• Handle routine driver coaching, disciplinary conversations, and documentation
• Assist management with driver offboarding when necessary

What We're Looking For

• Previous CDL-A driver recruiting experience strongly preferred
• Proven ability to source drivers and build candidate pipelines - not just process incoming applicants
• Knowledge of CDL driver recruiting platforms, sourcing methods, and industry best practices
• Strong phone, communication, and follow-up skills
• Creative and proactive approach to finding qualified drivers
• Comfortable working directly with drivers and handling difficult conversations
• Organized and able to manage recruiting activity from initial contact through hire
