Ever dream of a trucking company that treats you like a driver, not a delivery code? United S, we get it. 🚚 We've been rolling strong for over 8 years, with zero driver layoffs and a growth spurt that would make any tree jealous (50% bigger in just a year and a half!). 🚚 Our strategy? Sticking to the good stuff. We conquer the high-paying Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast, so you get consistent miles and never get stuck out West without the tumbleweeds. 🚚 We believe that respect goes a long way too. We keep our fleet driver-friendly, meaning you're not just a number. We'll sit down, map out your goals and get you there. 🚚 Most importantly, we see drivers as partners, not just payroll. Your success is our success, which is why we invest in training and growth. Let's face it - the best route to a legendary trucking company is a happy driver behind the wheel. #UnitedSTrucking #DriverFirst #NoLayoffs #GrowthSpurt #StayRolling #MidwestMiles #NortheastNavi

3 of 478,367 reasons why Truck Drivers quit in less than 6 months I was having a conversation with a newly hired Truck Driver who started his career doing OTR. He was already looking for another job after a couple months in trucking. He shared his situation with me at his current job and I felt his pain. His first day on the job was: The boss said, here's the key for the truck. It's loaded, here's your paperwork and off you go. He had to figure "everything" out on his own and it was tough. Why is he planning to leave? 1 👉🏿No training 2 👉🏿Lack of support 3 👉🏿The pay is not worth the hassle Here's my take.. I'm not telling anyone how to run their business but if you truly value Truck Drivers, and care about everyone's safety I would suggest to guide them on the right path to create long-term success with the support they need to get the job done effectively, instead of letting them loose to fail miserably and then quit. I hear rumors all the time that Truck Drivers don't want to work.. That can true for some.. However, I can tell you from over a decade experience of professional truck driving and interacting with thousands of other Drivers in the industry It's not the fact that Truck Drivers don't want to do the work, sometimes the people they work with makes their job harder than it actually is. When the hard work doesn't add up to the pay and treatment, it motivate Drivers to jump ship or change the ship. Elroy Whyte

If you’re struggling to recruit Truck Drivers and wondering why things aren’t going as well as they should. Here are some tips, I’ve been a truck driver and I’ve walked in a truck drivers shoes. 1. Pick up the phone. 2. Engage the driver. 3. Ask questions. 4. Know the product (company). 5. “I don’t know” doesn’t work. 6. Be HONEST. 7. Follow-up. 8. Carry through to the finish line, even after a driver is hired check in on the driver. I don’t like being thrown to the wind. 9. Return phone calls promptly. 10. Text messages are impersonal. 11. Don’t promise what can’t be done. 12. Always remember, driver supports everyone else’s paycheck. 14. If a driver shows interest, call the driver before asking for an application, it shows it’s about the driver, not pushing paperwork. I delete any job offers when they text me or ask for an application and haven’t even called, and that happens way more than I care to admit. AND 13. FOCUS on HOMETIME as the selling pitch! #1 thing I hear in orientation is “that’s not what the recruiter told me” and drivers end up fired up! 🔥 Let’s end the disconnect and work together for the common good and be a TEAM, everyone in a trucking company has a vital role to play, let’s focus on that. ❤️❤️❤️ Focus on what the company is, instead of trashing other companies to make it sound like one company is better than everyone else or enveloping the drama into a post or ad interaction. Most drivers already know the problems we face, we are looking for a job where we want to be for awhile, not the same old thing we left the last place because of. For me, the company that stands out to me is the one that does, with action what they mean, not by talking 1,000 word essay conversations that I’d have over coffee with a friend. Anymore, talk doesn’t mean anything to me when it comes to a job. I wanna hear how a company is different, their values, beliefs and morals. What makes them a good company?, what do they pride themselves in? and what will I (the driver) see myself?, in my own eyes? Not “oh you’ll get home time” yet I’m home 2 days a month or I have to argue to go home when it should be scheduled in automatically because the job offer after all was “10 days out 3 days at home” so why am I out for a 13th day?. Instead I actually GET 10/3 hometime because that’s what the agreement was when the Recuriter sold me on the company and the job. ☕️ It’s all about EFFORT! If you have any additional questions, feel free to send me a message and I’ll be more than happy to help you. Have a Great Day and keep trucking! 🚛

