ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Company Overview
XPO, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, is a leading provider of freight transportation services, with company-specific avenues for value creation. We use our proprietary technology to move goods efficiently through supply chains for approximately 55,000 customers in North America and Europe. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 37,000 employees and 592 locations in 17 countries.
Our company has two reportable segments: North American Less-Than-Truckload (“LTL”), the largest component of our business; and European Transportation.
North American LTL Segment
LTL in North America is a bedrock industry providing a critical service to the economy, with secular growth drivers, a favorable pricing environment and an established competitive landscape. XPO has one of the largest LTL networks in North America, with approximately 9% share of the U.S. market, estimated to be $53 billion in 2024. For the full year 2025, we moved approximately 16 billion pounds of freight through our network with a customer-focused organization of truck drivers, service center teams and sales professionals, facilitated by our proprietary technology.
Our network serves approximately 37,000 shippers with critical geographic density and day-definite domestic services to approximately 99% of U.S. zip codes, as well as cross-border services to Mexico, Canada and the Caribbean. We operate the business to high service standards for on-time delivery and damage-free transport, while

balancing our network to leverage our fixed costs. In 2025, we developed new linehaul models that use artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the efficiency of our freight flows, piloted routing innovations for pickup-and-delivery operations and continued to improve productivity with real-time labor analytics at the service center level. Our proprietary developments in intelligent automation and AI-enabled decision-making are directly enhancing profitability.
Our LTL business historically has generated a high return on invested capital and robust free cash flow, funding our ongoing investments in people, capacity and technology. For example, since implementing our growth plan in the fourth quarter of 2021, we have added more than 2,000 net new doors to our network, expanding our presence in high-growth markets while improving our operating ratio.
We have created a strategic growth opportunity by building more than 30% excess door capacity into our network. Additionally, we invest in advancing a host of XPO-specific initiatives that are largely independent of the macroeconomic environment. Our trailer manufacturing facility and commercial truck driver schools are self-reliant competitive advantages for our company, particularly when industry conditions make it difficult to source equipment or drivers.
This positions us to capture profitable market share gains and drive higher incremental margins when market conditions improve. LTL industry capacity is currently constrained below pre-pandemic levels in North America, and we believe that our combination of capacity and technology puts us in a unique position to respond quickly to rebounds in demand when the freight recession eases.
We expect our proprietary, AI-driven capabilities to become increasingly essential to how we operate, compete and create value in all these areas. For more information, see “Proprietary Technology and Intellectual Property” below.
European Transportation Segment
XPO has a unique pan-European transportation platform with leading positions in key geographies and deep expertise in consumer, trade and industrial markets. We are the #1 full truckload broker and the #1 pallet network (LTL) provider in France; the #1 full truckload broker and the #1 LTL provider in Iberia (Spain and Portugal); and, in the U.K., we are a market leader in warehousing, a top-tier dedicated truckload provider and have the largest single-owner LTL network. Our extensive customer base includes many sector leaders that have long-tenured relationships with us.
Our full range of freight services in Europe encompasses dedicated truckload, LTL, full truckload brokerage, warehousing, managed transportation, last mile delivery, freight forwarding and, increasingly, multimodal solutions designed for specific customer needs. We use our proprietary technology to manage these services efficiently within our digital ecosystem in Europe.
The previously announced authorization by our Board of Directors to divest the European business remains in effect. There can be no assurance that the divestiture will occur, or of the terms or timing of a transaction.
Proprietary Technology and Intellectual Property
One of the ways in which we deliver superior service to our customers is by empowering our employees with technology. Our industry is evolving, and customers want to de-risk their supply chains by forming relationships with reliable service providers that have invested in innovation.
We have built a highly scalable ecosystem on the cloud that deploys our software consistently across our operating footprint. In our North American LTL business, the caliber of our technology is mission-critical to our success; it optimizes pricing, linehaul, pickup-and-delivery and dock operations — the main components of the service we provide. We have been investing in proprietary AI technology and are implementing these initiatives across a number of high-impact applications where intelligent automation and better decision making are directly enhancing profitability. We see AI playing a major role in how we operate, price our services, compete, and create value over the long term.

An LTL network of our scale has hundreds of thousands of activities underway at any given time, all managed on our technology. In 2025, we moved approximately 16 billion pounds of freight 772 million miles, including moving linehaul freight an average of 2.5 million miles a day.
