Driver recruiting services for carriers

Driver recruiting that fills the seat once.

Not three times a year. We source, screen and onboard CDL drivers, owner operators and office staff — then stay on the hire through ninety days, where the real cost of a bad hire lands. Free replacement if the driver leaves inside 30 days.

  • Finalists only

    MVR, employment verification, drug and alcohol Clearinghouse, references. You spend your time on drivers who already cleared everything.

  • A DQ file built right the first time

    Every document, in the right order, before the truck moves. Audit letters are expensive in a way recruiting invoices are not.

  • Free replacement inside 30 days

    If the driver leaves early, we source, screen and onboard again at no additional cost. We'd rather carry that risk than argue about whose fault it was.

  • 30, 60 and 90 day check-ins

    With both sides, by name. Most resignations are visible a month out if somebody is actually asking the question.

  • Drivers, owner operators and office staff

    Including dispatchers, safety managers and billing. A carrier short a dispatcher loses more money than one short a driver.

  • Four more departments behind the hire

    Dispatch, safety, fleet and accounting run in-house. The reasons your last driver quit have owners here, not referrals.

What we need from you

  • The real pay structure, including what comes out of it. A seat described generously recruits fast and empties faster.
  • A decision-maker who answers within a day. Good drivers are gone in 48 hours, and the market is not waiting on your callback.
  • Honesty about the hard parts of the lane. We can recruit for a tough run; we can't recruit for a tough run described as an easy one.
  • An orientation date we can actually put people on.

How it works if you hire

  1. 1

    We learn the seat, not just the job title

    Lanes, equipment, pay structure, home time, who the driver will be talking to every day. The more honest this call is, the longer the hire lasts.

  2. 2

    We source and screen; you meet finalists only

    MVR, employment verification, Clearinghouse, references. You spend your time on people who already cleared everything, not on a stack of applications.

  3. 3

    We onboard, then check in at 30, 60 and 90

    DQ file, orientation, first dispatch. Then the three calls that catch problems early — and if the driver still leaves inside 30 days, we replace him at no charge.

Driver retention, not just placement

Most recruiters hand you a driver and disappear

We also run the dispatch, the safety and the payroll that driver walks into.

Nobody quits "a company". They quit short miles, a dispatcher who doesn't pick up, a paycheck that's wrong twice in a row, and a truck that sits for four days. A recruiting agency can promise to care about those. It can't do anything about any of them.

  • Short miles, no answer from dispatch

    Owned by FLX Dispatch

    Load planning and a dispatcher who answers is a department here, not a vendor we refer you to.

  • Pay that's late, or wrong

    Owned by FLX Accounting

    Settlements, deductions and escrow handled by people in the same building as the recruiter who made the promise.

  • DOT paperwork landing on the driver

    Owned by FLX Safety

    DQ files, Clearinghouse, logs and audits are somebody's job already, so they never become the driver's.

  • Truck down, nobody coordinating

    Owned by FLX Fleet

    Breakdown desk, shop vetting and PM scheduling, so downtime stops being the driver's problem to solve on the shoulder.

Free replacement inside 30 days

If a driver we placed leaves within the first 30 days, we source, screen and onboard a replacement at no additional cost. We'd rather carry that risk than argue about whose fault it was.

Inside FLX

One of five departments. Not one of five vendors.

The sphere you've been following is one body in a system. FLX Trucking runs five departments for American carriers, and a driver placed by one of them is supported by the other four from day one.

  • FLX Recruiting

    You are here

    Sourcing, screening, onboarding and retention of drivers and office staff.

  • FLX Dispatch

    Load planning, negotiation and a dispatcher who answers the phone.

  • FLX Safety

    DOT compliance, DQ files, Clearinghouse, logs, audits and CSA scores.

  • FLX Fleet

    Breakdown coordination, shop vetting, PM schedules and warranty claims.

  • FLX Accounting

    Settlements, invoicing, IFTA and the paperwork behind getting paid.

Questions people actually ask

What does a truck driver recruiting service actually do?

Sourcing, screening and onboarding — and, done properly, the retention work after. That means finding candidates outside the job boards everyone else is bidding on, verifying MVR, employment history and Clearinghouse, building the DQ file, scheduling orientation, and following up at 30, 60 and 90 days so the hire you paid for is still in the seat.

How long does it take to fill a seat?

It depends on the lane, the pay and the equipment far more than on us — a competitive seat in a dense market moves quickly, a hard one takes longer. We'll give you an honest read on the first call, including when the answer is that the job itself needs to change before anyone takes it.

What happens if the driver leaves?

If a driver we placed leaves within 30 days, we replace him free of charge — sourcing, screening and onboarding again at no additional cost. We'd rather carry that risk than spend a week arguing about whose fault it was.

Do you recruit owner operators as well as company drivers?

Yes, and the two are different jobs. Owner operators are choosing a business arrangement, not a wage, so the conversation is about percentage or rate, fuel and insurance, trailer access, lane consistency and what gets deducted. Pitching them like company drivers is why most of those recruitments fail.

Can you recruit office staff too?

Yes — dispatchers, safety managers, billing and back office. Same process: sourced, screened, onboarded, checked in on. A carrier that's short a dispatcher loses more money than one that's short a driver, and it's the role people most often try to fill by accident.

What do you charge?

It depends on the role and the volume, and we'd rather quote you something real than put a number on a web page that turns out not to apply. One call is enough for us to give you a figure and for you to decide.

Tell us which side of the windshield you're on.

Three fields. No resume upload, no account, no ten-page application. Everything else is a conversation, and we'll have it when it suits you.
