Dominate the LTL Freight Network with XPO

XPO is a top ten global logistics provider of cutting-edge supply chain solutions and a dominating force in the Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) freight sector. We are actively recruiting elite CDL-A professionals for the role of XPO Logistics Local City Driver (Pickup and Delivery). In this critical position, you are the face of XPO to our commercial clients. You will navigate city streets and industrial parks, making multiple stops to pick up and deliver palletized freight at businesses, manufacturing plants, and retail distribution centers. If you want a highly active commercial driving job that keeps you moving, pays top-tier hourly wages, and guarantees you are home every single night, XPO is where you belong.

Operational Responsibilities

• City P&D Operations: Safely operate a commercial tractor-trailer combination (often utilizing 28-foot "pup" trailers or standard 53-foot dry vans) through heavily congested city traffic, tight industrial parks, and complex commercial loading docks.
• Freight Handling & Dock Work: This is a hands-on role. You will frequently utilize electric pallet jacks, manual pallet jacks, and forklifts to load and unload heavy, palletized LTL freight directly onto customer docks or via your truck's hydraulic liftgate.
• Logistics Documentation: Serve as the primary point of contact for the client. You must meticulously verify freight conditions, sign Bills of Lading (BOLs), process hazardous materials (HazMat) paperwork correctly, and utilize handheld scanners.
• Safety & Compliance: Conduct rigorous DOT pre-trip and post-trip vehicle safety inspections. You must adhere strictly to all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations and XPO’s elite safety protocols.

Why Drive for XPO Logistics?

• Hourly Pay & Daily Home Time: Unlike OTR drivers who are paid by the mile and sleep in their trucks, XPO City Drivers are paid a highly competitive hourly wage for every hour worked (including loading time and traffic delays) and return home to their families daily.