With intelligent route-building, we can reduce empty miles in our linehaul network and improve load factor. Our proprietary optimization models analyze massive amounts of data including volume, capacity, and dimensions and generate instructions to maximize trailer utilization, reduce cost, and enhance service. We use our real-time visualization tools to drive efficiencies with pickups and deliveries and developed a robust pricing platform for contractual account management.
XPO Smart® is our proprietary suite of intelligent tools and analytics that self-adjusts site by site to drive productivity across our LTL service center operations. Our software incorporates dynamic data science, predictive analytics and machine learning to aid our managers in workflow decision-making. We use XPO Smart® to improve our labor in a safe, disciplined and cost-effective manner.
The “XPO” trademark, service mark, and trade name are essential to our business and critical to our success. XPO, XPO Smart, and Your Freight First, among others, are trademarks and service marks for which registrations, or applications for registration, are on file, as applicable with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We believe these trademarks, service marks, and trade names are important components of our marketing strategy, and seek to protect those proprietary marks and trade names relevant to our business. For some marks, we have also registered or are pursuing registration in certain other countries.
Environmental Information
Our innovation strategy is focused on providing highly efficient supply chain services that use automation and data science to create value for our shareholders and customers. We use our proprietary technology to provide reliable freight transportation services and make the most of the resources within our company.
For many of our customers, the transportation needs of their business account for a significant portion of their value chain emissions. Our technology can coordinate the movement of customer goods in ways that are more efficient. Some of our key priorities in this regard are optimizing the utilization of truck and trailer capacity; streamlining local and linehaul freight flows; and, as described further below, investing in a modern, fuel-efficient fleet.
In the course of our business, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders ask us to disclose our emissions data and sustainability strategies and outcomes. Our Nominating, Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee of our Board of Directors provides oversight of, and engagement with, our management team on sustainability strategies and disclosures, ensuring our activities meet the evolving needs and expectations of our shareholders and other stakeholders. We are proud of our sustainability efforts and initiatives, and note that in 2025, our European business was awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Gold Medal for the second year in a row for Corporate Social Responsibility strategy and performance.
Transportation Fleet
Our ongoing fleet initiatives companywide include modernizing our tractors and trailers; deploying cleaner fuels where practical, such as natural gas, biodiesel, renewable diesel, biogas, hydrotreated vegetable oil and electricity; expanding our use of data and analytics to improve the efficiency of routing, loading and handling freight; and exploring the commercial viability of alternative fuel vehicles.
We continue to invest in tractors with 15-liter engines and automatic transmissions that improve reliability and fuel economy, while lowering emissions and extending engine life. In 2025, we purchased over 1,200 tractors in North America, reducing our average tractor age to approximately 3.7 years. We continue to calibrate our vehicles to improve fuel efficiency by implementing improvements such as equipping our trucks with aero packages that reduce drag and improve miles per gallon, and utilizing SmartWay-approved low-resistance tires.
6
In Europe, our diesel road fleet is over 91% compliant with Euro 6 standards, and we have a natural gas-powered fleet of 280 trucks serving customers in France, the U.K., Spain and Portugal. Additionally, we have environmentally-sound fleet initiatives ranging from government-approved mega-trucks in Spain, which can transport more freight with fewer trips, to fully electric vehicles for “last mile” and “regional” (220 miles range) deliveries. We are also testing the use of duo-trailer vehicles that have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions, compared with using traditional trucks for the same freight.
Electric vehicles show promise in commercial transport applications in Europe as an alternative to diesel, particularly in urban and regional areas. Our fleet experts are working with manufacturers of larger electric trucks, and we have completed pilot programs to advance our understanding of the commercial viability of these vehicles. In Europe, we have more than 150 all-electric trucks currently deployed supported by the existing and ongoing installation of more than 350 electric charging stations at our facilities.
Facilities
Our expertise in the circular economy helps us to continually improve the efficiency of our facilities. We have ongoing initiatives underway to install LED lighting in our buildings, right-size packaging and incorporate other environmentally friendly practices in our operations. We also reduce waste by recycling or reusing materials where feasible, including recycling 86% of the materials in trailers at the end of their life.
