“Your goal should be to stand out from every other trucking company. If your job postings match everybody else’s, change it to match your unique values.”- Chad Hendricks
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
- Differentiating your company from other trucking companies so you stand out in the minds of drivers
- Why you need a plan for tracking the success of your marketing efforts
- Driver shortage: an industry problem that doesn’t have to be a problem for your company
- The elements of most trucking job postings that make them all look the same
- Safety: why this is no longer a benefit that you can offer drivers and has become a bare minimum requirement
- Why you’re turning people away by putting driver requirements in your job ads (and why what they require from your company is more important than what you require of them)
- Figuring out what your company believes in, changing your operations to match those beliefs, and then communicating those beliefs to current drivers and recruits
- Vision, values, and brand: how to separate your company from your competition by focusing on these in every area of your business
