Just passed your Class 1 licence? Start your driving career with XPO.

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.
From day one, you'll be employed by XPO and supported every step of the way. Once you've successfully completed your training, you'll join our Tesco contract as a fully qualified Class 1 Driver based at our Widnes site.

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
