XPO Logistics is by far the worst company you could work for. They take on more than they can chew and their understaffed operation ends up eating the sh*t. Management doesn’t care that you’re a human they treat you like a robot who can work 24/7. Do yourself a favor and don’t work for these guys.
They’re about to open a distribution center some 4-6 minute drive from me, right around the corner, except as GXO. Brand new building i watched being constructed every time i drove by. Hiring for everything. What homeboy on video said sounds like a typical warehouse job, from what I’ve heard. I was thinking of applying, most especially if they will train you on the picking and forklift equipment, then probably look for better pay elsewhere after i can add that equipment experience on my resume. Do they train you on that stuff?
I left XPO recently. I started there back when it was still Con-Way Freight and a decent place to work. XPO came in and destroyed all that. We couldn't hire drivers and what we did get was worthless. So management would just crap on the few of us that actually did our jobs even harder and continue to baby and reward the lazy. Bought my own truck and left after over 12 years. Best decision I have ever made.
@BlackdogDeaf every freight company stinks. Yes you can make good money but is it worth selling your entire life and health for it. Best way to make it at a place like XPO is to be a lazy pile of crap...they will kiss your butt and give you all the easiest runs. I became an owner operator and never looked back. ruclips.net/user/shortsajbFVGGYyN4?feature=share
Been at Con-way/XPO for 15 years. There's a notion that's been lost and forgotten called paying your dues. When you start at the bottom you get the bottom. Spend the time put in the work. Best money I've ever made as a driver in 37 years.
XPO wasn’t my cup of tea. I’m a Class A driver, not a dockworker. If you choose to work the dock and don’t mind it, kudos to you. But, some drivers don’t want to do that and that doesn’t make them lazy, just not what they want to do.
@@realkenn2296 I’ll run a forklift and pallet jack all day for $30+ an hour. Then go drive. It is what it is. If you want to just drive go OTR or regional. Most forklift operator jobs will never come close to that kind of money. Oh well if I drive 400 miles a day and work the dock for 4 hours so be it. Still making 400-500 a day. Suck it up and get that paper. I work at central transport in Pa. running line haul. I make .76 per mile and $39/ hr for dock work. Usually around 400-500 miles a day and 3 hours of dock work. Sign me the fuck up!!!!🥳 Im 41 been doing physical labor for dead end jobs all my life. Wish I would have done this a long time ago. Some of y’all younger cats sound like a bunch of pussies frfr 🤨😆. Anyone getting into trucking knows what comes with it. Besides if you were that close to having a baby you should’ve waited to start trucking at least a month after the fact. I’m not surprised they didn’t want to work with you. I wish you the best in all your endeavors man but this is one of the better companies out there especially for new drivers so hearing you bash them looking for a pity party is weak.
The problem is truck drivers are lazy and afraid to get their hands dirty. I work at xpo as a line haul driver I made 90k my first year yeah I got to work the dock 3 to 5 hours a night but it pays my bills and I’m home every day instead of being out on the road.
@@chrisg1364 you say that now but until work the cold LTL docks and unload freight that is flipped over ..... you'll realize u can make 90k w/o driving around on a dock for 5 hours with no heat and 2 big ass coats on in 20 degree weather 🤣🤣🤣
I'm new quit yrc, every endorsement there is I have it going thru mountains as a newbie (manual), no e brake no ja brake carrying hazmat! But puckered, going down mount eagle. Nope if can't have good equipment im going somewhere else, 3 days found a dump truck Yearly job for 2300 starting home every nite!
I've been at XPO about 3 months now. Just completed their driver trainer program. Maybe it's just me but so far it's the best company I've ever worked for. Everyone I've met is super cool and that's at 3 different terminals. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is the dock work. There's alot of it when you're on line haul but it is what it is. I'll be getting driver pay to work the dock and it's not hard work so I'll just deal with it. Great company for me so far. EDIT It's now 2/11/23. Got put into the city/p&d right off the bat. Work between 40 and 50 hrs a week. Haven't done any dock work. Pay is great. Company is great. Try to keep a positive attitude at all times and steer clear of the negativity and you'll do great!
