Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | 1. Organization Nature of Operations GXO Logistics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (“GXO” or the “Company”), is the largest pure-play contract logistics provider in the world and the foremost innovator in the logistics industry. The Company provides its customers with high-value-add warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, e-commerce, reverse logistics and other supply chain services differentiated by its ability to deliver technology-enabled, customized solutions at scale. The Company serves a broad range of customers across a range of industries, such as e-commerce, omnichannel retail, technology and consumer electronics, food and beverage, industrial and manufacturing, and consumer packaged goods, among others. The Company presents its operations in the consolidated financial statements as one reportable segment. On August 2, 2021, the Company completed the separation (the “Separation”) from XPO, Inc. (“XPO”). The Separation was accomplished by the distribution of 100 % of the outstanding common stock of GXO to XPO stockholders as of the close of business on July 23, 2021, the record date for the distribution. XPO stockholders received one share of GXO common stock for every share of XPO common stock held at the close of business on the record date. On August 2, 2021, GXO became a standalone publicly-traded company and regular-way trading of GXO’s common stock commenced on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GXO.” GXO was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in February 2021. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | 2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO (the “historical financial statements”). On August 2, 2021, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements post-Separation are prepared on a consolidated basis. The combined consolidated financial statements for all periods presented prior to the Separation are now also referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements” and have been prepared under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by XPO and were reflected on a historical cost basis. In connection with the Separation, the Company’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company on a carry-over basis. Prior to the Separation, the historical results of operations included allocations of XPO costs and expenses including XPO’s corporate function which incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, human resources, accounting, sales and sales operations, procurement, executive services, legal, corporate finance and communications. An allocation of these expenses is included to burden all business units comprising XPO’s historical results of operations, including GXO. The charges reflected have been either specifically identified or allocated using drivers including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which includes adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments, or headcount. The majority of these allocated costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GXO Logistics, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, loss contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangible assets and their associated estimated useful lives, collectability of accounts receivable and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results may vary from those estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the logistics business, and adversely impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The business and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made calculating estimates and assumptions more difficult. Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdraft positions occur when total outstanding issued checks exceed available cash balances at a single financial institution. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the contractual amount and records an allowance for doubtful accounts for the amount it estimates it may not collect. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality and risk of its customers, any specific customer collection issues, current economic conditions and other factors that may impact its customers’ ability to pay. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible. The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 13 $ 18 $ 20 Provisions charged to expense 5 4 8 Write-offs, less recoveries, and other adjustments (6) (9) (10) Ending balance $ 12 $ 13 $ 18 Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets recorded under finance leases, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, in the case of acquired property and equipment, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred. For computer software developed, all costs incurred during the planning and evaluation stages are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Land and assets held within construction in progress are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are described below: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or term of lease Technology and automated systems 3 to 15 years Warehouse equipment and other 3 to 15 years Computer, software and equipment 1 to 5 years Lease Obligations The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate, warehouse equipment, material handling equipment, trucks, trailers, and containers and finance leases for equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. For most of the Company’s leases, the implicit rate cannot be readily determined and, as a result, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates at commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. For leases that include fixed rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs as a single lease component in the measurement of the lease asset and liability. The Company excludes variable lease payments (such as payments based on an index) from its initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease agreements may contain rent escalation clauses, renewal or termination options, rent holidays or certain landlord incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Amounts received from a landlord are included as a reduction to the lease asset and are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Segment Reporting The Company is comprised of three operating segments based on the operating results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and the performance of the business. These three operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting segment. Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has three reporting units: i) Americas and Asia-Pacific; ii) United Kingdom and Ireland and iii) Continental Europe. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. As a result of the change in our operating segments and reporting units, we elected to change our annual goodwill impairment test date from August 31 to November 1 to align with the Company’s budgeting process. We performed an annual goodwill impairment test on August 31, 2022 and on November 1, 2022. For changes in reporting units, we reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful life using patterns that reflect the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Impairment of Long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. Insurance liabilities The Company participates in a combination of self-insurance programs and purchased insurance to provide for the costs of medical, casualty, property, general liability, vehicular, cargo, cyber-attacks and workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates insurance liabilities using several factors, primarily based on independent third-party actuary determined amounts, historical claims experience, estimates of incurred but not reported claims, demographic and severity factors. Liabilities for the risks the Company retains, including estimates of claims incurred but not reported, are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical cost experience, demographic and severity factors, and judgments about current and expected levels of cost per claim and retention levels. Changes in these assumptions and factors can impact actual costs paid to settle the claims and those amounts may be different than estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by providing supply chain services for its customers, including warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory and aftermarket support, and inventory management ranging from a few months to a few years. Generally, the Company’s contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more services, including but not limited to facility and equipment costs, construction, repair and maintenance services and labor. For these contracts, the Company does not consider the services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in its contracts, which is a series of distinct services that remain substantially the same over time and possess the same pattern of transfer. Revenue is recognized using the series guidance over the period in which services are provided under the terms of the Company’s contractual relationships with its customers. The transaction price is based on the amount specified in the contract with the customer and contains fixed and variable consideration. In general, the fixed consideration in a contract represents reimbursement for facility, technology and equipment costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement based on the costs incurred, per-unit pricing is determined based on units provided, and time and materials pricing is based on the hours of services provided. The variable consideration component is recognized over time based on the level of activity. Generally, pricing can be adjusted based on contractual provisions related to achieving agreed-upon performance metrics, changes in volumes, services and market conditions. Revenue relating to these pricing adjustments is estimated and included in the consideration if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. The estimate of variable consideration is determined by the expected value or most likely amount method and factors in current, past and forecasted experience with the customer. Customers are billed based on terms specified in the revenue contract and they pay us according to approved payment terms. Contract Assets Contract assets consist of two components, customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract. The Company capitalizes direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain and to fulfill a contract in advance of revenue recognition, such as certain labor, third-party service and related product costs. These costs are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them. Contract fulfillment costs are recognized consistent with the transfer of the underlying performance obligations to the customer based on the specific contracts to which they relate. Contract assets are primarily amortized to Direct operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the contract term. