Nope my fault I probably worded it wrong. I get on here and just start typing and assume people can just read my mind.

This isn't like OTR where the shippers and receivers couldn't care less if they waste your time. In LTL linehaul, everyone you interact with is working for the same company as you, so everyone is expected to be productive and not waste resources by causing other employees to get paid to wait around.snowlauncher, Mike2633, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this. -
Well the short of it is XPO over the last ten years has beat the crap out of the S&P index.
So if XPO is offering drivers their own stock at let's say a 15% discount, and it continues to perform that way for another ten years, that's a hell of a lot of extra $$,$$$ compared to MME.
Swift-Knight is also publicly traded (ticker KNX). They've not faired nearly as well as XPO, but they have slightly beat the index too.
But, I don't even know if they offer an employee purchase program to begin with. I have an interview with the MME dispatcher tomorrow, I'll ask.Attached Files:

Interviewed with MME on friday. With MME now a part of Knight-Swift (KNX), I asked about an employee share purchase program. I was told to call HR on Bismarck, and they told me that coincidentally there would be a decision on that on Monday. I got a feeling some kind of employee ownership plan will be installed. Actually, everyone at MME seems pretty positive about being acquired by Swift.
Boy, it's a great time to be a halfways decent driver looking for a job. The interview consisted of me asking a lot of questions and the dispatcher trying to answer them. I told him about XPO's great pay got him to verbally agree to start me at year two pay- $0.73/mi and $31.60/hr. Still less than XPO tho.
XPO recruiter said she forwarded my application to the Fridley terminal manager. I hope they move fast because I know there's a job waiting for me at MME if I want it.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
For what it’s worth, the xpo employee stock purchase plan will allow you to purchase xpo stock at a 5% discount. It will accumulate employee contributions and actually purchase stock only twice each year (March and September this year).
Another Canadian driver and basedinMN_ Thank this. -
I see ABF has an employee stock purchase plan too.
Anyone know how that works?Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
22 years with Xpo. Work with a lot of fridley drivers. Like everyone, they are chronically short staffed. You will work the dock. They run to tomah, wi and Des Moines, and fargo are three of the bigger fac’s they run to. If no run you will work the dock all night. You will make good money, but you will work for it. If your the slightest bit hesitant about dock work, don’t bother with Xpo.
