Best way/places to find drivers?

I know no one wants to give their secretes away, but anyone have an opinion on where the best places to find drivers is? Word of mouth being the best, I think, but that even has it's faults.

 

We do that pretty heavy. Indeed seems like a dry hole and only costly. We're going down the recruiter way now, so see how that works.

 

We're pretty heavy FB, but haven't paid for it yet. What we have gotten from there are a lot of drivers that aren't really sure if they want to go to work or not ha. Part of the business though.

 

We believe we have a pretty strong package. You guys tell me.
Any of these fly by night or Chicago companies offering $50+/mile to start for someone with 1 year exp will never keep their word in my experience.
