address redundancies created by the acquisition of the LTL business acquired from Con-way Inc. (CNW).

Collectively, the actions are expected to reduce annual costs by more than $20 million against a targeted operating profit improvement of $170 million to $210 million over two years.
