When did we start treating drivers like a number on a lead list? Drivers aren’t leads. They’re people. People expect a personalized experience in everything they do. Why shouldn’t that include finding a job?  For truck drivers, their job is not just all about the work. They take pride in their profession. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a commitment. It’s about feeling they belong, and they’re valued. Changing the industry starts by making hiring personal again and understanding what drivers are actually looking for in a job. It’s about getting to know each driver on a personal level and delivering a job that will not only meet their professional qualifications but also match their desired lifestyle.

Throughout this presentation, Beth will share data on exactly what drivers want and how companies can change their hiring strategy to meet their needs. Attend this session to learn:

  • How to develop a personalized experience for drivers.
  • How to evolve or overhaul your hiring process to make it driver-centric.
  • How to develop and evolve your company branding and employee value proposition. We will discuss how important these are in building relationships as well as share case study examples for best practices to follow. We are reaching out to carriers to help us present their case study live at the event.
  • How to collect and respond to driver feedback, both positive and constructive. This is incredibly valuable to differentiate yourself as an employer. Participants will receive survey data from drivers on common reasons why they are not interested in a job including what drivers look for, what drivers like, and what drivers don’t like.
