Drivers come and go. Accident, failed drug test, death, family, cdl suspension, retirees? Give it some time, a spot will open.

Even here, with only 75 sleeper trucks, we lose about 2 every month, mostly medical and retirement. With that said, however, we can afford to be choosy. The megas? If they only lost 2.5% a month, they would rejoice... but they would still need up to 500 bodies every month to fill their seats.
EDIT: I just went back and looked up the carrier. If they only needed to replace 2.5% every month, that would amount to 282 drivers every month. I wouldn't worry about them not hiring this week, because next week they will need 65 more bodies. And the next week. And the next week. And that's only at 2.5%/month (an incredibly low 30% turnover rate per annum).Last edited: Aug 16, 2022

USX/Variant has 6,058 drivers, and currently runs at a 150% turnover rate. That equates to hiring 9,097 new hires a year, or needing 175 new drivers every week to fill 5,428 trucks.
I have called drivers based upon lead apps and been told that they were not only bombarded by phone calls, but the callers never read anything past their name and phone number. I guess if my department needed to hire 175 drivers every week, we wouldn't have time to read beyond the names, either. It also makes me wonder exactly how large their recruiting departments have to be in order to process that many applications.Another Canadian driver, Vic Firth and jethro712 Thank this. -
