XPO plans to triple its 2017 enrollment and attract more than 800 employees.
XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE:XPO), a leading global provider of transportation and logistics solutions, today committed to extend the special provisions of its national driver training program for 2018 - free tuition, income while training and a quality, full-time driving career upon graduation. XPO plans to triple its 2017 enrollment and attract more than 800 employees who want to earn a Class A commercial driver's license (CDL) and grow their career.
XPO's driver schools are located at the company's less-than-truckload (LTL) service centers across the United States. In addition to CDL training, the schools offer experienced drivers the opportunity to learn the specifics of LTL transportation. A hostler class is also available for those interested in terminal yard operations. Students in the CDL program are given:
- Tuition-free education: XPO does not charge tuition for training, saving each student an estimated $5,000 or more versus for-profit commercial driving schools.
- A regular paycheck: Students have the option of working part-time as an XPO dockworker to earn a wage while going to school.
- On-the-road experience: Training includes 160 supervised hours behind the wheel with a driver trainer, in addition to 80 hours of classroom study on federal and state highway laws, regulatory and safety rules, vehicle safety inspection techniques and defensive driving skills.
- A career path: Once students finish training, pass the CDL tests and complete a probationary period, they qualify for a full-time driving job at XPO with a comprehensive benefits package of health care, profit-sharing and a 401(k) retirement plan. Read more
