XPO Logistics Professional Drivers Take Top Honors at 2016 National Truck Driving Championships

August 16, 2016
No Comments

GREENWICH, Conn. — August 15, 2016 — XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) today announced that two of its professional truck drivers each took first place in their competition classes at the 2016 National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC). The event was held this past weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Known as the "Super Bowl of Safety," the NTDC began in 1937 and is conducted annually by the American Trucking Associations. The competition brings together some 400 of the nation's most accomplished professional drivers. The participants must win at the state level to advance to the national finals.

Taking home national titles for XPO Logistics this year were two of the company's less-than-truckload drivers:

• Chris Poynor, from Pasco, Wash., winner of the twin-trailer competition class; and

• Jeff Langenhahn, from Stevens Point, Wisc., winner of the tank truck class. Langenhahn was the NTDC Grand Champion in 2014.

Tom Clark, XPO's senior vice president, less-than-truckload operations, said, "We're very proud of Chris and Jeff and the example they set for safe practices in our industry. Winning at the NTDCs requires a laser focus on performance at the highest level. We applaud them and all of our drivers who embody our safety culture at XPO."