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer. Derivative Instruments The Company records all its derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the year in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of. To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject us to increased earnings volatility. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the equity instrument’s grant date fair value. Stock compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line method, based on the grant date fair value, over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. For grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to service-based or performance-based vesting conditions only, the Company establishes the fair value based on the market price on the date of the grant. For grants of RSUs subject to market-based vesting conditions (“PRSUs”) and stock options, the Company determines the fair value based on its stock price and a number of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Defined Benefit Plan The Company calculates its employer-sponsored retirement plan obligations using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. Assumptions include discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets represent the Company’s best estimates based on available information regarding historical experience and factors that may cause future expectations to differ. The Company’s obligation and future expense amounts could be materially impacted by differences in experience or changes in assumptions. The impact of plan amendments, actuarial gains and losses and prior-service costs are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are generally amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active employees covered by the defined benefit pension plans. Cumulative gains and losses over 10% of the greater of the beginning of year benefit obligation or fair value of the plan assets are amortized over the expected average life expectancy. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis, under which the Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The calculation of the annual effective tax rate relies on several factors including pre-tax earnings, various jurisdiction statutory tax rates, tax credits, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and differences between tax laws and accounting laws. The effective tax rate in any financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the blend and/or level of earnings by individual taxing jurisdictions. If the Company considers that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position, presuming an examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information, the Company recognizes all or a portion of the benefit. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available evidence. The Company uses judgments and estimates in evaluating its tax positions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and local, foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if based on the technical merits of the position it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon audit. The Company adjusts these tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, based on the current facts and circumstances. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use their local currency as their functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars (“USD”) using the exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date, with balance sheet currency translation adjustments recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company converts foreign currency transactions recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to USD by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and the effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for any of the years presented. Adoption of New Accounting Standards In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the guidance. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” to expand the scope of this guidance to include derivatives. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the sunset date of Topic 848” which defers the expiration date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 until December 31, 2024. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | 4. Acquisitions Clipper Acquisition On May 24, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of Clipper Logistics plc (“Clipper”), an omnichannel retail logistics specialist based in Leeds, England (the “Clipper Acquisition”). The Company acquired Clipper for $1,106 million, consisting of $902 million in cash and the issuance of 3,757,657 shares of GXO common stock having a value of $204 million. The Clipper Acquisition was subject to review by the CMA. On October 4, 2022, the CMA approved the Clipper Acquisition. The Company incurred acquisition and integration costs related to the Clipper Acquisition of $46 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. These costs are included within Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with the Clipper Acquisition, (i) the Company and Clipper entered into a Cooperation Agreement; (ii) the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan; (iii) the Company entered into a Five-Year Term Loan; and (iv) the Company terminated its Bridge Term Loan. For additional information regarding the financing agreements entered into in connection with the Clipper Acquisition, see Note 9. Debt and Financing Arrangements. The Company included Clipper’s results of operations from the date of acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded $569 million and $4 million of revenue and income before income taxes, respectively. The Company accounted for the Clipper Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was based on management’s estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date: (In millions) ASSETS Current assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 26 Accounts receivable 146 Other current assets 67 Total current assets 239 Long-term assets Property and equipment 80 Operating lease assets 233 Intangible assets (1) 392 Other long-term assets 15 Total long-term assets 720 Total assets $ 959 LIABILITIES Current liabilities Accounts payable $ 84 Accrued expenses 96 Short-term borrowings and obligations under finance leases 56 Current operating lease liabilities 50 Other current liabilities 49 Total current liabilities 335 Long-term liabilities Long-term debt and obligations under finance leases 10 Long-term operating lease liabilities 183 Other long-term liabilities 121 Total long-term liabilities 314 Total liabilities $ 649 Net assets purchased $ 310 Cash paid $ 902 Common stock issued (2) 204 Purchase price paid $ 1,106 Goodwill recorded (3) $ 796 (1) The Company acquired $392 million of intangible assets comprised of customer relationships and trade names, with weighted-average useful lives of 15 years. (2) Represents the fair value of the Company’s common stock issued. (3) Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Goodwill acquired was recorded in the United Kingdom and Ireland reporting unit and was primarily attributed to anticipated synergies. The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained and reviewed. The final allocation of the purchase price may differ from the preliminary allocation based on completion of the valuation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to lease assets and liabilities, certain long term liabilities, income taxes and goodwill. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the Company’s results of operations as if the Clipper Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2021. The pro forma results reflect the impact of incremental interest expense, net of hedging instruments, to finance the acquisition and amortization expenses on acquired intangible assets. Adjustments have also been made to remove transaction related costs. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations of the combined company would have been if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2021. Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Revenue $ 9,449 $ 9,074 Income before income taxes 295 155 European Acquisition In January 2021, the Company acquired the majority of Kuehne + Nagel’s contract logistics operations in the U.K. (the “K + N Acquisition”). For the year ended December 31, 2021, the K + N Acquisition generated revenues of $604 million, primarily recorded in the food and beverage vertical, and income before income taxes was not material. The operations provide a range of logistics services, including inbound and outbound distribution, reverse logistics management and inventory management. The Company recorded the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed, including $281 million of operating and finance lease assets and liabilities. The Company acquired intangibles of $26 million with a weighted-average amortization period of 9 years. Goodwill acquired in connection with the acquisition was $16 million, recorded in the European reporting unit.

