XPO | Anyone work out of the toronto terminal

You answered your own question apparently.
“:
: show” Yes at some locations but not much more than some other carriers at some. “High turnover” yes but mostly at lower seniority. If you work hard and stay within the rules you “should” be ok. Good luck.Why not go to UPS package feeders and do trailer work for them ? Much better overall compensation and union representation .

I figured it might be a sh$t show at xpo what’s the main reasons new guys leave are they not getting enough hrs . ups only pays drivers $19 a hr to start for the main hub in concord and it’s a 50/50 shot if you will actually get hired they like to get rid of employees just before probation same with purolator unfortunately . I can’t afford to go backwards in pay . Have a mortgage,car loan and other bills

oh so that’s where they run to Detroit always wondered I see them go east towards ottawa also . With new management is that good news or bad .I’m also looking at some trash hauling companies like Upak and J.E culp they advertise $28-31 a hr
Hard to say. You will work. Maybe lh, maybe city. They are busy.
Are we on the same page ? Freight or parcel ? Ups parcel in my area is hiring and keeps qualified drivers all the time . Maybe it’s different in your area .
Canada. Separate country. If it's UPS ( parcel ) getting hired now would be during "peak season" in the States. His time doesn't have to count ( unless they waive it for some reason )

Is the $32.93 in American dollars or Canadian dollars?
$23.50 American times 1.39 equals $32.665 in Canadian dollars.
$23.50 American times 1.39 equals $32.665 in Canadian dollars.
Ups feeder up here in Canada the ads they have say $19 a hr to start and tops out at $36.27 after seniority plus 48 months of service.I spoke to one of their drivers he said it takes 4 years to get a decent run or make any kind of money . The problem here is they like to fire employees right before your probation period ends . Minimum wage just went up to $15.50 a hr here and the average driving jobs for dryvan or reefer is $22-$27 a hr
.Is this a bad time of year to sign onto a ltl company i hear it’s the slow season and being the low guy might sit at home a lot . With having bills sitting at home not making any money isn’t going to work either

It’s possible you may sit. You can bring that up at the interview. I did 140 last year gross on Linehaul.
guessing new drivers probably will be stuck doing local p&d vs line haul and do you work 5 days or 6 days a week
Not necessarily. Monday to Friday. We have the occasional sat run to cover overages at the fac.
only problem i hear with them is you only get 8 hr shifts when new and i’m not really interested in local p&d i’ve been there done that i do see there looking for highway drivers through
that’s not too bad how long are the shifts are they 14 hrs ?
Each barn is different. 12-13 average.

Xpo London is the best barn in Canada. You should apply there
