XPO | Pay Scale

I really think alot of the flight comes from guys just being uneasy about where they work. They have seen all the cutting that has been done to management and they are waiting on the other shoe to drop on driver's. I personally don't have this opinion. This guy is not going to destroy our company intentionally because he wants to have an exit plan. Con-way was fat and no one cared about cost. I believe he is driving home a profit and loss mentality. The one thing that has really been lacking is communication. They've never dealt with truck drivers they were primarily a 3pl before the purchase. I don't think they understood how skittish truck drivers are. We are one of the only industries where you can find another good job pretty easily. So it is easier for us to say screw it I'll try my luck somewhere else. Alot of this could have been avoided with constant communication and direction from upper management.


I wish I could share your point of view. To be eternally optimistic can be a great thing. It can also cloud reality.
 
So i'm bringing back this thread due to Malt's comment about XPO having the highest pay wage in the country. I'm not sure if that's correct.
Because the location i work at is bleeding out drive's like crazy. In the past 3 week's i believe 7 or 9 have left. Due to the wage and hour's being cut.
I spoke to few of the drive's before they left. Some went to OD and from i was told is paying drive's 30 or a little more
Other's went to Sia and i'm told one guy who left about 3 month's ago is making top wage. which i was told it's 33+ .
When i asked the drive's at XPO they tell me, they get 28+ as top wage.. Not sure if this true. All i know is Management closes the shop at 4 pm and i took a pay cut 4 month's ago.
By the way this location is hiring 6 new driver's (to be schooled)and has posted a hiring banner on a trailer facing the freeway.
If there cutting hour's why hire more drive's??
P.S on friday we updated the vnomics on all the tractor's. Now XPO will be able to make sure you account for every second you guy's are on the road. Or of it...The new system has a better program for tracking.
I work at XPO and we started Elogs 3 weeks ago and its not much different than a paper log
 
Just wondering. Anyone else getting another pay bump or is it just the western region??
Could you please explain what you are referring to?

Who's getting a "pay bump" ?

Why are they getting it? How much are they getting?

When is the "pay bump" happening?

From what i was told . All new driver's are going to get top wage. Which their going to raise the wage by another dollar or more. It's suppose to take effect with in the next few months. I will have to ask more driver's to get more info.

That is probably a local thing if you're having trouble finding drivers. They more than likely bumped your terminal to the top pay tier. I think it's about $1.50 more than the level 3 tier.

OD goes up to 24 something on the dock for full time.

70c + 1.50= to alot better than the 32c raise i got a few year's + the 20c this year. But i think i'll use that 20c to max out my 401. And since I won't be drink Starbucks. I should be good to retire in about 85 year's. 85 + 47 = oh it's going to be a great retirement.

Maybe you should have "Planed4afuture" instead of Stand4afuture.
This is on my finical guy web site.
Let’s see what kind of future $35 a week could afford you if you invest in good growth stock mutual funds. If you’re doing the math, that would be 15% of an approximately $12,000 salary—$3,000 less than what you’d bring home in a year if you worked 40 hours a week at the federal minimum wage.
In 20 years, you could retire with $110,000 to $150,000.
In 30 years, you could retire with $330,000 to $490,000.
In 40 years, you could retire with $890,000 to $1.5 million!
 
I thought I would give this thread a little CPR.
The word I heard on the street is OD announce the raise for drivers. I heard 85¢ that would put them at just over $29 per hr.
Anyone else hear anything about it?

I thought it was common practice for OD to give a raise in September ? And they have made more on the hour for a long time. But don't get the same OT that we do.
 
I would agree with you, I, that road probably does figure around 30ish, but no, not p and d.
OD is around 28 in the Chicago area, probably followed by FedEx , and XPO . But by the time the smoke clears at years end and a guy from every LTL, including us lay down their W-2 next to one another, there will not be a big difference when you figure in paying for insurance, funding your 401 and things like that. The gross money will be fairly close .
Unless you are ups freight. Their city guys bring home 3-400 more per week than I do
