Why the very best fleets love TruckRight
TruckRight is independently-owned and built for truckers, by truckers, but do we really stand above and beyond the pack? Obviously, we like to think so.
We recently shared a list of the top ten reasons to choose TruckRight. But what do fleets who have already chosen us think? Is TruckRight really that much of a game changer?
See for yourself. Here are the top five reasons North America’s best fleets love TruckRight.
We’ve helped them crush their recruitment goals
Fleets have come to us with a nice problem to have: they’d grown fast and needed to hire qualified drivers quickly. We didn’t just make it easier to manage the hiring process – our software helped ensure they hired fully compliant drivers right out of the gate.
Our highly intuitive applicant tracking system made it easy for our clients to prequalify drivers, schedule interviews, gather all critical documents, and get people ready for onboarding, too (more on that in a moment). The result? TruckRight clients burned past their recruitment goals in record time, and without compromising on quality and safety either.
As Truline Corporation, a TCA-certified Elite Fleet, put it this way: “TruckRight made it so much easier to onboard new drivers. Anyone who has access can pull up a driver’s file, see all the notes attached, and decide if we want to move forward with them.” And on that note:
We’ve helped them become ultra-compliant
Compliance is crucial for every fleet. When they’re handling lumber, fuel, pharmaceuticals, or other sensitive freight, like many of our clients do, then staying fully compliant can get complicated.
TruckRight’s centralized and fully interactive driver qualification files make managing compliance easy for our clients. They’re able to easily track and monitor any missing compliance documents. They can set customized alerts for when compliance items are coming due. They also know that the personal and confidential info of their drivers is protected in a secure SOC-2 cloud environment. The result is that TruckRight fleets can gain and maintain a high level of compliance, and save hours of work every week as well.
Because TruckRight automates a lot of compliance tasks.
Parish Transport, a specialty hauler, noticed an immediate difference after switching to TruckRight. “Within weeks, we could see it was all going much better. DOT compliance and recruitment are much easier to manage now.”
We make onboarding drivers straightforward
TruckRight has also helped fleets drastically improve their onboarding times. Studies show that an efficient onboarding process can reduce employee turnover by as much as 82%, so for busy fleets, this is crucial. Our clients don’t just recruit the best drivers: they retain them for the long haul. So how do we help make this happen?
- Our intuitive software is incredibly easy for drivers to use. So everything – from the first application to the final signature – is simple and straightforward.
- Drivers can upload documents any time, from anywhere, with any device. This speeds up the onboarding process as well.
- Reusable e-signatures mean drivers can sign documents quickly and easily from the comfort of home – or while waiting at a loading dock, or wherever they happen to be.
- Remote training sessions cut down on unnecessary trips to terminals, for both drivers and trainers, and even let drivers make better use of their downtime.
- TruckRight is configurable to your needs, so it can be adapted to suit your recruiting and onboarding processes.
The result is an onboarding process that’s both speedy and efficient. Our clients get their drivers on the road faster, and are more likely to have them stick with them as well.
Kriska Transportation Group, a Best Fleets to Drive For winner and TruckRight client, says “the ease of controlling the volume of applications, which sometimes is in thousands per month, is incredible. TruckRight lets us filter via the quick app, saving hundreds of HR hours per year. It also automates basic tasks, giving us time to speak to drivers in person, which is vital.”
We put DQ file updates in your drivers’ hands
When we say TruckRight is user-friendly, we mean all users – including your drivers. Since TruckRight can be accessed anytime and anywhere, drivers can access their own information securely while they’re on the road. This means if they have a new CDL to upload, they can do so easily. If they have other compliance documents to upload or sign, they can submit those as well. From anywhere.
This empowers your drivers to keep their own DQ files up to date on their own time. It gives them more freedom, and makes it less likely they’ll feel “over-monitored” as well. As we all know, when drivers feel more respected, they’re more likely to stick around.
Boyle Transportation, a Best Fleets to Drive For Hall of Fame fleet, praises TruckRight for enabling drivers to digitally sign onboarding documents. “Drivers are also able to view their own DQ file, and see their MVR and PSP. Any background checks that we have, they’re able to view them.”
We’re a source of stability in the rollercoaster world of trucking
The recent acquisition of DriverReach by Tenstreet set off a wave of uncertainty. Fleets already have enough to worry about. The added stress being forced to switch their driver management software provider due to a corporate acquisition is something no one needs right now!
As an independent, family-owned company, we know these things will always be true at TruckRight:
- We believe driver churn is a cycle that can be broken.
- We believe all fleets can become fully compliant.
- We believe effective driver onboarding is key to driver retention.
- We’ll always be an independent software company.
We know recent shakeups in driver management software have left fleets feeling unsettled. These corporate moves have just made us more resolute that we’re doing things the right way. We hope you’ll agree, too.
There’s a lot of reasons the best fleets love TruckRight. If you’re ready to find out for yourself, let’s talk. Schedule your no-obligation demo of our software and see why you’ll love us as much as our clients already do.
