    I am considering their Line Haul training program. They spend something like 4-7 weeks for training including dock/fork lifts. Once out there are double runs to 4-5 other XPO docks and unloading and loading the trailers then running back with doubles. I was told there is more time spent on docks than driving. It's Mon-Fri starting in the evenings finishing out late morning and home daily.

    Would you rather run for a mega? You’ll have to run team and live with a stranger who smells like dirty socks for 6 weeks for half the pay then what XPO would pay. If you can get on at any LTL training program jump on it. You’ll be home everyday and be with a company you won’t have to leave. Top senior drivers at XPO make 100k+ and home everyday can’t beat that.

    So far so good. First week computer training, second and third maneuvering around with dollies and doubles plus the 48 footers on the lot. We did 3 days on the dock and now we are training out on the field.
