| Advertisement | | | | The ELD (electronic logging device) mandate sparked an incredible year of transition for the trucking and logistics industry, as trucking companies of all sizes scrambled to make sure they were ELD compliant following the Dec. 16, 2017 deadline. On that date, all drivers were required to upgrade to an ELD solution by the FMCSA, who provided a list of vetted, preferred ELD providers as a helpful guide. Simple enough, right? Not exactly. Some providers shut down in the middle of the year, leaving the market and abandoning their customers.

There are many things relating to that occupation in the industry that are sensitive. More carriers are looking for qualified drivers and less drivers can fill the open positions - making for a highly competitive and turbulent job market. Also, driver recruiters are now even more under pressure to be selective. With ever increasing public scrutiny, brands must associate with drivers that intrinsically harmonize with their values. When driver recruiting is not in line with current regulatory compliance standards, more issues can complicate and slow down the process and even cripple a carrier fleet. | | Read More |
