That RICO suit vs. Robinson/TQL? Jury selection starts in ’28

As the two sides in the RICO case against brokerage giants C.H. Robinson (NASDAQ: CHRW) and TQL begin to make their case in legal filings, a sobering reality about the litigation is that jury selection is not likely for a mere 17 months.

Last week brought a flurry of submissions in the case filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern district of Texas by a group of carriers alleging damages at the hands of the two 3PLs’ practices.

One of those documents laid out proposed dates in the case. While they have not been finalized, with a scheduling conference set for November 23, the tentative date for jury selection before Judge Rodney Gilstrap is April 3, 2028.

That is the final date suggested in a process that does have a few late 2027 dates proposed for the discovery process. A late January 2028 date is proposed for the completion of a mediation process.