@@Billiedollazz I've never heard of their dock to driver program but at our terminal in Macon GA dock starts out at 18.65. When you go to driver school you make the same pay as a dock worker but when you get your class A your pay goes up to 25 and some change. After a year it goes up a few more dollars and when you hit your 2 years it goes up to 30. Every terminal is different though. The bigger the city, the bigger the terminal, the bigger the check.
@@chrisdiehl8387 yea thats true because im coming in as a dock worker makin 24$ how many hours does drivers work a day coming in i start their Cdl School in April
I was working for QCD doing local driving. I had the same issues you were having. You are not alone. Companies rarely care about your own well being. Good on you for leaving! They don’t deserve you. I’ll pray for you and your young family to prosper 🙌
I was a dockworker for 10 1/2 years..my body was never the same afterwards .. I transitioned into a driver to preserve my body.. So I totally get where people are coming from.. now I’ve done regional deliveries.. so im not completely against touching freight.. it comes down to how physical it is .. Forklift driving don’t do nothing but destroy your spine in the long run
Working at XPO started to kill my neck, spine and shoulders, so after only 1 year I had to leave there I've been an operator since I was 20 but never had to deal with an atmosphere like XPO.
I hit my one year with XPO in mid March. Compared to other places I’ve worked at it’s not that bad but that being said it could definitely still be better. My biggest issue is my experience being ruined by other people who don’t care and management not holding them accountable
Hey Kenn" Ron here just watched your RUclips video. I worked for XPO logistics in kernersville nc local p&d for 8.5 yrs and, you are right drivers and dock workers are the biggest bunch of jealous babies. Always crying about who gets the late runs or the best runs on Saturday sign up sheet. Why can't these idiot's go to work and mind their own dam" business. It's like working with a bunch of drama queens. Nothing but losers in my opinion. Open door policy is a joke management is a joke. Spread your wings and fly . I was a dedicated employee for XPO . that being said they really do make the hardest workers. Cover other sorry lazy XPO drivers. any current XPO driver's reading this you all know this statement is true. Yours truly! 😭👈
My terminal wasn't bad on daylight. After they bumped me to nights forget it. The dispatchers and drivers were a high-school clique and they all talked shit about you behind your back. Senior drivers (1 year plus guys) shit on new employees, deliberately gave them the illegal loads, bossed them around, etc. It's funny how a guy can spend 20 years in the industry then take a break and start over at XPO and get treated like that. By someone half their age. There used to be respect and there used to be a brotherhood among drivers. That shit is gone at XPO.
By having drivers work the docks, the company reduces labor costs and thus increase profit. That's always the plan. Have less workers do more work. And of course, people always cooperate.
They own you for 70 hours a week and if you have any time left on the and are at the bottom they will force you to run on your day off. At the same time, one of the higher paying jobs you can get right out of trucking school. The dock work can be brutal in the winter time especially at night at subzero temperatures. I still have some friends I keep in touch with from there but there are always people ready to throw you under the bus at almost any trucking job.
find out for yourself and do not go off of the experience of these you tubers. Don’t look for people to care about you. You care about what your doing.
I feel what you're saying. Everyone is different. Some people value family time and others value the support and money that the sacrifices of the truck drivers make to feed, clothe and put a roof over their families heads. I felt the same way when I was at the post office. No time or life outside of work when you're a fresh new carrier for the post office and you stay to pick up the slack.
