Create an Intelligent Driver Retention System
________________
The D1 Coaching Program for Driver Retention and Recruiting is exclusively for motor carrier companies who are ready to create an advantage over their competition by attracting and keeping the most qualified drivers available today. Through this program, your company will receive the education, training and support to create a pipeline of drivers that want to know about the next open position, get them to commit and keep them. You will implement strategies effective for your specific organization, will know how to maintain and continue to improve moving forward, and will have achieved the best in class D1 Certified status as a motor company.
Currently there is a misconception that the driver shortage has been resolved because freight volumes are low, thus drivers have nowhere to ‘jump’ to. However, volumes will increase and issues will resurface. Carriers will not be able to keep up with demand and will lose loads, opportunities and perhaps customers all together. Or if freight volumes do not increase for your company, you will simply lose your drivers to companies that are getting the freight.
If you secure your future now, getting freight won’t be an issue, nor will be the ability to find and keep great drivers.

In the world of trucking in America, it is well recognized that all motor carriers are trying to hire drivers from the same diminishing pool of drivers. Once hired, too many leave after a short period of time for a variety of reasons. At the same time, the industry is throwing huge dollars at the retention problem and the turnover rate continues to rise to almost 100% annually.
When properly put into practice, the tactics and approach in this program, for companies in the states and worldwide, succeed in giving carrier companies and companies with fleets the tools to build a pipeline of qualified truck driver applicants that once hired, stay.
If you are tired of the revolving door of drivers, contact us today to learn more about the right program for your company.
