    Are you competitive? Are you advertising? Even huge companies pay independent recruiters thousands per driver to get someone to orientation. Bottom line, though, is if you aren't competitive with pay, benefits and equipment, your not going to get Tier 1 or even Tier 2 drivers. I once recruited a driver broken down at a rest area. Craigslist is your friend as well.

    I looked up your help wanted ads here. Your not looking for truck drivers, your looking for expediters. You also haven't answered many questions posted by others, which leads one to assume you're just another 1099 employer trying to skirt the law. BTW, 20% is rather low for percentage, especially in an industry that runs HUGE dead head percentages. There are very obvious reasons you can't find drivers.

    I sold my rig and if all goes well my pay offered is 25% of the load, while that may sound low to some, but we are talking loads that pay over 5.00 per mile.

    An offer of good pay is subjective.

    Many different threads looking for driver and many unanswered questions in all of them. :(

    This is a FedEx straight truck gig and season is busy now. So what happens when the season slows down... No wonder you're looking for drivers... Reading the other posts you seem like a nice lady that wants to take care of drivers but you don't anwser any questions. Strange.


    Good luck with your search.

    Just the states you'd consider hiring out of.