(4) Net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1 million as of December 31, 2022. Five-Year Term Loan On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured Term Loan (the “Five-Year Term Loan”) that provided a $500 million unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition. On May 26, 2022, the Company borrowed $500 million that will mature on May 26, 2027. The loan bears interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. Delayed Draw Term Loan On March 22, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed draw Term Loan (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) that provided a £375 million unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition. The loan was available to the Company in U.S. dollars or British pounds sterling. On May 26, 2022, the Company borrowed, in U.S. dollars, a $165 million two-year term loan tranche (the “Two-Year Term Loan”) and a $235 million three-year term loan tranche (the “Three-Year Term Loan”) that will mature on May 26, 2024 and May 26, 2025, respectively. The Two-Year Term Loan and Three-Year Term Loan bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the adjusted SOFR, plus an applicable margin based on the Company’s credit ratings. In December 2022, the Company repaid $50 million against the Two-Year Term Loan. Bridge Term Loan On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured Bridge Term Loan (the “Bridge Term Loan”) that provided a £745 million unsecured term loan facility to fund the Clipper Acquisition. The commitments under the Bridge Term Loan were terminated with the effectiveness of the Five-Year Term Loan and the Delayed Draw Term Loan. No amounts were drawn under the Bridge Term Loan. Unsecured Notes In July 2021, prior to the Separation, the Company completed an offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of notes, consisting of $400 million of notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $400 million of notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). The 2026 Notes bear interest at a rate of 1.65% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022, and maturing on July 15, 2026. The 2031 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.65% per annum payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022, and maturing on July 15, 2031. Revolving Credit Facilities In June 2021, prior to the Separation, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured multi-currency Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility provides commitments of up to $800 million, of which $60 million will be available for the issuance of letters of credit. Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a fluctuating rate equal to (i) with respect to borrowings in dollars, at the Company’s option, the alternate base rate or the reserve-adjusted LIBOR, (ii) with respect to borrowings in Canadian dollars, the reserve-adjusted Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, and (iii) with respect to borrowings in Euros, the reserve-adjusted Euro Interbank Offered Rate, in each case, plus an applicable margin calculated based on the Company’s credit ratings. In addition, the Company is paying a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the unused portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. In addition, pursuant to the Clipper Acquisition, the Company assumed a revolving credit facility agreement under which it may borrow up to approximately £45 million ($54 million as of December 31, 2022) in aggregate at any time, expiring in November 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $18 million of borrowings outstanding under this agreement. Amounts drawn and repaid in 90 days or less under the revolving credit facilities are presented net in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Factoring Programs and Trade Receivables Securitization The Company sells certain of its trade accounts receivables on a non-recourse basis to third-party financial institutions under various factoring agreements. The Company also sold certain European trade accounts receivables under a securitization program that was terminated in the first quarter of 2022. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales of receivables and presents cash proceeds as cash provided by operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company accounts for these transactions as sales because the Company sells full title and ownership in the underlying receivables and control of the receivables is considered transferred. For these transfers, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the date of transfer. Information related to trade receivables sold was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Factoring agreements Receivables sold in period $ 992 $ 450 $ 612 Cash consideration 988 449 611 Securitization program Receivables sold in period $ — $ 1,850 $ 1,491 Cash consideration — 1,850 1,491 Deferred purchase price — — 80 Covenants and Compliance The covenants in the Five-Year Term Loan, the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Unsecured Notes, and the Revolving Credit Facilities, which are customary for financings of this type, limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness and grant liens, among other restrictions. In addition, the facilities require the Company to maintain a consolidated leverage ratio below a specified maximum. As of December 31, 2022, the Company complied with the covenants contained in its debt and financing arrangements. |

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments | 10. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The levels of inputs used to measure fair value are: • Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets; • Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and • Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable, generally utilizing pricing models or other valuation techniques that reflect management’s judgment and estimates. Assets and liabilities The Company bases its fair value estimates on market assumptions and available information. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current maturities of long-term debt approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, due to their short-term nature. Debt The fair value of debt was as follows: December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 (In millions) Level Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value 1.65% Unsecured notes due 2026 2 $ 342 $ 397 $ 391 $ 397 2.65% Unsecured notes due 2031 2 294 397 394 396 Two-Year Term Loan due 2024 2 115 115 — — Three-Year Term Loan due 2025 2 234 234 — — Five-Year Term Loan due 2027 2 499 499 — — Financial Instruments The Company directly manages its exposure to risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. The Company uses derivative instruments to manage the volatility related to these exposures. The objective of these derivative instruments is to reduce fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The Company does not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default. Net Investment Hedges The Company uses fixed-to-fixed or variable-to-variable cross-currency swap agreements to hedge its net investments in foreign operations against future volatility in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the associated foreign currencies. The Company designated these cross-currency swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and accounts for them as net investment hedges. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company extended certain fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements scheduled to mature between 2022 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $322 million. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company extended a fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreement scheduled to mature in 2026 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $165 million. Additionally, in the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into multiple cross-currency swap agreements with maturity dates ranging from 2023 to 2027, with an aggregate notional amount of $900 million, of which $250 million and $165 million were amended during the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company amended certain fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swap agreements scheduled to mature in 2027 to 2026, with aggregate notional amounts of $322 million, these amendments were not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Concurrent with the $50 million Two-Year Term Loan repayment, $50 million of a variable-to-variable cross-currency swap agreement notional amount was reduced. In connection with the extensions, amendments and reduction, the Company received net cash of $21 million representing the fair value of the swap plus interest accrued through the date of termination for the year ended December 31, 2022. Interest Rate Swap Agreements The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of cash flows resulting from floating interest rate borrowings. The Company designated these interest rate swap agreements as qualifying hedging instruments and accounts for them as cash flow hedges. When an interest rate swap agreement qualifies for hedge accounting as a cash flow hedge, the changes in the fair value are recorded in equity as a component of AOCI and are reclassified into Interest expense, net over the life of the underlying debt, as interest on the Company’s floating rate debt is accrued. