RXO (NYSE: RXO), a leading provider of asset-light transportation solutions, has invested $2.6 million to expand its office in Ann Arbor, Mich. The company also committed to creating 140 new jobs in Michigan.
Lou Amo, president of truck brokerage for RXO, said, “We’re proud to expand our brokerage presence in Ann Arbor. Our employees help connect shippers with thousands of contract carriers to streamline supply chains. RXO’s facilities in Michigan, including our expanded Ann Arbor office, will play a critical role in supporting our aggressive growth plans.”
RXO’s 18,000-square-foot brokerage office in Ann Arbor can support more than 175 employees in the Domino’s Farms Office Park.
The office features standing workstations and a large employee break area with a shuffleboard table, corn hole, ping pong and space for collaboration.

Minutes from downtown Ann Arbor, the park is also home to 80 bison roaming outside the office.
