What are the responsibilities and job description for the Driver Recruiter position at Charger Logistics Inc?
Charger Logistics Inc. is an asset-based, cross-border carrier operating across the US, Canada, and Mexico. With a growing fleet and an expanding network of terminals, we're looking for a Driver Recruiter who knows how to find great CDL drivers, build real relationships with them, and keep our trucks moving.
As a Driver Recruiter, you'll own the full recruitment cycle for CDL drivers — from sourcing and screening through onboarding. You'll be the first point of contact for drivers considering a career with Charger, and often the relationship they trust most throughout their time with us. This is a high-volume, fast-paced role for someone who thrives on connecting with people and closing out hires.
Job Duties:
- Manage full-cycle recruitment for CDL drivers across assigned lanes and terminals
- Source candidates through job boards (Indeed, Craigslist, internal ATS), cold calling, text/SMS outreach, and past-applicant databases
- Screen candidates: review MVR, PSP, and Clearinghouse records, verify employment history, confirm CDL/endorsements
- Conduct interviews to assess fit, experience, and driver expectations
- Coordinate drug screens, background checks, and road tests with compliance/safety teams
- Guide candidates through onboarding — offer details, pay structure, dispatch handoff, and start-date logistics
- Build lasting relationships with drivers post-hire to support retention and address early concerns
- Track requisition pipelines and hiring metrics across multiple open roles simultaneously
- Monitor competitor postings and market pay rates (e.g., NFI, Central Transport, Comprehensive Logistics, Centerline Drivers) to stay competitive in sourcing
- 3 to 5 years in safety & training (transportation industry preferred)
- Previous experience in driver training, recruitment and safety & compliance is an asset.
- Experience hiring drivers out of different states within the US is a must.
- Safety driven with expertise in HOS, DOT regulations, and driver welfare
- At least three years of truck driving experience is considered an asset.
- Must have solid understanding of the trucking industry.
- Proficient with Microsoft Office.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
- Asset-based carrier with a stable, growing network across the US, Canada, and Mexico
- Collaborative team environment with dedicated safety, compliance, and dispatch support
- Opportunity to make a real impact on driver experience and retention
- Competitive compensation and growth opportunities within a scaling organization
