@Hillarymhagen went on a rant today; and it's worth reading.... I sat down to write a recruiting ad and instead wrote a rant. I deleted it, rewrote it, deleted it again, and here we are. Apparently I've got something to say. STOP BLAMING DRIVERS FOR LEAVING JOBS THAT NEVER EXISTED. Trucking loves to complain about drivers jumping from company to company. Heck, I used to see it as a red flag on applications. But over the years I've realized job jumping is the SYMPTOM. Here's my hot take: TRUCKING DOESN'T HAVE A DRIVER LOYALTY PROBLEM. IT HAS A BROKEN PROMISE PROBLEM. Drivers aren't changing companies because they love orientation videos and drug tests. They're leaving because what they were sold and what they got were two different things. Then they're blamed for walking away. Companies keep peddling recruiting fairy tales, leaving drivers to figure out which promises are worth believing. At Hell Bent Xpress, I believe loyalty starts before the first load. It starts with telling the truth. NO BAIT. NO SWITCH. NO RECRUITING FAIRY TALES. Trucking isn't all sunshine and rainbows. Freight changes. Some weeks are better than others. Plans go sideways. Experienced drivers know that. We're not perfect, and we won't tell you whatever you want to hear just to get your ass in a truck. We'll tell you what you can realistically expect and let YOU decide if we're right for you. KEEPING DRIVERS SHOULDN'T START WITH BIGGER PROMISES. IT SHOULD START WITH KEEPING THE ONES YOU MAKE. And drivers? You deserve honest answers, but you've got to ask tough questions, too. Ask about the bad weeks. Ask what happens when plans fall apart. Don't let anyone sell you a dream without asking what happens when reality shows up. If you're considering Hell Bent Xpress, ask us those same questions. I'D RATHER HAVE AN EMPTY SEAT THAN FILL IT WITH A BROKEN PROMISE. Ready for a different recruiting conversation? Call me directly at 605-982-0284. End rant.