I work at XPO in Memphis as a City Driver and the shit Kool with me me even working the Dock that’s easy work, then I make $32.65 in the Dock and .76 a mile when driving that’s great not sure about other EPO Logistics-but Memphis Kool. And Dock work Kool I don’t see why people complain, sitting on yo ass driving all day is lazy in my opinion I did it for years so a lil dock work ain’t bad
The one thing you can do in your truck I can't do in my XPO truck is....Shoot a youtube video in a sleeper berth. I got to do it in my own bed in my house were I take a shower in my bathroom. Been driving over 30yrs OTR and local here's a little tit bit for you. Every company has the same problem just a different name on the door. I make $125K per year and I home every day
@@realkenn2296 I never said it took me 30yrs I said I have been doing it for 30yrs. I am also at my place of work for around 55 to60hrs per week. You say you work 4 day so is that 3 night away from home. Then you are at work even though you are sleeping of off-duty around 72 to 96hrs per week. Who makes more for hours at work?
Big al bigs your ass got fire for stealing company time. and you was the most toxic person there. everyone was happy when you was gone from xcv. and you was snitch # 1 yo I swear. lol
The exact reason I don't want to do local for the most part... my next move is probably trying out for Walmart Regional... I'm only here so I can save up make enough money to get out of trucking... but for right now I'm good with regional on 48 Hours home time... which in reality it's like up to 55-60 hours normally... you'll be home for 48 hours or less but that's the official stance... only company I know that's Regional and does that is Walmart..
worked for them 2 years, got injured on the job, threatened to fire me if I didn't show up for work (they're not telling us they are losing the contract and their using us to try and save it), forcing employees to do 2 jobs at one time. Put on forced overtime 6 days a week ( I was hired for 3) I got in an accident, concussion and all, they sent me home and told me to come back tomorrow. I refused and quit come to find out had 2 herniated discs while they were telling me I was exaggerating. Anything you tell HR/Management everyone knows. Worse employer ever.
If youre line-haul youre paid mileage while driving and then hourly on the dock (the normal driver rate) If youre city (days) then its hourly no matter what.
XPO has a toxic environment. Their management/dispatch is horrible. Been there almost a year and im looking for something else. No accidents,tickets, DOT violations. You get assessed points for complete bullshit and i been a CDL driver for 22yrs
Welcome to working for a living you're going to deal with this pretty much anywhere you go if you find a unicorn job which most people don't work for yourself quit crying.
Sounds like it's the transport office personnel that make the job bad. Unfortunately new pass drivers get the bad runs & more work than the "seniors", systemic in the industry. Ultimately if you're not happy you did the right thing and there's plenty of other hauliers with positions available. Hope you, your partner & your son are well.
9 months and you’re already complaining? We all start at the bottom and do the shit work. It’s LTL, you’re home everyday and can make 100k. You new guys want everything handed to you right out of the gate and don’t wanna put the time and work into it.
We are in 2022 knowledge is king, you can settle for that or you can get the knowledge you need to know to go else where and make more money. 9 month in yea I’m complaining because now 1 year in I break 130k plus my guy. Double what they pay with less work. You be somebody’s slave. I will not be simple as that
@@realkenn2296 I’ll take 30,000$ less to be home in my bed every night with my wife, and not sleeping in the back of a truck. I’ve been with the company 12 years, I have a nice route a decent start time. But I’ve put my time in and did the shit work without complaining because I knew I had to start stop the bottom. Like I said y’all want everything handed to you right from the beginning without putting the time and effort into it.
Bro I feel the same way. Last couple I was with hauling cement. New guys doing more loads per day. While the older guys. Less loads but making higher percentage of loads. Then it got cold like November. No loads for new drivers. Like 1 every 2 days. While old drivers are doing your old lanes. An they told me you can for file for partial unemployment... I'm in pa Ohio area.. it seems to me like alot of these company's are stealing from drivers.. having a cdl ain't no factory warehouse pay scale. 20 dollars a hour 11 hours driving .. I'm with you bro fuck them. They can drive they own shit
Aye man I know it’s been a min since you’ve made this video but just lookin for some advice I currently work for Werner n honestly it’s not bad but my experience wit them just been terrible all around and I’m just ready to leave honestly for better pay and home everyday xpo offered me a job to come work for them either city or line haul I’m young so I feel like I can handle it and the xpo where I live at is small ash compared to the other ones I’ve seen is the dock work really that bad?? Isn’t it just driving a forklift and sometimes pulling pallet jacks? Also they said we don’t work weekends only Monday-Friday no weekends one dude who works there that has like 9 years of seniority said he only worked 3 Saturdays outta his 9 years working for them.