Our Strategy
Our strategy is to help customers move goods efficiently through their supply chains by using our transportation capacity, organizational strengths and proprietary technology to deliver superior outcomes at scale. We achieve this across the company by providing services that are both highly responsive to customer goals, such as mitigating environmental impacts over time, and proactive in identifying targets for improvement.
In North America, our comprehensive LTL growth plan focuses on four levers of value creation that underpin the interests of our shareholders and customers:
•Provide best-in-class service. We are committed to building a premium customer service organization by aligning employee incentives and accountability with tangible quality-of-service results. In 2025, we improved on-time performance in every quarter versus 2024 and delivered a damage claims ratio of 0.3%, representing a major improvement from 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2021. Our ongoing investments in employee training programs, state-of-the-art equipment and technological enhancements support our team in continuously improving service quality and productivity.
•Invest in network capacity and enhancements for the long-term. The targeted investments we make enable us to onboard more freight and position our network for the future, while further enhancing service and fluidity. In 2025, approximately 60% of our capital expenditures were deployed to acquire more than 3,600 trailers and 1,200 tractors, increasing the capacity of our fleet. Our average tractor age at year-end 2025 was 3.7 years, compared with 5.9 years at year-end 2022. Since the launch of our growth plan in late 2021, we have added more than 19,100 trailers and 6,000 tractors to our fleet.
•Accelerate yield growth. We are intently focused on customer service excellence as our most powerful lever to grow yield, which we measure as gross revenue per hundredweight, excluding fuel surcharges. Our full-year yield growth of 6.0%, compared with 2024, was primarily driven by our service improvements and, to a lesser extent, by our expansion of accessorial services and revenue growth generated from local customers.
•Drive cost efficiencies. We aim to achieve continuous improvements in cost efficiency by optimizing our variable costs, overhead and use of purchased transportation. Our progress with labor productivity and linehaul insourcing highlights the important role of artificial intelligence in sustaining a strong cost performance — in 2025, our managers used AI-based labor planning algorithms to improve productivity year-over-year, and we managed our network more fluidly with intelligent linehaul models, enabling us to reduce our reliance on third-party linehaul carriers ahead of plan. With more linehaul miles managed

internally, we can gain greater control over service quality and protect our cost structure against rising truckload rates when the current freight recession ends. For the full year 2025, we lowered our cost of third-party purchased transportation by over 50% compared with 2024 and reduced outsourced linehaul miles as a percentage of total linehaul miles to 5.1% in the fourth quarter. This is one of many ways in which we use our technology to manage our network synergistically and accelerate incremental margin growth over time.
We have made considerable progress in each of these areas since launching our growth plan in the fourth quarter of 2021, and we believe we are still in the early stage of realizing our plan’s full potential.
Customers and Markets
We provide freight transportation services to approximately 55,000 customers ranging in size from small, entrepreneurial businesses to Fortune 500 companies. Our customers span every major industry, giving us valuable strongholds in verticals that are fundamental to the economy, such as industrial and manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, and consumer goods. In 2025, we generated approximately 59% of revenue in North America, derived almost entirely from the U.S., 16% in France, 14% in the U.K. and 11% in the rest of Europe.
The diversification of our customer base minimizes concentration risk. Globally, in 2025, our top five customers combined accounted for approximately 8% of revenue, with the largest customer accounting for less than 3% of revenue. In our North American LTL segment, in 2025, our top five customers combined accounted for less than 11% of revenue, with the largest customer accounting for approximately 4% of revenue.
Competition
We operate in highly competitive marketplaces where customers can choose from among many different transportation providers with distinct value propositions. We compete on quality and reliability of service, scope and scale of operations, expertise, price, and our technological capabilities, which are growing in importance as a differentiator.
Our competitors in North America include local, regional and national LTL carriers that offer the same services we provide, such as Old Dominion Freight Line and Saia. Our competitors in Europe vary based on type of service; for example, the competitive landscape for LTL transportation differs from that of dedicated or brokered full truckload transportation or multimodal solutions. Due to the competitive nature of our marketplaces, we place equal importance on strengthening existing customer relationships and forging new relationships.
Our ability to make ongoing investments in the business is one of the most compelling competitive strengths of XPO. It ensures that we can operate consistently throughout changes in market conditions and deliver what our customers value most — reliable capacity, technology-driven efficiencies and problem-solving expertise. We believe that we are in a strong position to create value from all levels of demand for LTL services, and to benefit from secular industrial and retail trends in all parts of the cycle, such as the trend toward shippers increasingly outsourcing freight transportation, the shift toward more frequent LTL shipments versus full truckload freight in some sectors, and an increase in the nearshoring of manufacturing activity to North America.