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $250 million. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations, including foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company uses foreign currency option contracts to mitigate the risk of a reduction in the value of earnings from its operations that use the Euro or British pound sterling as their functional currency. Additionally, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate exposure from variability of cash flows related to the forecasted interest and principal payments on intercompany loans. The foreign currency forward contracts generally expire within 12 months. While these derivatives are hedging the fluctuations in foreign currencies, they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedging instruments. Derivatives The gross notional and fair value of derivative instruments were as follows: December 31, 2022 2021 (In millions) Notional Amount Fair Value Notional Amount Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Derivatives designated as hedges Assets: Cross-currency swap agreements $ 1,222 $ 22 $ — $ — Other long-term assets Interest rate swaps 250 9 — — Other long-term assets Liabilities: Cross-currency swap agreements $ 115 $ 13 $ 328 $ 4 Other current liabilities Cross-currency swap agreements — — 165 4 Other long-term liabilities Derivatives not designated as hedges Assets: Foreign currency option contracts $ — $ — $ 368 $ 11 Other current assets Foreign currency option contracts — — 37 1 Other long-term assets Liabilities: Foreign currency option contracts $ 354 $ 5 $ — $ — Other current liabilities Foreign currency forward contracts 3 — — — Other current liabilities As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the derivatives were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings per Share | 12. Earnings per Share Prior to the Separation, GXO employees participated in XPO’s equity incentive plan, pursuant to which they were granted restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and non-qualified or incentive stock options. All awards granted under these plans were related to XPO common shares. In connection with the Separation, outstanding awards held by GXO employees were converted in accordance with the EMA. Depending on whether the awards held on the Separation date were in an unvested or vested status, GXO employees either received converted awards solely in GXO based shares (unvested status) or a combination of GXO and XPO shares (vested status). The conversion methodology used was calculated in accordance with the EMA and with the purpose of maintaining the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value immediately prior to the Separation. On August 2, 2021, the date of the Separation, 114,626,250 shares of common stock of GXO were distributed to XPO stockholders of record as of the record date. This share amount is utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all years presented prior to the Separation. For years prior to the Separation, it is assumed that there are no dilutive equity instruments as there were no equity awards of GXO outstanding prior to the Separation. Diluted earnings per share was computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that were outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive. The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions, shares in thousands, except per share amounts) 2022 2021 2020 Net income (loss) attributable to common shares $ 197 $ 153 $ (31) Basic weighted-average common shares 117,050 114,632 114,626 Diluted effect of stock-based awards 566 965 — Diluted weighted-average common shares 117,616 115,597 114,626 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ 1.68 $ 1.33 $ (0.27) Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ 1.67 $ 1.32 $ (0.27) Antidilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted-average common shares 2,049 88 — |

Stock-Based Compensation | 14. Stock-Based Compensation Prior to the Separation, GXO employees participated in XPO’s equity incentive plan, pursuant to which they were granted restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units and non-qualified or incentive stock options. All awards granted under these plans related to XPO common shares. In connection with the Separation, and in accordance with the Employee Matters Agreement (“EMA”), the Company’s employees with outstanding former XPO stock-based awards received replacement stock-based awards under the Plan at Separation. The value of the replaced stock-based awards was designed to preserve the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately after the Separation when compared to the aggregate intrinsic value of the award immediately prior to the Separation. In 2021, the Company established the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2021 Incentive Plan”). The 2021 Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 11.6 million shares of common stock as Awards. Under the 2021 Incentive Plan, directors, officers and employees may be granted various types of stock-based compensation awards. These awards include stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, performance-based units and cash incentive awards (collectively, “Awards”). As of December 31, 2022, 8.2 million shares of common stock were available for the grant of Awards under the 2021 Incentive Plan. Prior to the Separation, the stock-based compensation expense recorded by the Company included the expense associated with the employees historically attributable to the Company’s operations, as well as the expense associated with the allocation of equity-based compensation expense for corporate employees. The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the costs that the Company would have incurred as an independent company for the periods presented. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Restricted stock and restricted stock units $ 21 $ 20 $ 23 Performance-based restricted stock units 7 5 2 Stock options 5 3 — Total stock-based compensation expense $ 33 $ 28 $ 25 Tax expense (benefit) on stock-based compensation $ (1) $ 1 $ 1 Stock Options The Company’s stock options vest over five years after the grant date, and have a 10-year contractual term with an exercise price equal to the stock price on the grant date. For awards issued prior to the Separation, the exercise price was converted in accordance with the EMA. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was used to estimate the fair value of the share-based awards granted in 2021. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model incorporates various subjective assumptions, including expected terms and expected volatility. Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for the estimated fair value were as follows: weighted-average risk-free rate of interest of 1.2%, expected volatility of 30%, weighted-average expected award life of 6.7 years and weighted-average fair value of $22.66. No options were granted, exercised or forfeited during the year ended December 31, 2022. Stock option awards as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, are presented in the following table: Stock Options Number of Stock Options Weighted-Average Weighted-Average Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,170 $ 64.72 9 years Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 1,170 $ 64.72 8 years Options exercisable as of December 31, 2022 123 $ 62.28 8 years There was no intrinsic value for options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to options of $18 million is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years. Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units The Company grants RSUs and PRSUs to its key employees, officers and directors with various vesting requirements. The holders of the RSUs and PRSUs do not have the rights of a stockholder and do not have voting rights until the shares are issued and delivered in settlement of the awards. RSUs generally vest based on the passage of time (service conditions), typically four years, and PRSUs generally vest based on achieving certain predefined performance objectives. For PRSUs the number of shares may be increased to the maximum or reduced to the minimum threshold based on the results of these performance metrics in accordance with the terms established at the time of the award. In 2022, the Company granted PRSUs subject to market-based vesting conditions. The Company determines the fair value of PRSUs subject to market-based vesting conditions using a Monte Carlo simulation lattice model that incorporates the probability of the performance conditions being met as of the grant date. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model for the estimated fair value were as follows: weighted-average risk free rate of interest of 2.5% and expected volatility of the Company’s stock of 37%. A summary of RSU and PRSU award activity for the year ended December 31, 2022 is presented in the following table: RSUs PRSUs (In thousands, except per share) Number of RSUs Weighted-Average Number of PRSUs Weighted-Average Outstanding as of December 31, 2021 1,263 $ 42.31 247 $ 53.91 Granted 481 67.32 120 80.75 Vested (1) (441) 37.17 (116) 54.72 Forfeited and canceled (106) 51.09 (16) 41.98 Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 1,197 $ 53.46 235 $ 67.96 (1) The number of RSUs and PRSUs vested includes common stock shares that the Company withheld on behalf of its employees to satisfy the minimum tax withholding. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during 2022 and 2021 was $30 million and $17 million, respectively. The total fair value of PRSUs that vested during 2022 was $5 million and was immaterial for 2021. As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs and PRSUs of $58 million is anticipated to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years. |

