Questions for good driver?

No offence but in my book IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE IT you are not the person who should be HIRING them to DO IT.

And regardless of what you tell 90% of them all they see is a SHINY truck , 2 weeks later it sinks in , no you cannot take it home , sorry you do not go where you want to , sorry you do not use it as an RV for family vacation and then your the low life that LIED to them.

 

If you offer decent equipment, good hometime, decent pay, and people who won't lie, and will tell you the truth, you won't have to look for good drivers.
They will find you.....

 

if you give me a good job i will tell you what to say---it all comes down to making a piece of poop look like a gold nugget

 

It takes a certain amount of gumption to come to this forum and openly admit to being a recruiter.

Most good companies simply don't need recruiters because they rarely have any job openings and, when they do, they fill quickly.

The majority of good drivers are working for good companies.

A recruiter is nothing more than the HR version of a salesman. That's why a lot of experienced drivers don't care to talk to one.

So the question is .... what doeas your company offer to a "good" driver?

not to offend anyone... i thought the name said alot. sry

 

One of the biggest problems I have seen with large company's is lack of honesty.

It starts when they tell the driver he/she has a job, so they put in 2 weeks at former company and come to orientation.
After a day or so there the company decides that they cannot hire the person. Many times it is due to something that the driver was honest about with the recruiter, and they said it was not a problem.
Now the driver is stuck taking a bus home and has no job at all.
This is blatant lying to me. NEVER tell a driver he has a job when it is still in question.
All checks must be done prior to driver going to orientation.

Next do not blow smoke up their ##$$.
Be honest. If you will have a problem living up to the drivers expectations for miles, pay, or home time, then tell them. Sorry we are not the fit for you. Not every driver is a good fit for every job/company.
This is easy to figure out when you know the drivers wants, needs and expectations while in the recruiting process.
Be honest with each other and you can determine this and save both party's allot of money and time.

Do not offer a regional or dedicated run that the driver may not get when he/she is hired. I have seen this happen to many drivers. They will be told they will have a regional/ local run, but when they finish orientation they are told that the run is no longer available.

 

That's all you can ask of a recruiter

Don't lie
Get real answers
Tell it to them strait good or bad