Also which would you choose line haul or city?? Also I thought line haulers do more driving and less dock work and city do less driving and more dock work
Sorry for late response but I was told never to go to Werner fresh out of school so I definitely didn’t. Xpo I didn’t a bit of both but preferably would do day shift if possible. You avoid the dock work and stuff like that. Line haul is where dock work comes in. Also they are off weekends but you can choose to work if there is any work
THE SENIORITY IS BS GROWN MEN ACTING LIKE KIDS NOT TO MENTION THE GOSSIP AN TWO FACED INVOLVED MAIN REASON I WENT BACK OTR NOT TO MENTION THERES NOOOOO TIME TO YA SELF BEING LOCAL AND ON THE WEEKENDS TOUR TIREDDD!!!
Someone send me a gift from Europe he told me His from there and I'm her in Dubai. Then only today here send it by XPO logistics then he want me to pay a charge if the packages is arrive..I need to pay 500AED here then I ask him again why I need to pay that amount..then he answered me it's the manager told him..its true that the receiver need to pay again charges if the packages area arrive? please answer me right away then I will not scam by someone 😔
I had interview at xpo yesterday the guy told me I might be on the flex board for 8 months I’m good I don’t like coming in at any time and leaving late need routine
Sorry for your experience my brother but I hate to say this or LTL is like that requires a lot of time in the day and most cases the good thing is about it is that you have your weekends off God bless the much success.
Good pay good benefits only thing I would say for you right now is that you’ll be gone three to four nights out the week and I know you said you have new born. I was same way when my kids was born. Going on 9 years now.
@@realkenn2296 I've heard nothing but good things about them. I went from OTR to yard driving and yard driving sucks. Nothing but 12 hour days doing that
Me and my team at a cross dock worked 7 days per week, 8.5 to 12 hours per day including holidays. Shit wages, but if you give up your family for work, you will earn overtime and holiday pay and that ALMOST gets you to what the middle class was earning thirty years ago for a normal 40 hour work week. Oh, and overtime is not voluntary, it is expected. Hopefully, your experiences are better.
Don't blame you for leaving it's not the best company in the world according to most people and the lack of responsibility and management and workers don't do a good job in the first place. There's plenty of better jobs out there for you to make more money than XPO will ever do and that's the truth of it people just want to keep you in a crabs in a bucket mentality to think there's nothing else better out there
Dam lol im doing my first week of linehaul training right now….we’ll see how it goes once im on my own…thanks for sharing ur story bro…I’ll be going to lasalle and chicago heights for dam sure im working out el elgin terminal
@@Conway7 its not TERRIBLE lol…linehaul does suck cuz of all the dock work you gotta do and a few terminals like to hold drivers as long as they can…i have done day shift already also and i like that much better…as long as i was getting overtime i was making more than linehaul but it all depends on the OT
@@realkenn2296So how do you go from complaining about never being home and seeing your baby/woman when you were home every day, to working OTR where you not home at all now🤣🤔 make that make sense
I ain’t gonna cap I think I’m just going to go with Dot foods this Tuesday or Old dominion and just decline the interview with XPO bc I’m hearing too many bad things
bro xpo is not bad at all. I love it. I came from pepsi so working the dock 2 to 3 hours is easy asf. Making 100 k a year being home everyday you can’t go wrong. ima start a youtube bc i see some many negative comments about XPO and i promise you it’s not bad at all. I do think people that complain about it be lazy asf. bc man pepsi is slave work
I love how these young dudes are making a killing even at 1k a week and complaining about it. Money like that didn’t exist when I was 24. Even in trucking for new truckers. Crazy how much the world has changed . We’re all wage slaves in the end.

