Problem finding drivers

Are you just not getting any responses at all or are they calling and getting more info and moving on from there?

 

Difficult to find what you are looking for these days, I was helping a person screen new drivers since I took some time off the road.

Not very rewarding and most are from way over yonder and he is here in Florida, this state is a dead zone for drivers or for drivers looking for work.

The Twilight Zone

 

Your drivers are your best recruiters. Keep them happy, and they will tell their friends. I personally never pay much attention to a companies recruiting efforts- it's all about what the drivers say. Too many companies lie, so any experienced driver is going to be jaded and cynical.

 

Sounds like it, I would take some runs for him but with only 7k miles running a reefer it would worry me to death that something I did would go wrong.

My buddy has a good rep just ran into a few bad apples and took some time for it to show up, not many people want to live here or run out of Florida for the most part.

 

I treat my drivers real good ,so they stay around longer.with out good drivers you will go broke .treat them as you want to be treated.i don't have a turn over of drivers .they are happy .if they need something i get it for them .they make a good living at what we do .its not hard work just tedious .

 

A company that lays out the 2 year requirement is always going to be hard pressed to find workers. At 2 years the drivers that were struggling to find good work will have found a company that was willing to take them with less time required.

Personally, I would find a different insurer. Try Ooida.com and ask if they have any recommendations.
