“XPO stands out from the pack as one of the best employers nationwide for veterans, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military spouses,” said George Altman, managing director of VETS Indexes. “The number of organizations participating in the 2023 VETS Indexes Employer Awards more than doubled since last year – and even in this highly competitive environment, XPO distinguished itself as a leader among veteran employers and should be commended,” Altman said.

“We’re honored to be recognized by VETS Indexes as a 4 Star Employer,” said Tony Graham, president of the West Division at XPO. “As a veteran myself, I’m inspired by XPO’s commitment to creating an inclusive workplace where veterans and members of the military community can continue growing their skills and building rewarding careers.”

This year, a record 239 organizations participated in the VETS Indexes Employer Awards, more than double the 118 participants in 2022.
