When speaking with a driver, I highlight why working with ME a Third Party, is so valuable to them, as a driver. This makes the drivers value me and return more calls to the companies and me, especially when they know:
- that I do not send their applications everywhere, only to the places that the driver feels is a good fit.
- If there isn't anything, then I will call back when there is or have them call in every few weeks.
- I do let them know that we work with and that I am an agent for many companies and not just one or two, so I have access to many jobs and runs not publicly available. Not just for one or two companies. Therefore, we can shoot them straight and do not have to lie for a hire.
- We can shop jobs with the driver without the other companies knowing. This ensures that we are getting the best available job in that driver's area that matches his qualifications and needs. No wasted time on jobs that do not!
- These things build trust and let the driver know that you are there to work for them and not the carriers so much. They like this. Especially knowing that you are not blasting their info to jobs they do not want or qualify for.
Make them feel like you are their concierge service for all things jobs!
