We are entering a new age of trucking. No longer are fleets operated entirely by truck drivers who have not only grown up in the industry, but they have literally been in the industry their entire lives. Instead, we find ourselves recruiting for drivers in a shrinking pool of applicants. Additionally, dispatchers are no longer former drivers.

You’ve lived through the period of high driver turnover, driver shortages, and relentless and expensive recruiting. The available drivers today are recruitment proof. They’ve heard all the promises – and many times they’ve been left with broken promises after accepting a job. Recruitment is no longer a game of marketing. Recruitment is now a process of transaction. The questions is no longer, “What do I have to do recruit more drivers today?” The question is, “What do we have to do to become the kind of company a driver wants to work for?” Today’s generation of drivers and dispatchers has a new set of expectations, has very little trucking experience, very little patience, is smart as a whip, and is extremely high-tech. However, most often, they have poor people skills and low attention spans. Dispatchers are sitting in cubicles dispatching people they’ve never met. Those people are doing a job the dispatcher doesn’t truly understand. Dispatchers need to be assimilated into this great culture of trucking.