I wouldn't accept the package. Someone wanted to send me a "gift" before but told me I would need €3.000 to pick it up. "But don't worry there is €10.000 in the package illegally". It's easy to make a website with a fake tracking code to lure people into paying. The person sending the package usually pays the amount and that's it. It can be different in some countries and also with sea travel. But I would not believe him. I am sorry to hear.
Maybe also ask him to pay for it on your behalf and if he says he cannot, ask him to wire you the money over from paypal or something just to see if he is willing to. If he isn't, then there is your answer.

XPO Line Haul = Traveling Dock Worker
Dang no way ?
More money tho?
Glorified dock worker. Same as FedEx freight
Big al bigs your ass got fire for stealing company time. and you was the most toxic person there. everyone was happy when you was gone from xcv. and you was snitch # 1 yo I swear. lol
@@bigalbigs1 maybe at your terminal. But Fedex touch big freight over here
The exact reason I don't want to do local for the most part... my next move is probably trying out for Walmart Regional... I'm only here so I can save up make enough money to get out of trucking... but for right now I'm good with regional on 48 Hours home time... which in reality it's like up to 55-60 hours normally... you'll be home for 48 hours or less but that's the official stance... only company I know that's Regional and does that is Walmart..
worked for them 2 years, got injured on the job, threatened to fire me if I didn't show up for work (they're not telling us they are losing the contract and their using us to try and save it), forcing employees to do 2 jobs at one time. Put on forced overtime 6 days a week ( I was hired for 3) I got in an accident, concussion and all, they sent me home and told me to come back tomorrow. I refused and quit come to find out had 2 herniated discs while they were telling me I was exaggerating. Anything you tell HR/Management everyone knows. Worse employer ever.
When you work in docks do you get payed the same hourly rate that you would if you were driving?
Yes, whatever your pay rate is
If youre line-haul youre paid mileage while driving and then hourly on the dock (the normal driver rate)
If youre city (days) then its hourly no matter what.
XPO has a toxic environment. Their management/dispatch is horrible. Been there almost a year and im looking for something else. No accidents,tickets, DOT violations. You get assessed points for complete bullshit and i been a CDL driver for 22yrs
Welcome to working for a living you're going to deal with this pretty much anywhere you go if you find a unicorn job which most people don't work for yourself quit crying.
Sounds like it's the transport office personnel that make the job bad.
Unfortunately new pass drivers get the bad runs & more work than the "seniors", systemic in the industry.
Ultimately if you're not happy you did the right thing and there's plenty of other hauliers with positions available.
Hope you, your partner & your son are well.
Where’s the new place? Four days a week out two nights is exactly what I’m looking for.
Yes.xpo linehaul needs be named
Dockhaul
9 months and you’re already complaining? We all start at the bottom and do the shit work. It’s LTL, you’re home everyday and can make 100k. You new guys want everything handed to you right out of the gate and don’t wanna put the time and work into it.
We are in 2022 knowledge is king, you can settle for that or you can get the knowledge you need to know to go else where and make more money. 9 month in yea I’m complaining because now 1 year in I break 130k plus my guy. Double what they pay with less work. You be somebody’s slave. I will not be simple as that
Also do not break 100k there unless you are a slave traveling dock worker. Let’s put that out there. Probably bank 60 to 80 let’s be real
@@realkenn2296 I’ll take 30,000$ less to be home in my bed every night with my wife, and not sleeping in the back of a truck. I’ve been with the company 12 years, I have a nice route a decent start time. But I’ve put my time in and did the shit work without complaining because I knew I had to start stop the bottom. Like I said y’all want everything handed to you right from the beginning without putting the time and effort into it.
@@gunner6294 good for you buddy
@@realkenn2296 130k a year ? what company
Be prepared to work 14-16 hour days.
That’s why I left. Max hours I will work is 10 hour days.
