Great Heavy Driving School’s Post

Trucking companies: 3 hidden reasons why you struggle with driver retention. 1. Great driver retention begins with: How and where you're hiring. (You're probably missing the mark on both.) 2. You're advertising/posting on job boards. 3. You have hired a marketing agency that has turned your fleet into a commodity. #truckingindustry #truckdrivers #transportation

Let's talk about one of the hundreds key-points for Driver Recruiting: 📣 Follow-up's We often see a lot of drivers that apply with multiple companies and most of the times your calls are going to end up not answered. This happens due to the high volume of calls that this applicant/driver is receiving on a hourly/daily basis. We need to ensure ourselves that we are doing everything possible to catch the attention of the driver and have him want to talk to us! There are multiple ways that we can catch someone's attention: 1. Good Voicemail 2. Catchy Text Message 3. Well Ironed Email If at least 1 of these 3 are done perfectly, I can assure you that you are going to receive a ton of interest and calls throughout the day! Most importantly, a key factor to having good applicants is to have a good Lead Generating process, which is going to help you reach out to the audience and have only the qualified drivers to apply, therefore, you will be spending your time, focus and money on the right candidates only! Fusion Now Has the strategy to help you get those applicants turned into hires and we have a million ways to make your Driver Recruitment team successful!

Earlier today, I had a great meeting with Luka Korosec. He asked a very important question and I thought I would to share with you: What are the top 3 things Truck Drivers look for? While many Drivers may look for many different things when considering working a company I want to share one of the most important ones we discussed: TRUST. Without trust, Drivers will not join your company. Think about it for a moment If you interview a Driver and you don't trust him/her, would you hire the person ? Probably not. So, can potential Drivers trust your company, your recruiting ads, and your recruiters on what they're communicating? When marketing your company to recruit Drivers, building trust from the start is key. It's the foundation that leads to finding Drivers effortlessly, as they are naturally attracted to you and want to work with you. So, how are you building trust to attract potential Drivers? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below It was great talking with you, Luka! #trust #driverrecruitment #truckingcompany

Driving a truck isn’t for everyone. But if you’re responsible for finding and hiring people to pick up or deliver your goods, it can be frustrating to have minimal options from which to choose. Certainly, you can’t force people to apply for this position if they’re not interested. At the same time, there are a few things you can do to raise their interest level, giving you a larger hiring pool.

How I Overcame the "CDL-Driver Shortage" I hear your collective groaning about that worn-out excuse for not having a driver for that trip this weekend.

I posted that we were hiring for an Exec. Assistant at www.LandJetting.com 5 days ago. Within that time, we have received MORE than 1,000 emails/resumes; each expressing interest & enthusiasm for the chance to fill the role. A) I am deeply humbled at the amount of interest B) We have had to close the submission window C) Submissions are being combed through with a fine-toothed comb D) We will be starting phone calls and interviews VERY soon E) (I have separated this one for a reason) I am very concerned at how many professionals are currently out of work and feverishly searching; please trust that I know the feeling, as I was driving Uber during the building phase of this company...there IS a light at the end :) D) We now realize that we need to hire for MORE positions We will retain each resume and post upcoming positions in the near future, once we fill the Exec. Assistant position. In the words of my kids..."Daaaang, dad...that's a lot of people that sent resumes. Can you give them all jobs?" #WorkingOnIt
