  1. We used Tailwind TMS when we were just starting out. It’s budget-friendly and has the basics you need for dispatching.
  2. I use the Samsara app. It’s really helpful for real-time tracking and quick updates when I’m not in the office.
  3. We still use an on-premise system for better control over data security, but it’s more costly to maintain and doesn’t offer the same flexibility.
  4. Same here. We use Geotab for ELDs and it integrates smoothly with our dispatch software. It cuts down on manual data entry.
  5. We’ve been using McLeod. It’s more affordable than some of the bigger names and still has all the features we need for a fleet our size.
  6. Make sure the job board has good filtering options so you can target the right audience. It’s also helpful if they offer candidate alerts when someone with specific certifications applies.
  7. We’ve had success with JazzHR. It’s simple, mobile-friendly, and drivers can apply without too much hassle.
  8. We do the same with our CRM. It helps us stay on top of passive candidates and keep them in the pipeline for future roles.
  9. Same here. We’ve also found Craigslist surprisingly effective for local and regional driver recruitment, with a low cost-per-post.
  10. HubSpot CRM is another good option. It’s free for small teams and helps with email marketing and tracking interactions.
  11. Lever’s reporting tools are excellent as well. You can create custom reports and track every part of the recruiting funnel in real-time.
  12. We also use Indeed for volume, but specialized boards like JobsInTrucks tend to yield higher-quality candidates.
  13. We use separate systems. The ATS is for immediate hiring needs, while the CRM helps us nurture leads for future recruitment.
  14. We use Bullhorn, which integrates easily with major job boards. It reduces manual entry and keeps everything centralized.
  15. I’d recommend Breezy HR. It’s great for smaller teams and has a simple interface with all the essential features.
  16. We focus on building relationships with drivers already certified in those areas by offering bonuses and training opportunities for further specialization.
  17. Same here. We also use data to determine the best times and days to post job ads based on driver engagement patterns.
  18. I agree. We also add a personal touch by following up with a phone call after the email to strengthen the connection and get better engagement.
  19. I think they work best when combined with online efforts. We gather leads at fairs and then follow up with digital campaigns to keep them engaged.
  20. LinkedIn works well for us, especially for management and specialized positions. We also engage in trucking groups to build awareness.
  21. Agreed. Including a direct call-to-action like “Apply Now” and highlighting any unique perks has helped increase our conversion rates.
  22. We also sponsor training programs at trucking schools, which helps us get in front of students early and build brand recognition.
  23. We do the same. It’s also helpful to offer a smaller reward for just submitting a lead, even if the candidate isn’t hired, to keep the referrals coming.
  24. Same here. We also use social media to attract attention and direct potential candidates to our website’s job application form.
  25. I agree. We’ve also found Facebook and LinkedIn ads to be great for targeting specific demographics and getting leads quickly.
