What Truckers Think Will Help You Find More Drivers

Details
Category: Fleet Speak

You can’t understand a driver’s experience working for your company if you don’t ask them. You have drivers that come to work every day and enjoy working for you – if you could, you’d clone these drivers.

 There’s no ‘secret sauce’ to solving your driver problem, but these drivers hold some answers. In surveys taken by Truckers News and Overdrive Magazine, drivers were asked why fleets are having trouble finding drivers today. Chances are, the results of the survey would probably be similar to any internal survey you would conduct.

The key here will be understanding the ‘why’ behind these categories. Here are the categories reported on why drivers think fleets are having trouble finding drivers today:

• They don’t pay enough 78.6%
• They don’t respect drivers 67.6%
• They don’t get enough time at home 62.0%
• They don’t support their drivers 59.1%
• They don’t treat drivers like part of the team 50.6%
• They don’t offer enough miles/loads 37.3%
• There’s no career path 32.6%
• They don’t provide good trucks/equipment 19.7%

The lowest common denominator to these issues is that they measure your competency of being an effective trucking company.