Regulation
Our operations are regulated by various governmental agencies in the U.S. and in other countries where we conduct business. These regulations impact us directly and indirectly because they regulate third-party transportation providers with which we arrange and/or contract to transport freight for our customers.
Regulations Affecting Motor Carriers and Transportation Brokers. In the U.S., our subsidiaries that operate as motor carriers and freight transportation brokers are licensed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”). Our motor carrier subsidiaries and the third-party motor carriers we contract with in the U.S. must comply with the safety and operations regulations of the DOT. Like all motor carriers, XPO must participate in the FMCSA’s Compliance Safety Accountability (“CSA”) program, which uses a Safety Measurement System (“SMS”) to rank motor carriers on seven categories of safety-related data, known as Behavioral Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (“BASICs”), including those related to, without
8
limitation, controlled substances and alcohol, hours-of-service compliance, vehicle maintenance, hazardous materials compliance, driver fitness, accidents or crashes, and unsafe driving. We are also subject to a variety of vehicle registration and licensing requirements in certain states and local jurisdictions where we operate, as are the third-party transportation providers with which we contract. In foreign jurisdictions where we operate, our operations are regulated by the appropriate governmental authorities.
Other federal and state agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) and the California Air Resources Board (“CARB”), also regulate our equipment and operations. We may become subject to new or more restrictive regulations relating to emissions, drivers’ hours-of-service, onboard reporting of operations, cargo security and other regulations affecting safety or operating methods. Regulatory requirements, and changes to the regulatory environment, may affect our business or the economics of the transportation industry by requiring changes in operating practices that could impact the demand for, and increase the costs of, providing transportation services.
Environmental Regulations. We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate. In the U.S., these laws and regulations deal with the hauling, handling and disposal of hazardous materials, emissions from vehicles, engine-idling, storage tanks (fuel, oil, antifreeze and other products) and related fuel spillage and seepage, discharge and retention of storm water, and other environmental matters. We may be responsible for the cleanup of a spill or other incident involving hazardous materials caused by our business. In the past, we have been responsible for the cost to clean up diesel fuel spills caused by traffic accidents or other events for which we are legally responsible, and none of these incidents materially affected our business or operations. We generally transport only hazardous materials rated as low-to-medium-risk, and only a small percentage of our total loads contain hazardous materials. We do not know of any existing environmental law, regulation or condition that reasonably would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, capital expenditures, or operating results. However, future changes to environmental laws or regulations may impact our operations and could result in increased costs.
Other Regulations. We are subject to a variety of other U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-bribery and anti-corruption statutes, and trade compliance laws. We are also subject to state and U.S. federal laws and regulations addressing some types of cargo transported or stored by our subsidiaries, or transported pursuant to a government contract or subcontract. Violations or noncompliance could result in significant fines from governmental authorities and negatively impact our reputation, operations and financial condition.
Risk Management and Insurance
We maintain insurance for commercial automobile and trucker’s liability, commercial general liability, cargo legal liability, workers’ compensation and employers’ liability, umbrella and excess liability, cyber risk, and property coverage with coverage limits, deductibles and self-insured retention levels that we believe are reasonable given the varying historical frequency, severity and timing of claims.
Seasonality
Our revenue and profitability in the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year are typically lower than in the second and third quarters. The productivity of our transportation fleet historically decreases during the winter season, as it does for the industry in general, because inclement weather impedes transport operations. Additionally, we believe that many of our customers experience a post-holiday decline in demand for their products, contributing to the historical decrease in industry freight shipments in the first quarter. It is not possible to reliably predict whether our historical revenue and profitability trends will continue to occur in future periods.

Human Capital Management
As a people-driven company with a strong customer service culture, our ability to be an employer of choice and a business partner of choice are intertwined. We have an unwavering commitment to a workplace culture that places a premium on safety, as well as professional growth, engagement and competitive total compensation and benefits for our employees. These and many other aspects of our culture help us attract and retain a high caliber of talent to our organization.
Our Chief Human Resources Officer (“CHRO”) has primary responsibility for our human capital management strategy, including recruiting, developing, engaging and retaining employees who share our work ethic and values. The CHRO is also responsible for the design of employee compensation and benefits programs.