Retirement Benefits [Abstract] | |
Employee Benefit Plans | 15. Employee Benefit Plans Defined Benefit Plan Prior to the Separation, certain eligible employees of XPO participated in XPO’s U.K. Retirement Plan which did not allow for new participants or additional benefit accruals. In connection with the Separation, the Company became the plan sponsor for the U.K. Retirement Plan. The majority of the plan assets transferred to the Company were fixed income securities including government bonds and debt instruments which are primarily classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. There are no unfunded commitments or redemption restrictions related to these investments. The Company also maintains defined benefit pension plans for some of its foreign subsidiaries that are excluded from the disclosures below due to their immateriality. The Company determines the net periodic benefit costs using assumptions regarding the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets as of the beginning of the year. Net periodic benefit cost is recorded within Other income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company calculates the funded status of the defined benefit pension plan as the difference between the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of the plan assets. Funded Status of Defined Benefit Plan The change in the projected benefit obligation of the plan was as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Projected benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 1,400 $ — Liabilities assumed from XPO — 1,408 Interest cost 21 11 Actuarial (gain) loss (442) 39 Foreign currency exchange rate changes (139) (31) Benefits paid (52) (27) Projected benefit obligation at end of year $ 788 $ 1,400 Actuarial gains were primarily a result of an increase in the discount rate. The change in the fair value of the plan assets was as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 1,460 $ — Assets transferred from XPO — 1,444 Actual return on plan assets (438) 75 Foreign currency exchange rate changes (145) (32) Contributions by the employer 1 — Benefits paid (52) (27) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 826 $ 1,460 Funded status of the plan assets at end of year (1) $ 38 $ 60 (1) Funded status is recorded within Other long-term assets. The amounts included in AOCI that have not yet been recognized in net periodic benefit were as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 (1) Actuarial loss $ (151) $ (113) Prior-service credit 14 16 Net amount recognized in AOCI $ (137) $ (97) (1) In connection with the Separation, $103 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss was transferred from XPO. The components of net benefit cost recognized were as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Interest cost component $ (21) $ (11) Expected return on plan assets for the period 54 30 Net benefit cost recognized (1) $ 33 $ 19 (1) Net benefit cost is recorded within Other income, net. The amount recognized in other comprehensive income was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Actuarial gain (loss) $ (51) $ 6 Other comprehensive income $ (51) $ 6 The weighted-average assumptions used to determine the projected benefit obligation and the net periodic costs were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2022 2021 Weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation at December 31: Discount rate 5.03 % 1.82 % Rate of compensation increase (1) — % — % Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic costs for the year ended December 31: Discount rate 1.82 % 1.87 % Rate of compensation increase (1) — % — % Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets 4.13 % 4.25 % (1) No rate of compensation increase was assumed as the plans are frozen to additional participant benefit accruals. Plan Assets The Company’s U.K. Retirement Plan’s assets are separated from its assets and invested by a trustee, which include representatives of the Company, to meet the U.K. Retirement Plan’s projected future pension liabilities. The trustee’s investment objectives are to meet the performance target set in the deficit recovery plan of the U.K. Retirement Plan in a risk-controlled framework. The target strategic asset allocation for the U.K. Retirement Plan consists of approximately 40% matching assets (U.K. gilts and cash) and approximately 60% growth and income assets (consisting of a range of pooled funds investing in structured equities, investment-grade and high-yield bonds and asset-backed securities). The target asset allocations of the U.K. Retirement Plan include acceptable ranges for each asset class. The actual asset allocations of the U.K. Retirement Plan are in line with the target asset allocations. Collateral assets consist of U.K. fixed-interest gilts, index-linked gilts and cash, which are used to back derivative positions that hedge the sensitivity of the liabilities to changes in interest rates and inflation. On the U.K. Retirement Plan Actuary’s Long Term funding basis, approximately 80% of the liability interest rate sensitivity and 80% of the liability inflation sensitivity were hedged as of December 31, 2022. The fair values of investments held in the pension plans by major asset category were as follows: December 31, (In millions) Level 2022 2021 Cash and cash equivalents Level 1 $ 59 $ 60 Government Securities Level 2 409 904 Corporate Bonds Level 2 163 269 Derivatives Level 2 (137) (381) Total assets in fair value hierarchy $ 494 $ 852 Commingled funds (1) 332 506 Derivatives (1) — 102 Investments, at fair value $ 826 $ 1,460 (1) Investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented for the total defined benefit pension plan assets. The expected benefit payments for the defined benefit pension plan are summarized below. These estimates are based on assumptions about future events. Actual benefit payments may vary from these estimates. (In millions) 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028-2031 Expected payment $ 49 $ 48 $ 52 $ 49 $ 55 $ 273 Funding The Company’s funding practice is to evaluate the tax and cash position, and the funded status of the plan, in determining the planned contributions. The Company estimates that it will contribute approximately $1 million to the U.K. Retirement Plan in 2023 but this could change based on variations in interest rates, asset returns and other factors. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan that is available to employees whose primary place of employment is in the U.S. The Company matches up to 4% of employees’ pre-tax contributions, after completing one year of service. The Company’s costs for the defined contribution plan were $17 million, $16 million and $14 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and were primarily included in Direct operating expenses. The Company also has various defined contribution plans for its international employees. The Company’s contributions to these benefit plans were $37 million, $29 million and |

