Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events In October 2017, XPO Logistics Europe SA (“XPO Logistics Europe”), in which the Company holds an 86.25% controlling interest, entered into a European trade receivables securitization program for an aggregate maximum amount of €270 million (approximately $315 million) for a term of three years co-arranged by Crédit Agricole and HSBC. Under the terms of the program, XPO Logistics Europe, or one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the United Kingdom or France, will sell trade receivables to XPO Collections Designated Activity Company Limited (“XCDAL”), a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote special purpose entity of XPO Logistics Europe. The receivables will be funded by senior variable funding notes denominated in the same currency as the corresponding receivables. XCDAL is considered a variable interest entity and will be consolidated by XPO Logistics Europe based on its control of the entity’s activities. The receivable balances under this program will be reported as accounts receivable on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and the obligation to return the cash it receives will be included in the Company’s long-term debt. The receivables securitization program provides additional liquidity to fund XPO Logistics Europe's operations. Borrowings under the program will bear interest at lenders’ cost of funds plus a margin of 1.05%. The receivables securitization program contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, termination events, events of default, indemnities and other obligations on the part of XPO Logistics Europe, certain of its subsidiaries, and XCDAL which are customary for transactions of this nature.
