Driver Recruitment and Retention

We take a broad consultative approach to selecting, training and retaining driving capacity.

Few transportation industry issues are as vexing as the chronic driver shortage. Quality drivers are difficult to find, and even more difficult to retain. As a result, trucking companies have resorted to drastic measures and significant cost to fill the need.

Marsh can help. We take a broad consultative approach to selecting, training and retaining driving capacity — whether company or independent contractor. Our comprehensive diagnosis determines areas of improvement in your company practices in recruiting, onboarding, driver relations, and organizational structure.
