I was just getting ready to walk out the door when you posted this.

I do not pay anyone to recruit for any companies. If anyone here in the forum is getting a sign-on bonus for recruiting, I am unaware of it.

We encourage everyone to promote their company if they're happy working there because our job is to help people get their careers off to a great start. Everyone wins when good recruits go to good companies.

But I do not pay anyone to recommend a company.

Brandon G., I can attest to this, personally. I've helped get Kerry on with DML (Dutch Maid Logistics) where he still thrives, and newly, Kevin L., with Witte Bros., where you can see his diary in that section, beginning. I've had many years in the industry, married to a 2 plusmillion miler, and I help out where and as I can. So do the others, on this site.

Most folks are 'ambassadors' for the companies they either work for, or know well. I brag about Tom's company often, (also his prior ones,) and will share information, as people ask...as well. No recruiting here.

I've not received (nor has Brett) any revenue nor reciprocity for helping either person, get on with a solid company.

Now, if Brett would ever get a 'merch line' going . . . there could BE some revenues!! :)

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

While most companies offer some sort of referral bonus for new recruits, I do not share my driver code, because it feels icky to me. I want someone to come to Prime because they WANT TO and it's the right situation for them, not to get a referral bonus.

Kickbacks?! rofl-2.gif rofl-2.gif

Sometimes you spend so much time writing up responses and you don't even get a thank you

When I was at Schneider, one of the instructors told us about a driver who was a super salesman. One year he got more in referral bonuses for recruiting new drivers than his driving wages were.

I thought the OP wasn't asking whether the site pays anyone, but what the site's sources of revenue are. We see that company-sponsored training programs buy banner ads here, but does the site receive a commission, for example, when applicants enroll through this link.

Company-sponsored Training:

A Company-Sponsored Training Program is a school that is owned and operated by a trucking company.

The schooling often requires little or no money up front. Instead of paying up-front tuition you will sign an agreement to work for the company for a specified amount of time after graduation, usually around a year, at a slightly lower rate of pay in order to pay for the training.

If you choose to quit working for the company before your year is up, they will normally require you to pay back a prorated amount of money for the schooling. The amount you pay back will be comparable to what you would have paid if you went to an independently owned school.

Company-sponsored training can be an excellent way to get your career underway if you can't afford the tuition up front for private schooling.

The companies pay a monthly fee for us to send applications their way, but it's not based on how many people go to work for the company. It's just a straight monthly fee, whether they hire one person or a thousand. The fee is always the same.

So we have no incentive to send people to one company over another. If someone recommends a certain company, it's not because they have a financial incentive to do so.
