WIRED TO HIRE: TECHNOLOGY HELPS CARRIERS GAIN AN EDGE IN RECRUITING AND HIRING DRIVERS - AND KEEPING CURRENT RECORDS ON THEM AFTERWARD

摘要

When driver recruiter Mike Gross attended the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas last August, he brought a laptop with a cellular Internet connection. As Gross trolled through walkways filled with exhihitor booths and waded through a stream of drivers attending the trade show, he used his high-tech tools to set his hook at just the right moment. When meeting with drivers, Gross asked them to complete a Web-based job application. Within 15 minutes, Gross knew if the drivers were qualified based on their driving records and past work experience. He then scheduled a date to attend orientation at Hirschbach Motor Lines.
