Pros
Great experience to have under your belt! Many opportunites to expand trucking knowledge They stage you several area routes every year. Some times on liftgate, most in 53 foot dry vans. Trucks are new and mostly automatic. Still have a couple stick. Decent pay and they keep up with competitors pay.
Cons
Safety was a concern for me when it came to the freight. For most part they practiced great safety at company dock etc. But when it came to the freight we picked up at places that contained crystalline silica etc they didnt care for you breathing it in (causes cancer) they only cared about you bringing it in. You make a deal out of it and they look at you crazy. All this time you were under the impression safety was everything and we were like family (their words). Mill runs were awful too. Asbestos is almost every corner and they did not care for any complaints at xpo. When work is hectic, even tho you have busted your buttocks over road and unloading freight, they might make you stay longer to help dock workers unload trailers after you have completed your shift
