XPO, an international provider of freight transportation services, has surpassed its goal of hiring at least 1,000 truck drivers in the UK and Ireland in 2022, achieving the milestone in early November and has continued to welcome new drivers despite an industry-wide shortage.
This aligns with the company’s goal of expanding its driver base while reducing the use of subcontract drivers.
Lynn Brown, XPO’s human resources director UK and Ireland, said: “It is critical that we support our drivers by understanding their needs. We offer a competitive salary and benefits packages, encourage driver feedback, and provide upskill training.”
