Topic: CH Robinson taking their time on naming a new CEO

1. Why so cautious?

2. There were rumors that there was a strong frontrunner for the job, yet no announcement has been made - any indication that the frontrunner didn’t want the job?

3. What kind of pressure should the new CEO expect given that Rob Biesterfeld was “involuntarily terminated by the company” (quoted from release of firing)

4. Are they looking at combining the CEO and President positions or is that off of the table with how they want to handle this hire?

Topic: Update on UPS/Teamsters labor situation

1. Satish Jindal predicts that this deal will get done a month before the deadline - why the ambitious call now?

2. We had you on a couple of weeks ago and not much had happened to that point other than both sides trying to look tough - any changes in that situation since then?
