    Hello,

    I am inquiring about the XPO team driver position. Do you have any insights on the consistency of miles and paychecks for team drivers? I've not personally observed XPO hiring team drivers, though I acknowledge this may occur. Considering their recent majority acquisition of Yellow Freight, I suspect a potential surplus of freight for hauling. The reported compensation of $0.87 CPM and dedicated freight is of interest.

    Your input on this matter is highly valued. Thank you for any information regarding the aforementioned position.

    Best regards.
     
    Cerberus XVI Thanks this.

    Little late for this but no, back in 02 I stopped to help someone who flipped a car along with others. The car was
    Leaking fuel and was hot and in tall dry vegetation. We helped the man and woman out of the car. Some minor injuries were sustained from helping them out. We were all part of a lawsuit. Cost me thousands defending myself and company. after that I just move over and keep trucking. Will call 911 that’s it.
     
    JoeyJunk and Old_n_gray Thank this.

    I read from a few seemed too be credible sources that xpo bought 40% of yrc freight. I never said it was 100% true just what i read from a few sources. That's why i came with the assumption maybe thats why xpo is hiring team drivers cause ive never seen them hire teams before not saying they never have just haven't seen it since ive been a driver.

    Thanks for your help. My wife knows a few people in management positions they might be able too get us more info but they are on vacation.

    I tried calling the recruiter yesterday as well but no answer i left a message. Ill just go ahead and apply and call recruiter after get all the info i can and make my decision.

    Have a great day be safe out there driver.

    The investment company that owns shares in Xpo is also a creditor in yrc.

    I'd make sure the driver was clear.

    And having worked for xpo when they were Conway, would immediately collect all flammable material and add to the flame.

    So what was the outcome of the driver laying on the road? What happened to him?
