What Is Coyote Logistics? Coyote Logistics Services & How They Work

3PL Glossary > Coyote Logistics

All About Coyote Logistics | TLDR

Coyote Logistics was a transportation and logistics provider specializing in third-party logistics (3PL) services such as freight brokerage and transportation management. RXO completed its acquisition of Coyote Logistics from UPS on September 16, 2024, integrating Coyote’s brokerage operations into RXO. Today, the former Coyote business contributes to RXO’s broader network for truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), intermodal, managed transportation, and other freight services across North America.

Coyote Logistics in Detail: Current Status, Pros and Cons

Coyote Logistics built its business around freight brokerage, transportation management, technology, and a large network of independent carriers. Since RXO acquired Coyote in September 2024, those capabilities have been integrated into RXO’s broader transportation platform. RXO now provides shippers with access to approximately 150,000 independent carriers and 1.8 million trucks across North America, along with services such as truckload, LTL, intermodal, expedite, freight forwarding, and managed transportation. In May 2025, RXO announced that Coyote carrier and coverage operations had been migrated to the RXO Connect® platform.

Businesses evaluating the former Coyote operation should now assess RXO’s current service network rather than treating Coyote as a separate 3PL. Capacity and pricing can still vary by lane, freight type, season, market conditions, and carrier availability. Service performance can also depend on the underlying carrier selected for a shipment, so shippers should compare coverage, technology, pricing, account support, and performance requirements against their own transportation needs.

FAQs

How large is Coyote Logistics’ carrier network today?

Coyote Logistics no longer reports a separate carrier network because it is part of RXO. RXO currently provides access to approximately 150,000 independent carriers and 1.8 million trucks across North America, combining capacity from the broader RXO network with the former Coyote operation.

Who owns Coyote Logistics now?

RXO owns Coyote Logistics. RXO completed its acquisition of Coyote from UPS on September 16, 2024, for $1.025 billion. The transaction combined the two brokerage businesses, and Coyote’s carrier and coverage operations were later migrated to the RXO Connect® platform.

Is Coyote Logistics still a standalone company?

No. Coyote Logistics is now part of RXO rather than a standalone UPS-owned business. Shippers researching Coyote should review RXO’s current transportation services, network, technology, and account support. The best fit depends on shipment volume, freight modes, lanes, pricing requirements, service expectations, and whether a business needs transportation brokerage, fulfillment, or a broader combination of logistics services.
