Profile For Ed A.

Apologies, this is my first post on the forum! I’m looking for some advice from experienced truck drivers, owner-operators, and trucking companies. I’m an HR consultant working with a trucking company in New Jersey, and one of my first projects is to improve and streamline their recruiting process. I’d really appreciate hearing what you look for in a job description or driver profile.

Drivers, what's your take? When you see a job post, what 3 things do you look for first? (Like, is the pay per mile or hourly? How often are you home? What's the biggest eye-roll moment you've had reading job ads? (Example: "Up to $2000/week!" ...but only if you never sleep) If you could upload your CDL and driving record once, and share it safely with jobs that actually match, would that save you headaches?

Fleet folks & owner-ops, we need your 2 cents too: What driver info do you wish you saw right away? (CDL class? Clean record? Willing to haul hazmat?) Should drivers closer to your routes see your jobs first? What's the most annoying thing drivers do when applying? (Like, no tanker endorsement but applying for tanker jobs?)
