Dear Prospective Value Provider,
Express-1 refers to owner operators as Value Providers (VP’s). Express-1 VPs represent our company to customers, the freight industry and our community. They give a first and lasting impression of Express-1 and their actions are a reflection of the company’s values. If you fit the mold of a professional who wants to be the best, we have tremendous opportunities for you. Our revenue has been growing at exceptional levels resulting in increased income opportunities for VP’s.
From our beginning in 1989 to our position today as the only publicly-traded, ground expedited carrier in the USA (traded on the AMEX under the symbol XPO), Express-1 remains totally committed to our customers, Value Providers and employees. We firmly believe that our VPs are the key to Express-1 becoming the unparalleled leader of the expedite industry. By working together and with our focus of “Driving Momentum”, we will create an environment that leads to shared success.
Please join us and become a part the Express-1 team for the enrichment of your career and the satisfaction of working with the best.
Sincerely,
Mike Welch