Income Taxes | 17. Income Taxes For the periods ended before the Separation, the Company was a member of the XPO consolidated group, and its U.S. taxable income was included in XPO’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as in the tax returns filed by XPO with certain state and local taxing jurisdictions. For the periods ended after the Separation, the Company has filed and will file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return as well as state and local income tax returns. The Company’s foreign income tax returns are filed on a full-year basis. Income (loss) before taxes related to the Company’s domestic and foreign operations was as follows: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 U.S. $ 105 $ (25) $ (82) Foreign 159 178 76 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 264 $ 153 $ (6) The components of income tax expense (benefit) for 2022, 2021 and 2020 are presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Current: U.S. federal $ 40 $ 12 $ (2) U.S state and local 2 2 (1) Foreign 29 26 45 Total current income tax expense $ 71 $ 40 $ 42 Deferred: U.S. federal $ (9) $ (13) $ (16) U.S state and local (3) (12) (5) Foreign 5 (23) (5) Total deferred income tax benefit $ (7) $ (48) $ (26) Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 64 $ (8) $ 16 Income tax expense (benefit) for 2022, 2021, and 2020 varied from the amount computed by applying the statutory income tax rate to income (loss) before income taxes. The Company’s U.S. federal statutory tax rate was 21% for 2022, 2021 and 2020. A reconciliation of the expected U.S. federal income tax expense (benefit), calculated by applying the federal statutory rate to the Company’s actual income tax expense (benefit) for 2022, 2021 and 2020 is presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Tax expense at U.S. federal statutory tax rate $ 55 $ 32 $ (1) State taxes, net of U.S. federal benefit (1) (8) (5) Foreign rate differential (10) (2) (3) Foreign operations (1) 11 5 20 Contribution- and margin-based taxes 5 4 6 Valuation allowances (3) 1 — Changes in prior period unrecognized tax benefits, including interest — — 1 Stock-based compensation (1) 1 1 Intangible assets (2) — (42) — Transaction costs 5 — — Other 3 1 (3) Total income tax expense (benefit) $ 64 $ (8) $ 16 (1) Foreign operations include the net impact of changes to valuation allowances, the cost of inclusion of foreign income in the U.S. net of foreign taxes, and permanent items related to foreign operations.

Components of the Net Deferred Tax Asset or Liability The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Deferred tax assets Net operating loss and other tax attribute carryforwards $ 71 $ 74 Accrued expenses 54 45 Other 15 16 Gross deferred tax assets 140 135 Valuation allowances (44) (45) Total deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 96 90 Deferred tax liabilities Intangible assets (128) (45) Property and equipment (70) (50) Pension and other retirement obligations (1) (6) Other (14) (12) Gross deferred tax liabilities (213) (113) Net deferred tax liability $ (117) $ (23) The deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability above are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows: December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 Other long-term assets $ 43 $ 48 Other long-term liabilities (160) (71) Net deferred tax liability $ (117) $ (23) Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries As of December 31, 2022, the Company maintained a partial assertion for all post 2017 undistributed historical earnings and record a deferred tax liability for historical earnings that are not considered to be permanently reinvested. The Company asserts indefinite reversal exception for not recording deferred taxes resulting from the Clipper Acquisition. Operating Loss and Tax Credit Carryforwards The Company’s operating loss and tax credit carryforwards were as follows: December 31, (In millions) Expiration Date (1) 2022 2021 Federal net operating losses for all U.S. operations 2033 $ 17 $ 20 Tax effect (before federal benefit) of state net operating losses Various times starting in 2027 2 3 Federal tax credit carryforwards Various times starting in 2032 5 5 State tax credit carryforwards Various times starting in 2023 6 6 Foreign net operating losses available to offset future taxable income Various times starting in 2023 235 240 (1) Some credits and losses have unlimited carryforward periods. Valuation Allowances The Company established valuation allowances for some of its deferred tax assets, as it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized in the foreseeable future. The Company concluded that the remaining deferred tax assets will more likely than not be realized, though this is not assured, and as such no valuation allowances have been provided on these assets. The balances and activity related to the Company’s valuation allowances were as follows: (In millions) Beginning Balance Additions Reductions (1) Ending Balance 2022 $ 45 3 (4) $ 44 2021 $ 73 1 (29) $ 45 2020 $ 56 17 — $ 73 (1) In 2021, due to the Separation, $29 million decrease in valuation allowances was recorded as the corresponding tax attributes reported by the Company on a combined basis were not transferred to the Company. Unrecognized Tax Benefits A reconciliation of the beginning unrecognized tax benefits balance to the ending balance is presented in the following table: Year Ended December 31, (In millions) 2022 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 Increases related to positions taken during prior years 1 1 1 Reduction due to expiration of statutes of limitations (1) (1) (1) Ending balance 3 3 3 Interest and penalties — — 1 Gross unrecognized tax benefits $ 3 $ 3 $ 4 Total unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate as of the end of the year $ 3 $ 3 $ 3 The Company could reflect a reduction to unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $3 million over the next 12 months due to statutes of limitations expirations or because tax positions are sustained on audit. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 18. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is involved, and will continue to be involved, in numerous legal proceedings arising out of the conduct of its business. These proceedings may include personal injury claims arising from the transportation and handling of goods, contractual disputes and employment-related claims, including alleged violations of wage and hour laws. The Company establishes accruals for specific legal proceedings when it is considered probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews and adjusts accruals for loss contingencies quarterly and as additional information becomes available. If a loss is not both probable and reasonably estimable, or if an exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued, the Company assesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the possible loss or range of loss if it is material and an estimate can be made, or discloses that such an estimate cannot be made. The determination as to whether a loss can reasonably be considered to be possible or probable is based on Management’s assessment, together with legal counsel, regarding the ultimate outcome of the matter. Management believes that it has adequately accrued for the potential impact of loss contingencies that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any matters to which the Company is presently a party will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. However, the results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and an unfavorable resolution of one or more of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Legal costs incurred related to these matters are expensed as incurred. The Company carries liability and excess umbrella insurance policies that are deemed sufficient to cover potential legal claims arising in the normal course of conducting its operations. In the event the Company is required to satisfy a legal claim outside the scope of the coverage provided by insurance, its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be negatively impacted. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation Prior to the Separation, the Company’s financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of XPO (the “historical financial statements”). On August 2, 2021, the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and its financial statements post-Separation are prepared on a consolidated basis. The combined consolidated financial statements for all periods presented prior to the Separation are now also referred to as “Consolidated Financial Statements” and have been prepared under the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Prior to the Separation, the Company’s historical assets and liabilities presented were wholly owned by XPO and were reflected on a historical cost basis. In connection with the Separation, the Company’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the Company on a carry-over basis. Prior to the Separation, the historical results of operations included allocations of XPO costs and expenses including XPO’s corporate function which incurred a variety of expenses including, but not limited to, information technology, human resources, accounting, sales and sales operations, procurement, executive services, legal, corporate finance and communications. An allocation of these expenses is included to burden all business units comprising XPO’s historical results of operations, including GXO. The charges reflected have been either specifically identified or allocated using drivers including adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which includes adjustments for transaction and integration costs, as well as restructuring costs and other adjustments, or headcount. The majority of these allocated costs are recorded within Selling, general and administrative expense; Depreciation and amortization expense; and Transaction and integration costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Consolidation | The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GXO Logistics, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities where the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company has eliminated intercompany accounts and transactions. