XPO Launches In-house, Over-the-Road Operation to Improve Linehaul Network Efficiency
24 Outubro 2023 - 8:00AM
XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight transportation
in North America, is launching an in-house, over-the-road operation
staffed exclusively by team drivers. The Road Flex program is part
of the company’s previously announced strategy to insource
third-party linehaul carrier miles to drive greater efficiency,
expected cost savings and better service for customers.
The Road Flex program is already underway with
sleeper team runs from bases in Dallas, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona.
The company expects to expand this operation to a carefully
selected group of additional service centers in 2024.
To support the program, the company is recruiting
teams of long-haul drivers who will run dedicated routes between
XPO facilities in trucks equipped with sleeping quarters and other
amenities to ensure a comfortable on-the-road experience.
Tim Staroba, president of the East Division at
XPO, said, "The launch of the Road Flex operation is a key step in
accelerating our plan to insource third-party linehaul miles and
create greater efficiency in our network. It’ll enable us both to
reduce costs and improve service for our customers by minimizing
freight re-handling and expediting deliveries. We look forward to
the growth of this new program and the great team drivers who will
be joining XPO to support it.”
A typical workweek for Road Flex team drivers will
consist of five days on the road, followed by two days
off. While schedules may occasionally vary based on network
conditions, XPO is committed to providing workplace flexibility and
balance, along with industry-leading compensation and
benefits. For more information about XPO's Road Flex program
