Early and transparent communication leads to improved driver happiness and retention – especially in the first 90 days.

The GOOD NEWS is that developing a solid communication strategy is easier than you might think.
In this ebook based on one of our top-performing webinars of all-time, recruiting and retention experts share tangible ways your company can NAIL early and transparent new driver communication.

Ever wonder why drivers leave your company? Could your driver communication strategy be improved? When was the last time you asked your drivers for unscripted feedback? No matter how high your company’s driver turnover is, even a small improvement can dramatically (and positively) impact your bottom line. Gathering feedback directly from drivers is a foundational step for companies looking to improve their retention rate, but all too often it’s an afterthought. In collaboration with Workhound, this ebook shares tactics that will help you reverse the trend before your drivers move on.
By now, most carriers have a good handle on the basic requirements of the FMCSA’s Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse final rule. They know they’ll need to upload some violation data, obtain a pre-employment query on new drivers, and perform annual queries on all drivers, and they know that driver consent is required and that non-compliance is not an option. However, there are many components beyond the basic compliance questions that need to be addressed in the weeks and months to come. This ebook digs deeper – beyond basic compliance questions – and investigates some of the lesser noticed moving parts that may complicate a company’s DOT drug and alcohol testing program.
A fundamental shift in how carriers recruit and qualify drivers will occur on January 6, 2020. Safety will improve as drug and/or alcohol violations will be easier to identify, and as drivers who are ineligible to operate commercial motor vehicles are promptly removed from their driving responsibilities as a result. However, this improvement will come with a cost as carriers adapt to new rules. This ebook explores how companies need to prepare.
