XPO Logistics Inc. has unveiled a roster of new benefits for participants in its driver training programs, effective immediately.

The company’s recent enhancements to student compensation and training options are designed to provide a variety of career paths, with access to schools in approximately 30 states and the flexibility to arrange local attendance.

Benefits include:

• Comprehensive training in seven weeks: five weeks of professional classroom instruction and two weeks of on-the-job experience with a mentor in the cab
• Free tuition and a guaranteed wage paid for all 180 hours of classroom instruction and on-the-job training—a $10,000 value—plus the opportunity for paid dock work during the course of the program
• A benefits package from day one of training, including full health insurance (medical, dental and vision), 401(k), life insurance, disability and more
• An XPO job offer for students who successfully complete the program requirements
• An accelerated compensation path for driver graduates in 85 U.S. markets

“Our recent investments in LTL training will give more students an edge in becoming highly skilled drivers,” Josephine Berisha, chief human resources officer for XPO Logistics, said. “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.”
