Logistics done differently.
Just passed your Class 1 licence? Start your driving career with XPO.
Finding that first Class 1 driving role can be tough. Most companies want experience, but how do you get experience if nobody gives you the opportunity?
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.
What's in it for you?
- Employment from day one
- Fully supported training programme
- Learn alongside experienced Class 1 drivers
- Clear path into a permanent driving role

You'll start on £15.00 per hour while completing your training. Once you've successfully passed and are operating independently, you'll move onto our professional driver rates of £17.56 to £21.47 per hour (depending on shift pattern).
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
What will you learn?
Our Driver Programme is designed to bridge the gap between gaining your licence and becoming a confident professional driver. You'll gain hands-on experience in:
- Vehicle manoeuvring and safe driving techniques
- Load securing
- Driver paperwork and compliance
- Customer and site procedures
- Best practices from experienced professional drivers
You'll spend time shadowing experienced members of our driver team, learning the practical skills that can't be taught in a classroom.

- A valid C+E (Class 1) licence
- No more than 6 penalty points and