In addition to our employment culture, our success relies on our company’s robust governance structure, our Code of Business Ethics and the importance we place on being a good corporate citizen. Ultimately, our decisions and actions are guided by XPO’s values — overachieve for customers, be safe, be accountable, always improve, respect each other and be world-class in every way.
Employee Base Profile
Based on December 31, 2025 data, XPO has locations in 17 countries, with approximately 22,500 employees in North America, 14,400 employees in Europe and 400 employees in Asia, supplemented by approximately 3,000 temporary workers.
By geography, approximately 60% of our global employees are based in North America, 39% in Europe and 1% in Asia. By job description, approximately 63% of our employees work as drivers and dockworkers, 25% as operations and facility workers, and the remainder in support roles and other positions. In North America, approximately 85% of our employees have hourly roles and 15% have salaried positions.
By gender, approximately 15% of our global employees are women — this increases to 33% when excluding drivers, dockworkers and technicians. In North America, 50% of our professional management positions are held by women.
In 2025, approximately 60% of our newly hired U.S. employees self-identified as ethnically or racially diverse and approximately 45% of our total U.S. employee population was ethnically or racially diverse. This includes 20% of U.S. employees who self-identified as Black or African American, which is over six percentage points higher than the U.S. population, based on the most recent census data.
In our total workforce, the absolute number of females in managerial positions grew by approximately 5% cumulatively from 2022 to 2025; the absolute number of ethnically or racially diverse employees in managerial positions grew by 9% cumulatively in the same period. Ethnically or racially diverse employees earned 32% of managerial promotions in 2025 and held 16% of executive leadership positions (vice president and above), 29% of professional management roles and 33% of operational management roles.
As of December 31, 2025, none of our employees were represented by a union in North America and 85% of our employees in Europe were covered by a collective bargaining or similar agreement, consistent with our December 31, 2024 position.
Throughout 2025, we continued to make substantial investments in direct employee communications, conducting quarterly engagement surveys and holding over 9,000 roundtable discussions and safety and engagement committee meetings across our North American LTL network. The employee feedback we receive is often instrumental in driving new initiatives that strengthen our culture of respect, appreciation and opportunity.
Health and Safety
The physical and emotional safety of our employees is paramount, and we have numerous protocols in place to ensure a safe work environment. We developed our Road to Zero program to decrease occupational injuries and illnesses through education, mentoring, communication and on-the-job training that instills awareness and reduces
10
risk. These same priorities are emphasized when we train new commercial driver candidates at our in-house, LTL driver training schools nationwide, where veteran XPO driver-instructors reinforce our safety culture.
As part of Road to Zero, we track accident-free miles and recognize XPO drivers who have achieved million-mile safety milestones. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 2,550 of our LTL drivers have achieved a safety designation of at least one million accident-free miles, with 211 of these drivers meeting this threshold in 2025. Since the inception of Road to Zero in 2022, we have had four drivers reach four million accident-free miles during their career, which is the highest driver safety record in XPO’s history.
In addition to physical well-being, we consider emotional well-being to be an important part of workplace safety. Our Code of Business Ethics mandates zero tolerance of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, bullying and other unacceptable behaviors. We want our employees to feel welcome at work, and we give them multiple channels to report any incidents. This includes an open-door policy that encourages employees to speak with any supervisor, manager or member of the HR team, and our EthicsPoint hotline and website for reporting incidents anonymously.
We are diligent about evaluating new programs as they become available to support the physical and mental health of our employees. Recently, we introduced new options for virtual physical therapy and virtual primary care and enhanced our employee assistance programs specifically for mental health.
Employee Engagement and Development
XPO executive leadership regularly solicits feedback from employees to gauge our progress, assess satisfaction and encourage constructive suggestions. Each quarter, we ask our “wired” employees to submit their input through an anonymous online satisfaction survey. In the U.S., we also conduct an annual satisfaction survey of our “non-wired” frontline employees and hold regular roundtables and town halls. Based on employee feedback, we develop action plans at the business unit and facility levels to implement targeted improvements.
XPO was named a 2025 “Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation – Elite 30” by the Women in Trucking Association, a 2025 “4 Star Employer” by VETS Index, and a “2025 Military Friendly Employer – Gold Ranking” by Viqtory.
