Forward Air signs non-binding MOU to preserve majority of large customer revenue

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The announcement implies meaningful revenue retention and a multi-year visibility win, which can support multiple expansion if the deal stabilizes into a binding agreement. However, the non-binding nature and transition risks mean the impact may be capped until a definitive agreement is in place; historical examples show non-binding MOUs often lead to modest stock moves unless binding terms are secured.
