C.H. Robinson relaunches monthly Freight Market Update as the Edge Report

Revamp brings even more critical logistics data and expert advice on what’s new, what’s next and what to do about it

August 7, 2025 | Press Release

EDEN PRAIRIE, Aug. 7, 2025 – The most-read market report in the logistics business just got even better. Today, the C.H. Robinson Freight Market Update was relaunched as the C.H. Robinson Edge Report, giving companies and decision-makers the edge they need in a fast-changing world economy where supply chains can make or break business success.

The monthly Freight Market Update already held a pivotal position in the industry. Coming from the market leader in logistics, it’s an indispensable guide to the industry with all the can’t-miss information decision-makers need to stay ahead of global market conditions and plan for future success.

Now, the upgraded Edge Report is set to be an even more essential resource for logistics leaders.

“I can’t wait to see it,” said Brett Jeseritz, Director, Customer Service & Transportation for meat snack maker Jack Link’s. “The C.H. Robinson Freight Market Update saves me a huge amount of time by putting all the big things to know in one place and lessening information overload. It is my first go-to resource to know what’s happening and what I should do about it. I was already a fan, and now I’ll be an even bigger fan.”

By the numbers

As of today, the C.H. Robinson report is:

  • Read by 14,000 logistics leaders per month
  • No. 1 in logistics content referred to by AI
  • 3-10 times bigger in organic traffic than market reports from others in the industry

In a 2025 C.H. Robinson customer research survey, shippers identified uncertainty in forecasting and geopolitical, economic and physical disruptions as two of the most significant supply chain risks—precisely the points addressed by the new C.H. Robinson Edge Report.

“In today’s economy, any day can bring a disruption,” said Michael Castagnetto, president of North American Surface Transportation at C.H. Robinson. “Because of our global scale, we can see issues before anybody else. With the Edge Report, we want to do even more to share that advantage and critical knowledge with our audience of industry leaders. We want them to know what’s coming and what to do about it.”

What’s new

The upgraded C.H. Robinson Edge Report makes it even easier for readers to find the insights they need:

  • Insights at-a-glance and executive summaries to make crucial information easy to digest and act upon.
  • The “so-what” from C.H. Robinson experts to give shippers the big picture and help them plan for the longer term. Look for actionable takeaways.
  • More data, graphs and visuals to convey the forward-looking insights only C.H. Robinson brings.
  • Downloadable slides to make it easier for readers to share elements of the report with their executives and internal stakeholders.

Delivering on its promise of mission-critical information, the C.H. Robinson Edge Report launched including the company’s 2026 U.S. spot market forecast for trucking, giving logistics leaders a sneak peek into next year.

“The C.H. Robinson Edge Report is a key tool for supply chain decision-makers looking for more control and fewer surprises in an evolving market,” said President of Global Forwarding Mike Short. “Combining our data advantage, our global network and our deep human expertise, it delivers the most authoritative information in the business, in its most actionable form to give shippers the edge they need.”
