Small Hazmat/Tanker Carrier
When the Director of Operations at a small hazmat/tanker carrier in El Dorado, Arkansas, first came to us, he was juggling it all. With a fleet of 30-35 drivers, he was personally handling everything from safety and recruiting to compliance and operations. This “wearing of many hats” left him feeling overwhelmed and lacking the confidence to focus on strategic improvements, such as streamlining his Hazmat training program to get drivers on the road faster.
His recruiting efforts were inefficient and costly. He was spending $8,500 a month but was only getting a handful of applicants, with just 5 qualified leads and 1 monthly hire. He knew he needed a change to streamline his business and get his trucks rolling, but he couldn’t do it alone.
By partnering with us for a Campaign Management solution, he completely outsourced the burden of recruiting and compliance. The results were transformative. His monthly recruiting spend was cut to $4,000, resulting in a $4,500 recruiting budget saved. He began attracting a flood of new applicants, with qualified leads increasing from just 5 to 28 per month. This translated into a remarkable improvement in his hiring rate, with monthly hires jumping from 1 to 5.
The time saved allowed him to move new drivers through orientation in a fraction of the time, getting them on the road faster and directly increasing his company’s revenue. He transformed his business and his life by partnering with a dedicated recruiting team to get the right drivers in the door.
