Dave Bates is joining XPO tomorrow as chief operating officer, North American LTL.
Mr Bates joins XPO from Old Dominion Freight Line, where he spent 27 years. Latterly he was SVP operations, a role he held for nearly 12 years, responsible for all day-to-day operations in North America.
Prior to that he was regional VP and has also had jobs with Carolina Freight Carriers and Roadway Express.