Over the past 18 months, we've conducted numerous LinkedIn polls targeting #DriverRecruiters, #DirectorsOfDriverRecruiting, #VPsOfDriverRecruiting, #CEOs, #Presidents, #CFOs, #Owners, and #3rdPartyRecruiters, all centered around one question: What is the key factor that would greatly contribute to success in your #DriverRecruitingEfforts? Time and time again, the resounding response has been ... #QualityDrivers! Yet, despite this consensus, there seems to be a hesitance in embracing the groundbreaking potential of the TruckThisJob #JobBoard, powered by the innovative #StarBehaviors #BehavioralAssessment for #TruckDrivers. Are we shackled by fear of departing from the familiar grounds of #StatusQuoCity? Is there a reluctance to stray from the comfort of #TradeShows and #Lovefests organized by the #CashCows? I believe there are bold trailblazers among us, ready to venture beyond the ordinary and embrace revolutionary change. Or perhaps, are the #Owners, #CEOs, and #Presidents disconnected from the challenges faced by their #DriverRecruitingDepartments, unaware of the substantial financial losses incurred right under their noses? I refuse to accept that premise! The #TruckingIndustry is filled with brilliant minds. So, what's holding us back? Let's spark the conversation and pave the way for transformation. It's time to tap into our collective wisdom and chart a course toward a brighter future for #DriverRecruiting. Who's ready to join the movement? --- 

In a previous post, I asked the question ... What is the purpose of the #DriverRecruitingDepartment? When is a #DriverRecruitingDepartment viewed as being successful? And there appeared to be some confusion as to the direction I was headed in starting that conversation. So, given that, allow me to share with you my thoughts on ... What is #NOT the purpose of a #DriverRecruitingDepartment ... It is #NOT the purpose of a #DriverRecruitingDepartment to ... ➤ Employ Recruiters and Provide Jobs for Recruiters ➤ To Have a Large Advertising Budget ➤ To Have Something to Talk About on LinkedIn ➤ To Give Us, as an Employee, a Sense of Worth & Purpose ➤ To Have the Ability to Go to Recruiting / User Conferences and Have a Good Time The Primary and Sole #PURPOSE of a #DriverRecruitingDepartment is to #Recruit and #Hire Professional #Quality, #Qualified #Drivers when the need and opportunity arises. (Hopefully, the #DriverRecruitingDepartment is like the #MaytagRepairman.) The 2nd question of ... When is a #DriverRecruitingDepartment viewed as being successful? That answer is #SIMPLE ... When the #DriverRecruitingDepartment is #NOT needed !! #DriverRecruitingDepts should #NOT be a #factory or #meatgrinder grinding out drivers 10, 15, 20 or more a week !! If they are, then there is something definitely wrong in 1 of 2 places or Both ... 1. Recruiting Dept ➭ #Not Recruiting and Hiring #Quality Qualified Drivers (And there's an easy fix for that ... It's called TruckThisJob & Star Behaviors, LLC) 2. The Rest of the Organization ➭ #Not providing the following and #Not following the "3 Golden Rules of Driver Retention" #StayingCompetitive ... ➣ Offering #Competitive Pay ➣ Offering #Competitive Home Time ➣ Offering #Competitive Equipment ➣ Offering #Competitive Benefits And the #3GoldenRules of #DriverRetention ... ➣ #Never Mess with a Driver's #PAY / #MONEY ➣ #Never Mess with a Driver's #HomeTime ➣ #Never, #Ever #Lie to a Driver ==== So, what are #YOUR #thoughts on the subject ... Please tell me where I am #RIGHT and where I am #WRONG. .
