Register today for "Finding and Keeping Drivers in a Demand-Driven Job Market" webinar
Executives from three fleets share the driver recruiting and retention strategies that have propelled their companies to become some of the industry’s best, and how they plan to stay there. This complimentary CCJ webinar is sponsored by Bestpass.
The search for qualified drivers is a two-sided coin: there's finding them, and there's keeping them.
Whether it's the result of a driver shortage or high turnover, many fleets find themselves in a similar (and familiar) position: on a perpetual hunt for more truck drivers.
CCJ, in partnership with Bestpass, will bring together experts from three of trucking's top fleets to discuss "Finding and keeping drivers in a demand-driven job market"; a market where the number of fleets needing good drivers grossly outnumbers the total number of available labor force.
This complimentary hour-long webinar, which will include a live Q&A with the panelists, will be held Thursday, Aug. 11 at 2PM Central Time. Register here.
The panelists will touch on topics that include pay, evolving compensation plans, apprenticeships and more.
