Pros

The benefits are good, 12 PTO days starting, Pay is decent.

Cons

Micro-manged to death. You have handhelds that track everything you do, if you are in the yard more than 15 minutes which trust me is all the time because of hooking trailers up, waiting on dock exc you have to put in an excuse, their are cameras in the trucks that constantly track you as well. They cannot keep dock workers because of the low pay and harsh conditions such as no heat or ac, so they make the drivers do dock work. You will be on call and if you are AM they will call you anywhere from midnight to noon and you never know when you are going to work the next day until they call. So expect to get woke up at all kinds of different hours. You will work the dock and then they will want you to go deliver freight the rest of the day so basically 10 to 14 hours. Also its all based on seniority so to get the easy line haul runs you have to wait years until those guys retire. You have to share trucks so the interiors are dirty and your hands will always be black. I never talked to my actual driver manager I always dealt with other mangers and dispatch. There are more bosses than employees. It also goes from busy periods to slow periods to some days you won't work.

Pros

I have enjoyed my time with XPO and appreciate the opportunities the company has provided for both personal and professional growth. The team environment is supportive, and I've had the chance to build strong relationships with coworkers and customers over the years. One of the things I value most is that hard work and dedication are recognized. Every day brings new challenges, which keeps the job interesting and allows me to continue learning. Leadership encourages employees to find solutions and work together to provide excellent customer service. Like any large company, there are busy periods and opportunities for improvement, but overall, XPO offers a solid career path, competitive benefits, and the chance to make a real impact. If you're someone who enjoys a fast-paced environment and is willing to put in the effort, XPO can be a rewarding place to build a career.

Cons

The transportation industry is constantly changing, so employees need to be adaptable and able to handle shifting priorities. Workloads can be demanding at times, but the teamwork and customer relationships make it rewarding
