XPO roles hiring across freight terminals
A high school diploma covers the dock and warehouse roles, and XPO trains on the job. The dock feeds directly into the driver track through the company’s free CDL school.

Earn your Class A at no tuition cost while drawing a paycheck, then move into a driver seat. Built for dock and warehouse workers ready to step up.
Diesel Mechanic / Technician

Where the XPO numbers land
According to ZipRecruiter and PayScale, XPO dock and material-handler roles start in the mid-teens per hour, while CDL drivers average around $73,000 a year and diesel mechanics top the hourly band. Full-time roles add medical, dental, and vision, a 401(k), and overtime, plus the company’s tuition-free CDL school.
💡 The smart route: If you already hold a CDL, apply straight to a driver role for the best pay. If you don’t, start on the dock and enroll in the free XPO driver school, which lets you earn while you train and more than doubles your hourly rate once you finish.
