As a driver, I know what it’s like on the road and I know that everyone here at Marvin Keller Trucking appreciates what you do each and every day.
You are an important part of why we are successful. Our success is due to a combination of thorough pre and post-trip inspections, on-time deliveries, safe driving skills, and the friendly, professional way you treat our customers. These are all part of the reason why our customers continue to trust us with their freight. So much so that they are tendering more and more freight our way. How can we ensure to benefit from the influx of freight? By hiring more drivers!
How can you help?
In recruiting, Kyler and I reach out to prospective drivers on a daily basis in an attempt to grow our fleet. We have great success in recruiting drivers, but with such a booming market, we are requesting all hands on deck.
We believe that our drivers make excellent recruiters. Your past efforts in referring drivers have been a great driving force in growing our fleet. We find driver testimonials outperform advertisements on job boards because it gives a personalized effect. We are inclined to reward you for sharing your personal message of why you chose Marvin Keller Trucking and why you choose to remain a part of this great team. Your personal touch will go a lot farther with potential drivers.
Not sure where to start? We got you.
We often hear from referrals that have spoken with one of our drivers who are really happy with Marvin Keller but when asked they cannot remember the driver’s name. We can help with that – business cards with your name and MK contact information. This way when the referral calls us they have all the information on who they spoke with. If you wish to order business cards to assist in approaching possible recruits, your driver manager or I will be happy to assist you.
How the Driver Referral Program works.
If someone that lives within our inclusive hiring area calls in to speak with someone in recruiting and completes an application you will receive a $100 application bonus, 500 MK Pro Points, and The MK Referral Badge. You do not need to screen the referral, we will do that for you.
Once the driver is hired, you can receive up to an additional $1000. The first $500 will be paid out to you once the driver has completed their first dispatch. Then after they have driven 90 days with us you receive $250. The remaining $250 will be paid out after they have driven 120 days (6 months) with us.
The bonus is available for referring all types of drivers, including experienced drivers, student drivers, or even drivers that wish to get their CDL. We have an IN-House Training Program for those drivers wishing to get their CDL Class A license. If you have any questions about that program please don’t hesitate to call me.
