Job description

Charger Logistics Inc. is an asset-based, cross-border carrier operating across the US, Canada, and Mexico. With a growing fleet and an expanding network of terminals, we're looking for a Driver Recruiter who knows how to find great CDL drivers, build real relationships with them, and keep our trucks moving.

As a Driver Recruiter, you'll own the full recruitment cycle for CDL drivers — from sourcing and screening through onboarding. You'll be the first point of contact for drivers considering a career with Charger, and often the relationship they trust most throughout their time with us. This is a high-volume, fast-paced role for someone who thrives on connecting with people and closing out hires.

Job Duties:

• Manage full-cycle recruitment for CDL drivers across assigned lanes and terminals
• Source candidates through job boards (Indeed, Craigslist, internal ATS), cold calling, text/SMS outreach, and past-applicant databases
• Screen candidates: review MVR, PSP, and Clearinghouse records, verify employment history, confirm CDL/endorsements
• Conduct interviews to assess fit, experience, and driver expectations
• Coordinate drug screens, background checks, and road tests with compliance/safety teams
• Guide candidates through onboarding — offer details, pay structure, dispatch handoff, and start-date logistics
• Build lasting relationships with drivers post-hire to support retention and address early concerns
• Track requisition pipelines and hiring metrics across multiple open roles simultaneously
• Monitor competitor postings and market pay rates (e.g., NFI, Central Transport, Comprehensive Logistics, Centerline Drivers) to stay competitive in sourcing

Requirements:

• 3 to 5 years in safety & training (transportation industry preferred)
• Previous experience in driver training, recruitment and safety & compliance is an asset.
• Experience hiring drivers out of different states within the US is a must.
• Safety driven with expertise in HOS, DOT regulations, and driver welfare
• At least three years of truck driving experience is considered an asset.
• Must have solid understanding of the trucking industry.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Company Highlights:

• Asset-based carrier with a stable, growing network across the US, Canada, and Mexico

Benefits:

• Collaborative team environment with dedicated safety, compliance, and dispatch support
• Opportunity to make a real impact on driver experience and retention
• Competitive compensation and growth opportunities within a scaling organization
