The trucking industry has long been plagued by high turnover rates. While driver shortages are partly to blame, the larger issue stems from an over-reliance on traditional recruitment strategies that prioritize filling positions quickly over finding the right match. This approach leads to a cycle of the same drivers moving between companies, exacerbating turnover rates and increasing the cost of hiring.
"Revolutionizing Recruitment: Strategies for Lowering Costs & Reducing Turnover" equips you with the tools to transform your approach to recruitment, reduce costs, and build a more resilient future for your fleet.
