I don’t see any company “creating” a spot when there is no need. I do see a company hiring someone who has been in the LTL market for many years when maybe they hadn’t planned to hire immediately. A driver who already knows the business and the geographic location is worth “creating” a position for, especially if that drivers current boss thinks highly of their work ethics and has influence with a competitor who has some need for an experienced LTL driver.

Thanks for all the responses.
I left out a bunch of context. But now that I made it home I can elaborate. My TM is friends with the other TM. I am guessing XPO is anticipating a loss and my TM was able to pull some strings to get the job filled using me before or right as the other driver leaves. So technically they would have an extra driver on the manpower report that they are not staffed for if the other person doesn't disappear. Now I don't know of this is the actual case but that's the only explanation that I can think of.
I do believe my TM is acting in good faith. I am a decent driver and he never had any serious problems with me. Today was the second time he said R&L is crap and insists I go anywhere but there.
How is the pay and insurance at XPO? And how do they treat their drivers? Anyone know?Mike2633 Thanks this. -

There’s one thing worthy of mention. At XPO you’ll have a camera in your face. At R&L you’ll only have one facing the road.
