I've noticed XPO seem to be everywhere now. The Donkey Stranglers are the obvious case, but I saw a depot in Hinckley where they'd took down the old name and just put a square sign up with XPO on it (other side and down a bit from the Tesco fridge RDC). Then on my way home from work I saw a BOC gas bottle trailer, pulled by an XPO wagon! Is it an American quest for global domination? B: 06/01/2014 C: 04/03/2015 CE: 21/01/2016.

I dont know what they pay but if its decent and they treat you fine, let them crack on. Only saying. Cue post with pay and terms to make me look a cock. (edit, or Mr Beaver to explain the size of said cock ) Re: XPO Logistics. by Javiatrix » Sat Feb 20, 2016 1:44 am. They're nothing more than a worldwide version of Stobbies. Green army/red army etc. I'm not fan of working at and around huge, depressing warehouses with huge, depressing H+S policies though, so I'm biased!

If it's nine inches and she hates you - it's too small . Re: XPO Logistics. by raymundo » Sat Feb 20, 2016 1:50 am.

Thing is. that work is only going to increase with the way the world and more to the point the way logistics is going. What the industry needs is a big fair player to attract and keep drivers. it seems know one has thought of that yet. And Raymundo, I stand corrected, though ready to split my coldsore at dippers comments. Winseer, split me cold sore. Re: XPO Logistics. by Pimpdaddy » Sat Feb 20, 2016 2:05 am. Re: XPO Logistics. by boredwivdrivin » Sat Feb 20, 2016 3:46 am. interestingly , the couple of XPO jobs near here i have seen advertised were of an unexpectedly high salary . day work 48hrs with ADR ( pallets only, not tankers , cant remember which class this is ) was £39.5k . and the other one was non ADR , was £34K day work . things might be looking up .

On the contrary, they're actually nothing like Stobbies, they pay a decent straight forward wage that isn't made up of benefits and bonuses, and they're not undercutting rates to such a point of buying work, if a contract isn't profitable they'll either make it pay or not renew it. Other than that, huge warehouses and H&S are pretty much par for the course in most aspects of haulage nowadays, Re: XPO Logistics. by the maoster » Sat Feb 20, 2016 9:58 am.

As to the H+S, if they're anything like Palletways, no thanks. Think I saw an XPO driver at CAT Desford. Struggling a bit with a short decker, though he did look quite young (mid 20's maybe) so maybe they're taking on new drivers? Or he was struggling getting it into the building. I was in a rush so I couldn't help. But yeah they seem to be buying everyone. Saw the front of the storm when I tipped at a Stranglers depot and there was posters with smiling, uniformed men and women (young men and women mind, no old baggage here), bearing "We are XPO". But at least the wagons are nice, even with the tattered Donkey trailers. Maybe I should be looking for a job. >.>

I wouldn't dream of discussing your cock on here Drift. We will discuss it over a pint later on. 8pm Blue Oyster again mate? As for XPO, I will post some info when they take over at our place in May. It's said that " Nothing is impossible". I strongly disagree, I do nothing most days.

Do the odd day for NFT distribution out of Middleton as well. I did ASDA Avonmouth yesterday for NFT, and I thought for a minute you were there! Same trailer as yours, but an 11 plate DAF XF pulling it. Driver wasn't half as handsome as you though. It's said that " Nothing is impossible". I strongly disagree, I do nothing most days.

Re: XPO Logistics. by eagerbeaver » Sat Feb 20, 2016 6:55 pm. Lol. By Christ he WAS ugly man! Nice enough chap to talk to though. He told me that he was even worse looking as a child. Got fed via catapult. Mother couldn't stand him. It's said that " Nothing is impossible". I strongly disagree, I do nothing most days.

One XPO place in brackmills northampton has FREE coffee for visiting drivers ! Also noticed a 'green room' (i think). a place with elbow high tables and no chairs for empowerment and team bonding sessions . Re: XPO Logistics. by Kate » Sat Feb 20, 2016 8:50 pm. Nothing new there. BOC, in part at least, was handled by TDG and subsequently Norberts and XPO. Re: XPO Logistics. by htmldude » Sat Feb 20, 2016 9:55 pm. Well at least the stranglers don't have to repaint the buildings. B: 06/01/2014 C: 04/03/2015 CE: 21/01/2016. Re: XPO Logistics. by eagerbeaver » Sat Feb 20, 2016 9:57 pm.
