the life that you want the marriage that you want the money you want to make the family that you
want all will be fueled by the trucking business you build hi this is amrit and in today's video
i will be giving you five top tips on how to find truck drivers for your trucking business
so first tip is you want to first map out how many drivers do you exactly want to hire and it may be
very different for any of you you know any of you who are starting maybe looking for their first
driver some of you may have coupled trucks two 10 15 trucks and looking for three four drivers
and some of you may be having 200 500 000 trucks maybe looking for 200 drivers to hire and better
strategy it really doesn't matter because in all scenario you want to map and plan how many drivers
do you want to hire it may not seem like oh my god there's something to do but imagine if i left you
in a jungle and i said like get to the top of the hill and i didn't even tell you where the hill was
right now beneath this video what i've done is i've given you an excel um a spreadsheet which
you can download for yourself uh if you click on that link how i do it okay and it takes in
consideration of the size of your fleet how i map out those numbers second thing that you want to
do is draft the kind of driver that you want to hire okay because all of you guys may have
very different uh approach and the kind of driver that you're looking for okay some of you may look
for a driver that needs to haul a drive-in some of you are looking for a driver that can haul your
refrigerated load some of you may be looking for a driver for flatbed right all these are
different divisions of the trucking business where you need to find a driver that matches that right
like a dry van driver is going to be scared to come into flatbed because it involves tarping
securing the load versus also another driver that likes to be home every night you're looking for
a driver to run otr lanes right so write that all down what is the kind of driver that you're
looking for what is the pay that you're offering what is the home time going to look like what
kind of work they're going to be involved in okay and any bonuses that you may be giving to
write it down on a piece of paper for yourself again there's a link beneath this video where
you can download one example that i've done for you that you can implement that i already give to
so many trucking companies that work with us third tip is that do not ever start with posting on job
sites now why i say that is because job site is the first thing that anybody's mind comes into
when you think of oh i need this driver post fill this driver job filled let me go to a job site
however it may be true in any other position in the world that exists maybe a dispatch position
maybe a safety manager maybe a recruiter maybe a financial person in your business
yes in order to find those people you can go to a job site and you may have success
but not in finding drivers because drivers are in high demand and there's a massive shortage right
and i'm sure you're frustrated and that's how you found this video in first place so do not
start with job sites and the big reasons why you don't want to start there is as most carriers is
that's the place that they start with if you go to any major job site right now and you search up
truck driver jobs in your city wherever you're looking for you'll see there will be million
different companies looking for that same driver and most of the people most of the
training companies that are going to come on the top are offering some sort of sign-on bonus
hefty money that you probably can't compete with and if you can you probably can't pay money day in
and day out to that job site to stay on the very top to show your message show your ad so it's a
race to the bottom because now you're competing against wages that you can't probably offer
and you also have to spend money in order to stay on top of that page if you don't believe me do
an experiment post an ad right now and you'll see in an hour you won't be even able to find
your own ad it will be buried like 10 15 pages below it's just the nature of the game right now
because everybody wants drivers if you're running a trucking business so do not start with that now
a quick subsection of what i just mentioned do not also work with recruiting agencies or
marketing agencies how that works is like if any great driver is not going to want to a third-party
person in order to get to your trucking business they want to get the answers directly from you
and not only that these third-party companies or recruiters or leads or anybody who provides that
they don't have a silver bullet over what you know or what you have to offer a great driver
will always want to want answers directly from a trucking business if a driver wants to know
whether you have inward facing cameras outer facing cameras a recruiter cannot a third-party
recruiter can never answer those questions because there's million different questions like those
and if they're working with four to five different trucking companies they're just gonna mix it all
up and that ruins your reputation because they may hear one thing from them and then when they
talk to you the answer could be totally different and it happens all the time tip number four go
create a facebook business page now business page is completely separate and a different
entity than your personal profile amar than raj is my personal profile and then gettruckdrivers.com
is my facebook business page so i've included a link beneath this video which takes you to
and shows you exactly how to create the facebook business page it's not going to take you more than
five minutes to do it honestly once it's done it's done tip number five what you now need to
do is create a small video with your phone just hold your phone like this and record yourself
explaining in the video the driver that you're looking for and what are you offering it has to
be short it has to be quick and it has to get attention okay just keep that in mind and just
show yourself in there why video over anything else because video builds trust you know exactly
by watching this video what i look like how i move how i talk it subconsciously builds trust that's
the exact same thing what's going to happen when you create a video that goes to the drivers that
you're looking for because now they'll feel more trusted without even speaking or talking to you
once you've recorded that video put it on your facebook page and then boost it a little bit
what it will do is it will bring you drivers and you'll have the options of like who to target
what kind of drivers you're looking for it will give you the options very self-explanatory once
you start doing it what you will notice is it will give them the option to message you you'll see it
it will give them the option to message your page once you've started running that low video over
to the drivers in your hiring area or wherever you're looking for they can actually message your
page once they message your page you can actually talk to these drivers as you would text somebody
as your friend on your phone it's the exact same phenomena now you can text and talk to them and
see exactly if they are looking for what you're offering if they do guess what you have a driver
and the more drivers you talk and get talking with you the more drivers you're going to hire right
because every single driver that's out there is probably not looking for what you're offering but
may get intrigued by your message or by your video that's how you can hire a lot of good drivers that
actually align with who you're looking for and what you're looking for and the best way to have
great drivers is they're the company that they love what they're getting so i hope all these tips
