Profile For Ocean S.

I worked for XPO for a really short time when I was furloughed from the railroad. I really liked everything about the location I was at. In the time between when I interviewed and starting pay increased from $22hr to $23.59hr (Now its $24.XXhr just since February) they also we offering a $6,000 bonus then that's increased to $8,000 now. There was a mix of P&D and linehaul from our location. I was told most likely after training I'd start the shortest linehaul route that was about 100 miles then work the dock at that location for 4-6 hours then return to my home location. It was also possible to "double back" to this same location if freight allowed it. Their equipment seemed really good and decently maintained. The manager and dispatchers for my location were all fantastic. I struggled with the decision to either stay with XPO or return to the railroad, but in the end I chose the railroad, however I keep my eye on them and if I end up furloughed again I'll be knocking on their door.
