That's where XPO's Driver Training Programme comes in.
We've created a unique programme designed specifically for newly qualified HGV drivers. Our experienced trainers and driver mentors will help you build the skills, confidence, and real-world experience you need to become a professional Class 1 driver.

You'll also enjoy High Street discounts, Company pension scheme, Holiday pay with ongoing development opportunities and flexible shift patterns across our 24/7 operation
