Anyone work for xpo logistics?

I haven't worked for any of them yet, but XPO is not the top pick. Not terrible, tho, and the work environment at barns varies widely, so worth visiting and talking to drivers if possible.

SAIA has driver facing cameras and is very strict about any reaching while driving, forget about using a phone or CB. Estes has a good rep and pay, out of your list it's the best, if the barn itself is okay where you are. Fedex Freight has a lot of openings right now as well, and see if ODFL is nearby, or UPS Freight.

This should be the slow season, but because of the freight crunch going on right now they may be busier than they expected.

 

18 years with Conway/xpo ltl. Every barn is different. You need to find out if your getting hired for a position, of will be on the flex board. City p&d is pickups and deliveries. Everything done on handheld computers. You will work the dock. Linehaul depends on the run. Most you work the dock, some you don’t. Our tractors also have forward/inward facing cameras.

 

I often forget that most LTLs require drivers to work the dock..

 

You'd care if you were a spoiled linehaul driver that makes more cpm than hourly working the dock. That's too much like work.

 

No. Dsr wage is the same whether your on the dock or doing deliveries. If your hired as a dockworker only, that’s a lesser wage obviously.

 

I represent that remark, sir.

I'm lucky to work for an LTL with no required dock work.

 

I know of drivers that left OD and went to other LTLs. There's always some sort of culture shock when they are expected to do more than drive and hook / drop sets. And then they gotta do it wearing those tight, khaki shorts ...