Bro I feel the same way. Last couple I was with hauling cement. New guys doing more loads per day. While the older guys. Less loads but making higher percentage of loads. Then it got cold like November. No loads for new drivers. Like 1 every 2 days. While old drivers are doing your old lanes. An they told me you can for file for partial unemployment... I'm in pa Ohio area.. it seems to me like alot of these company's are stealing from drivers.. having a cdl ain't no factory warehouse pay scale. 20 dollars a hour 11 hours driving .. I'm with you bro fuck them. They can drive they own shit
Where is can suggest better company for worker?
Was u at the aurora or Chicago heights terminal

I’m thinking about doing the Truck to Driver Program here in Portsmouth Va should I do ? They said they can get me in 30 days
I know nothing about it, came in with a CDL
What company do you work for now?
Had an interview last week wit xpo ,received a job offer today. Fresh out of school
Hello, I live in Turkey. If I apply for the program, is there any chance I'll be accepted?
Aye man I know it’s been a min since you’ve made this video but just lookin for some advice I currently work for Werner n honestly it’s not bad but my experience wit them just been terrible all around and I’m just ready to leave honestly for better pay and home everyday xpo offered me a job to come work for them either city or line haul I’m young so I feel like I can handle it and the xpo where I live at is small ash compared to the other ones I’ve seen is the dock work really that bad?? Isn’t it just driving a forklift and sometimes pulling pallet jacks? Also they said we don’t work weekends only Monday-Friday no weekends one dude who works there that has like 9 years of seniority said he only worked 3 Saturdays outta his 9 years working for them.
Also which would you choose line haul or city?? Also I thought line haulers do more driving and less dock work and city do less driving and more dock work
Sorry for late response but I was told never to go to Werner fresh out of school so I definitely didn’t. Xpo I didn’t a bit of both but preferably would do day shift if possible. You avoid the dock work and stuff like that. Line haul is where dock work comes in. Also they are off weekends but you can choose to work if there is any work
But you went to OTR,instead of being home daily?
I went to four days a week of work . Gone two nights

Can I ask you something its and big help for me
Have you ever looked into ups bro?
I have not
Good pay good benefits only thing I would say for you right now is that you’ll be gone three to four nights out the week and I know you said you have new born. I was same way when my kids was born. Going on 9 years now.

Bridgeview but I worked englewood as my route
@@realkenn2296 I've heard nothing but good things about them. I went from OTR to yard driving and yard driving sucks. Nothing but 12 hour days doing that
Me and my team at a cross dock worked 7 days per week, 8.5 to 12 hours per day including holidays. Shit wages, but if you give up your family for work, you will earn overtime and holiday pay and that ALMOST gets you to what the middle class was earning thirty years ago for a normal 40 hour work week. Oh, and overtime is not voluntary, it is expected. Hopefully, your experiences are better.
Sounds like you worked at ULX in Los Angeles right?
No xbv in Illinois
Do you get paid for extra work
Don't blame you for leaving it's not the best company in the world according to most people and the lack of responsibility and management and workers don't do a good job in the first place. There's plenty of better jobs out there for you to make more money than XPO will ever do and that's the truth of it people just want to keep you in a crabs in a bucket mentality to think there's nothing else better out there
Really you just looking for reason! You’ve checked out… just go home.

Helo brother
Very good
Try yrc!!!! Racism and poor equipment
All I hear is complaining.. most rookie drivers don’t get the opportunity you had.. stay OTR and slave away.
I guess working 3.5 days a week is slaving away. You are right 😁

I wouldn't accept the package. Someone wanted to send me a "gift" before but told me I would need €3.000 to pick it up. "But don't worry there is €10.000 in the package illegally".
It's easy to make a website with a fake tracking code to lure people into paying. The person sending the package usually pays the amount and that's it. It can be different in some countries and also with sea travel. But I would not believe him.
I am sorry to hear.
Maybe also ask him to pay for it on your behalf and if he says he cannot, ask him to wire you the money over from paypal or something just to see if he is willing to.
If he isn't, then there is your answer.
What company are you with now?
