Where have all the drivers gone in Dallas TX?
Gosh... I used to live in Dallas, I have been recruiting truck drivers for 16 yrs never ever did I have a hard time hiring drivers in the DFW area. I work form home (ohio) for a carrier in Irving TX (small company 35 trucks looking to grow our fleet) I am having a heck of time getting drivers. Pretty Awesome pay package. I believe the issue is running free ads? we are not being seen or we are at the bottom any thoughts ?
Hey i want to be a cdl driver soon. Im just barely getting my license now hopefully i pass it the 3rd time. I have big responsibilities in the next few years as i become one.
If 40-47cpm is a good deal your wrong most companies are going salary or load percentage. Others are offering 50,60,70 cpm as company drivers. As far as Dallas goes. If you don’t live there you can’t understand there is none stop construction morning and evening traffic are dangerous and long. It’s hard to maneuver through that town now and be safe. The tolls are higher in the morning and evening they changed based on how busy the roads is.
I know the freight not paying crap to come out of there
How is your pay and do you run the 48
Do you put people through driving school
CDL drivers are hard to find everywhere in the United States. DOT rules have gotten so strick that a veteran driver cannot make a decent living. I suggest that you start reading trucker magazines to get to the answer to your problems.
Perhaps your package is not as good as you think it is. Also has to do with you equipment you have. Experienced drivers don’t wanna drive crappy tequipment (freightliners) and drive 65 miles an hour in a 75 mph zone
I have a perfect driving record and over 20 years experience.
What can you offer me ?
How ya pay your team drivers we get 65 split. 4 cent extra every month safety. Throw it on me.what u pay.and we are home every weekend
Supply and demand. Lots of terminals in Dallas area means not enough drivers
