ArcBest Reports Operational Improvements in Q2 Amid Recovery Efforts
ArcBest (NASDAQ: ARCB) reported operational improvements across both its asset-based and logistics segments during the second quarter of 2026. The company's asset-based unit, which includes ABF Freight, saw a 10% year-over-year revenue increase to $784 million driven by higher shipment weights despite a decline in shipments. Tonnage growth remained steady throughout April through June and accelerated further into July as truckload (TL) freight demand returned. The asset-light segment also showed strong performance with a 28% y/y revenue rise, reaching $439 million, supported by increased daily shipments and higher revenue per shipment. The company exceeded its guidance for adjusted operating income in this division and raised expectations for the third quarter to between $6 million and $8 million. ArcBest also announced cost-cutting measures including a 2% workforce reduction and closure of 10 LTL terminals as part of brand restructuring efforts.
