Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]

Variable Interest Entities and Joint Ventures

The Company consolidates VIEs and certain joint ventures (“JVs”) because it has the power to direct the activities that significantly affect the VIE’s and JV’s economic performance, including having operational control over each VIE and JV and operating the VIEs under the XPO brand. The VIEs and JVs provide logistics services for their customers. Investors in these entities only have recourse to the assets owned by the entity and not to the Company’s general credit. The Company does not have implicit support arrangements with any VIE.