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical information and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and judgments in several areas, including, but not limited to, those related to revenue recognition, income taxes, loss contingencies, valuation of long-lived assets including goodwill and intangible assets and their associated estimated useful lives, collectability of accounts receivable and the fair value of financial instruments. Actual results may vary from those estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created and may continue to create significant uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions, which may cause further business slowdowns or shutdowns, depress demand for the logistics business, and adversely impact the Company’s estimates, particularly those that require consideration of forecasted financial information. The business and economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has made calculating estimates and assumptions more difficult. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less on the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdraft positions occur when total outstanding issued checks exceed available cash balances at a single financial institution. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses | Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses Accounts receivable represents the Company’s unconditional right to receive consideration from its customers. The Company records accounts receivable at the contractual amount and records an allowance for doubtful accounts for the amount it estimates it may not collect. In determining the allowance for doubtful accounts, the Company considers historical collection experience, the age of the accounts receivable balances, the credit quality and risk of its customers, any specific customer collection issues, current economic conditions and other factors that may impact its customers’ ability to pay. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances once the receivables are no longer deemed collectible. |
Trade Receivables Securitization and Factoring Programs | |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets recorded under finance leases, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation or, in the case of acquired property and equipment, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to expenses as incurred. For computer software developed, all costs incurred during the planning and evaluation stages are expensed as incurred. Software development costs are capitalized once the preliminary project stage is complete and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease term, whichever is shorter. Land and assets held within construction in progress are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are described below: Estimated Useful Life Buildings 40 years Leasehold improvements Shorter of useful life or term of lease Technology and automated systems 3 to 15 years Warehouse equipment and other 3 to 15 years Computer, software and equipment 1 to 5 years |
Lease Obligations | Lease Obligations The Company has operating leases primarily for real estate, warehouse equipment, material handling equipment, trucks, trailers, and containers and finance leases for equipment. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company recognizes lease assets and liabilities at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. For most of the Company’s leases, the implicit rate cannot be readily determined and, as a result, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rates at commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. For leases that include fixed rental payments for both the use of the asset (“lease costs”) as well as for other occupancy or service costs relating to the asset (“non-lease costs”), the Company generally includes both the lease costs and non-lease costs as a single lease component in the measurement of the lease asset and liability. The Company excludes variable lease payments (such as payments based on an index) from its initial measurement of the lease liability. Lease agreements may contain rent escalation clauses, renewal or termination options, rent holidays or certain landlord incentives, including tenant improvement allowances. Amounts received from a landlord are included as a reduction to the lease asset and are included within operating activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company is comprised of three operating segments based on the operating results regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) to make decisions about resource allocation and the performance of the business. These three operating segments have been aggregated into a single reporting segment. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets The Company records goodwill as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is an operating segment, or one level below. The Company has three reporting units: i) Americas and Asia-Pacific; ii) United Kingdom and Ireland and iii) Continental Europe. The Company measures goodwill impairment, if any, as the amount by which the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. As a result of the change in our operating segments and reporting units, we elected to change our annual goodwill impairment test date from August 31 to November 1 to align with the Company’s budgeting process. We performed an annual goodwill impairment test on August 31, 2022 and on November 1, 2022. For changes in reporting units, we reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach. The review of goodwill impairment consists of either using a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets is less than their respective carrying values or a one-step quantitative impairment test. In performing the qualitative assessment, the Company considers many factors in evaluating whether the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, including declines in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization of the Company and macroeconomic conditions. If, based on the results of the qualitative assessment, it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, additional quantitative impairment testing is performed. The quantitative test requires that the carrying value of each reporting unit be compared with its estimated fair value. If the carrying value of a reporting unit is greater than its fair value, a goodwill impairment charge will be recorded for the difference (up to the carrying value of goodwill). The Company uses the income approach and/or a market-based approach to determine the reporting units’ fair values, which are based on discounted cash flows. The determination of discounted cash flows of the reporting units and assets and liabilities within the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making these estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s intangible assets consist of customer relationships and trade names which are amortized on a straight-line basis or over their respective useful life using patterns that reflect the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be realized. The Company reviews its intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. |
Impairment of Long-lived assets | Impairment of Long-lived assets The Company reviews long-lived assets to be held-and-used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If an impairment indicator is present, the company evaluates recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset group to the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows over the remaining useful life of a long-lived asset group. If the assets are impaired, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds the fair value of the asset. The Company estimates fair value using the expected future cash flows discounted at a rate consistent with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset. |
