Trucking companies are taking steps to expand and reaffirm their commitment to a diversified workforce, and to promote trucking as an inclusive industry.
XPO Logistics on July 28 announced that LaQuenta Jacobs assumed the newly created role of chief diversity officer, where she will help lead the company’s strategic direction as an advocate of diversity, equity and inclusion.
An internal hire, she joined XPO in 2018 as head of human resources for the company’s last-mile business unit after holding senior HR roles with Delta Air Lines Inc., The Home Depot Inc., Turner Broadcasting Systems Inc. and Georgia-Pacific Corp.