Additionally, we foster career development at all levels to recruit and retain high-caliber employees. Our career development infrastructure includes the following areas of focus, among others:
Recruitment. We use an array of channels and recruiting partnerships to attract qualified job candidates. Our goal is to identify candidates who have the skills our customers need, or the desire to learn those skills.
Interactive Hiring. Our integrated approach to talent development begins with our robust digital recruitment platform, which includes online job previews and pre-employment assessments for key positions. Our platform provides an efficient way for candidates to learn about XPO at their convenience and explore positions that match their interests and abilities. This is a more stress-free entry into the recruitment process for job candidates, and improves both the onboarding experience and retention rates for new hires.
XPO Accelerate. Launched in September 2022, XPO Accelerate provides high-potential leaders in service center, sales and support staff roles with the critical skills necessary to take on more senior leadership roles. This program helps retain and promote promising leadership talent by building relevant strategic skills.
Frontline Leadership Training. XPO’s Freight Leadership Certification and Freight Operations Onboarding webinars support newly hired frontline leaders as they transition into their roles. The programs equip employees with fundamental skills to succeed in freight operations, including online learning and weekly instructor-led webinars.
LTL Driver Training Schools. XPO’s commercial truck driver training schools are an essential channel for recruiting new drivers to XPO, as well as providing new careers for employees currently in other roles, such as dockworkers. Trainees attend our driver school tuition-free, receive pay while training and have an opportunity for full-time employment with XPO after earning a CDL-A license. We also offer employees tuition reimbursement of up to
11
$5,000 for any approved non-XPO driver training school. In 2025, we graduated over 400 students from our LTL driver training locations.
Maintenance Training. Well-maintained tractors and trailers are an essential component of both safety and customer service in LTL transportation. Our in-house maintenance training school enhances technical skills for new hires and provides continuous learning for our field maintenance personnel to stay abreast of maintenance developments and warranty recovery requirements.
XPO University. Our learning and development platform, XPO University, delivers over 22,000 online and in-person learning and assessment programs to our employees in North America and Europe in areas such as onboarding, management training, technology, compliance and safety and professional skills development. In 2025, over 380,000 training hours were completed by our employees worldwide.
Expansive Total Rewards
Our total compensation package is instrumental in providing a superior employment experience, and conveys how much we appreciate each employee’s choice of XPO. The pillars of the expansive total rewards we offer are:
Competitive Wages and Jobs Creation. In addition to our annual merit and hourly pay increases that broadly cover our employee population in North America, over 1,000 eligible LTL employees at over 225 locations received additional wage increases throughout 2025.
Comprehensive Benefits. We offer an extensive suite of benefits to support the health and well-being of our employees and their families, often reflecting responsiveness to employee feedback. In the U.S., examples include:
•Pregnancy Care Policy: Guarantees up to 80 hours of paid prenatal medical leave and certain automatic accommodations, plus consideration of more significant accommodations while preserving existing wage rates.
•Family Bonding Policy: Provides up to an additional six weeks of 100% paid time off for the primary caregiver of a newborn or newly adopted child, and two weeks of 100% paid time off for a secondary caregiver.
•Tuition Reimbursement: Provides up to $5,250 of annual reimbursement for continuing education, academic discounts in a wide variety of fields of online study and tuition-free commercial driver training.
•Additional Benefits: Includes virtual preventive health care, pelvic health management, physical therapy services and diabetes testing supplies at no cost to enrolled employees, as well as supplemental insurance, short-term loans and a personalized Total Rewards Statement.
In Europe, XPO’s benefit programs vary by country and are tailored to the needs of local markets. Examples include comprehensive health and risk insurances, employee assistance programs covering mental, physical and financial well-being, commercial driver training, vocational coaching and training, and a fully flexible benefits program in the U.K.
Community Outreach
XPO continues to support organizations that reflect the interests of our employees and the communities where we operate. In 2025, our company served as the official transportation partner for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walks to end breast cancer and partnered with Truckers Against Trafficking to educate our employees about human trafficking. We supported homeless shelters by donating more than 80,000 pairs of socks, sponsored Pat’s Run to support the Pat Tillman Foundation, and moved 5 loads of wreaths for Wreaths Across America to be placed on graves of U.S. veterans. On the safety front, our employees take pride in XPO being the official transport partner for the Tour de France competition for over 45 years.
