January 11 2023 - 7:00AM
XPO (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of less-than-truckload
(LTL) transportation in North America, has announced the renewal of
its platinum partnership with Truckers Against Trafficking for
2023.
Mario Harik, XPO’s chief executive officer, said,
“Our safety culture at XPO has taken on a new dimension through the
training developed by Truckers Against Trafficking. Human
trafficking is a hidden crime, and the LTL industry is in a
position to be part of the solution. Through our partnership with
Truckers Against Trafficking, our drivers can potentially save
lives.”
The announcement coincides with National Human
Trafficking Awareness Day and marks another milestone in the
company’s anti-trafficking training for its drivers. In 2022,
approximately 4,500 XPO employees learned how to spot signs of
human trafficking by completing a training certification program.
Truckers Against Trafficking tailored the content for short-haul
LTL and local trucking operators.
Esther Goetsch, executive director of Truckers
Against Trafficking, said, “XPO exemplifies how the trucking
industry can be a force for good in combatting human trafficking.
By championing our training in their national operations, XPO
mobilizes thousands of drivers to support this important
cause.”
An estimated 50 million individuals worldwide are
victims of human trafficking at any given time. Truckers
Against Trafficking is engaging the transportation sector to
report suspected abuse through channels such as
the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Approximately 1.4
million truck and bus drivers have completed Truckers Against
Trafficking training to date.
