June 21 2017 - 4:30PM
GREENWICH, Conn. - June 21, 2017
- XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO) today announced that
its less-than-truckload (LTL) professional drivers have surpassed
one billion miles with no preventable accidents. XPO has
approximately 12,575 professional drivers in its LTL transportation
network, and began tracking consecutive accident-free miles by
driver in April 2012. By May 2017, 890 XPO drivers had achieved one
million, two million or three million accident-free miles, and the
total for all these drivers had exceeded one billion miles.
Tony Brooks, president of the LTL business for XPO
Logistics, said, "The billion-mile mark is a huge achievement for
our company and a point of pride for our drivers. It speaks to
their impressive commitment to both safety and customer service,
because an accident on the road is also a delay in delivery. I want
to particularly commend the 890 XPO drivers who have achieved
personal milestones of one to three million accident-free miles in
the past five years. These drivers alone have contributed
1,102,000,000 miles to our tally."
This week, XPO held a two-day celebration for the
19 exemplary drivers who have exceeded three million miles
accident-free. The event was held in Ann Arbor, Mich., where XPO's
LTL business is headquartered. CEO Bradley Jacobs hosted a
roundtable with the drivers, who were recognized in a special
ceremony. The drivers honored represent 11 U.S. states and have an
average tenure of 30 years.
XPO is a global leader in
transportation and logistics and the second largest provider of LTL
service in North America. The company has been recognized by
Forbes as one of America's Best Employers for
2017. Its commercial driving schools provide students with free
tuition, income while training, and a quality driving career upon
graduation. For more information, visit the careers page on the
