Robinson are also focusing on owner-operators and small carriers.

"About 1.9 million are in that SMB space, customers that do less than $10 million worth of revenue.""Our third app downloads report shows rising momentum in the share of downloads for the two largest brokers C.H. Robinson and TQL," UBS analysts wrote.
