“Our recent investments in LTL training will give more students an edge in becoming highly skilled drivers. We welcome all applicants with an interest in driving for XPO as an industry leader, including our non-driver employees who want to pursue a career behind the wheel," said Josephine Berisha, XPO Logistics' Chief Human Resources Officer.

XPO annually trains about 700 student drivers and plans to increase the number of graduates in 2021. For its nationwide service center network, the company is now searching for approximately 2,000 LTL drivers and dockworkers.

When it comes to truck driving jobs, XPO Logistics stands out from the competition so drivers can have a rewarding career.
