@Josh Hicks I do need to arrange a call to ask you a question at your earliest convenience please

@Josh Hicks Okay will do!

My name is Darvin "Smoke" Phillips, Jr., founder of Irongate Driver Solutions, a virtual CDL driver recruiting business. I’m originally from Florida but currently based in Texas, where I work full-time as the Director of Human Resources & Safety Compliance for a construction and trucking company. By background, I’m also an Enrolled Agent. While I don’t currently represent clients before the IRS, that experience shaped how I think about compliance, documentation, systems, and risk management — all of which translate directly into recruiting, onboarding, and carrier relationships in this industry. I’m building Irongate Driver Solutions because I want: - Ownership over my income and time - To leverage my real-world HR, DOT, and compliance experience into a scalable business - To build a recruiting operation that values quality drivers, strong carrier relationships, and process-driven execution - To eventually transition away from relying solely on W-2 income and into a business that can grow beyond just me What I’m looking to gain from this Skool group: - Proven systems and frameworks for scaling a virtual recruiting operation - Insights on lead generation, placements, retainers, and client retention - Feedback from people who are actively building and refining recruiting businesses - Accountability, community, and fewer trial-and-error mistakes I’m here to contribute, learn, and execute. Looking forward to connecting with everyone and building alongside you all.
