   C.H. Robinson's effective income tax rate was 32.4% for Q3 2024, compared with 11.7% for Q3 2023. The company said foreign tax credits and business divestitures raised the rate by 13.7 percentage points and 7.9 percentage points, respectively.

   The company cited higher adjusted gross profits per transaction in ocean and truckload services, as well as an increase in ocean freight volumes, as drivers of the increase in transportation adjusted gross profits in Q3 2024. The company said the rise in ocean services was driven by the challenges facing the global forwarding market, which resulted in elevated pricing.