Insurance liabilities | Insurance liabilities The Company participates in a combination of self-insurance programs and purchased insurance to provide for the costs of medical, casualty, property, general liability, vehicular, cargo, cyber-attacks and workers’ compensation claims. The Company estimates insurance liabilities using several factors, primarily based on independent third-party actuary determined amounts, historical claims experience, estimates of incurred but not reported claims, demographic and severity factors. Liabilities for the risks the Company retains, including estimates of claims incurred but not reported, are not discounted and are estimated, in part, by considering historical cost experience, demographic and severity factors, and judgments about current and expected levels of cost per claim and retention levels. Changes in these assumptions and factors can impact actual costs paid to settle the claims and those amounts may be different than estimates. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue by providing supply chain services for its customers, including warehousing and distribution, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, packaging and labeling, factory and aftermarket support, and inventory management ranging from a few months to a few years. Generally, the Company’s contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more services, including but not limited to facility and equipment costs, construction, repair and maintenance services and labor. For these contracts, the Company does not consider the services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, the Company generally identifies one performance obligation in its contracts, which is a series of distinct services that remain substantially the same over time and possess the same pattern of transfer. Revenue is recognized using the series guidance over the period in which services are provided under the terms of the Company’s contractual relationships with its customers. The transaction price is based on the amount specified in the contract with the customer and contains fixed and variable consideration. In general, the fixed consideration in a contract represents reimbursement for facility, technology and equipment costs incurred to satisfy the performance obligation and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. The variable consideration is comprised of cost reimbursement based on the costs incurred, per-unit pricing is determined based on units provided, and time and materials pricing is based on the hours of services provided. The variable consideration component is recognized over time based on the level of activity. Generally, pricing can be adjusted based on contractual provisions related to achieving agreed-upon performance metrics, changes in volumes, services and market conditions. Revenue relating to these pricing adjustments is estimated and included in the consideration if it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in the future. The estimate of variable consideration is determined by the expected value or most likely amount method and factors in current, past and forecasted experience with the customer. Customers are billed based on terms specified in the revenue contract and they pay us according to approved payment terms. Contract Assets Contract assets consist of two components, customer acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract. The Company capitalizes direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain and to fulfill a contract in advance of revenue recognition, such as certain labor, third-party service and related product costs. These costs are recognized as an asset if the Company expects to recover them. Contract fulfillment costs are recognized consistent with the transfer of the underlying performance obligations to the customer based on the specific contracts to which they relate. Contract assets are primarily amortized to Direct operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the contract term. Contract Liabilities Contract liabilities, which are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represent the Company’s obligation to transfer services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or the amount is due from the customer. |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments The Company records all its derivative financial instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets or liabilities measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as a hedge, and effective as part of a hedge transaction, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or as a basis adjustment to the underlying hedged item and reclassified to earnings in the year in which the hedged item affects earnings. The effective portion of the gain or loss on hedges of foreign net investments is generally not reclassified to earnings unless the net investment is disposed of. To the extent derivatives do not qualify or are not designated as hedges, or are ineffective, their changes in fair value are recorded in earnings immediately, which may subject us to increased earnings volatility. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the equity instrument’s grant date fair value. Stock compensation expense is recognized using the straight-line method, based on the grant date fair value, over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term. For grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to service-based or performance-based vesting conditions only, the Company establishes the fair |
Defined Benefit Plan | Defined Benefit Plan The Company calculates its employer-sponsored retirement plan obligations using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. Assumptions include discount rates, expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the projected benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets represent the Company’s best estimates based on available information regarding historical experience and factors that may cause future expectations to differ. The Company’s obligation and future expense amounts could be materially impacted by differences in experience or changes in assumptions. The impact of plan amendments, actuarial gains and losses and prior-service costs are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) and are generally amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the remaining service period of the active employees covered by the defined benefit pension plans. Cumulative gains and losses over 10% of the greater of the beginning of year benefit obligation or fair value of the plan assets are amortized over the expected average life expectancy. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method on a legal entity and jurisdictional basis, under which the Company recognizes the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns. The calculation of the annual effective tax rate relies on several factors including pre-tax earnings, various jurisdiction statutory tax rates, tax credits, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowances and differences between tax laws and accounting laws. The effective tax rate in any financial statement period may be materially impacted by changes in the blend and/or level of earnings by individual taxing jurisdictions. If the Company considers that a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit, based solely on the technical merits of the position, presuming an examination by a taxing authority with full knowledge of all relevant information, the Company recognizes all or a portion of the benefit. Valuation allowances are established when it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized based on all available evidence. The Company uses judgments and estimates in evaluating its tax positions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to examination by U.S. Federal, state and local, foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years. The Company recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if based on the technical merits of the position it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon audit. The Company adjusts these tax liabilities, including related interest and penalties, based on the current facts and circumstances. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. |
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions | Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use their local currency as their functional currency are translated to U.S. dollars (“USD”) using the exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date, with balance sheet currency translation adjustments recorded in AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company converts foreign currency transactions recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations to USD by applying the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions and the effects of remeasuring monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in Other income, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for any of the years presented. |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted | Adoption of New Accounting Standards In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” The ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the guidance. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope” to expand the scope of this guidance to include derivatives. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, “Reference rate reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the sunset date of Topic 848” which defers the expiration date for Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 until December 31, 2024. The Company intends to apply this guidance when modifications of contracts that include LIBOR occur, which is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. |
