Chad is passionate about helping trucking companies across the industry recruit and retain talented drivers through operational changes that help your company stand out from the crowd.
Have you ever been in talks with a driver and they completely disengaged from the conversation, and you weren’t sure why? Or had a driver fail to show at orientation and completely ghost you? In this solo episode of Recruit and Retain: Trucking Edition podcast, Chad discusses why sales skills can be the key to avoiding this problem, and learn tips for helping to steer the conversation in a more positive direction.

- Why there is a severe lack of training for recruiters, and why your conversations with drivers sets the tone for the entire interaction
- Why the finish line for a recruiter isn’t when the driver shows up for orientation or achieve a service milestone but rather when you receive a referral

- Chad shares an example of how to have a conversation with a driver about mileage disparities between carriers
- Why it is important to keep in mind that the person who is asking the questions is in control of the conversation
- Why you should collect stories from successful drivers to share with new candidates to show that everyone matters
