As a professional driver, you know what it takes to succeed on the road. Now you have the chance to help others experience that success, all while earning great rewards. Referring new drivers to Marvin Keller is not just a chance to grow our elite fleet, it’s an opportunity for you to share your valuable insights and get rewarded throughout the process!
In this article, we’ll discuss the ways you can get involved in recruitment, clear up common misconceptions about hiring more drivers, and highlight just how simple and rewarding it can be to refer others to MK.
How can you help?
Your experience as a professional driver is invaluable. By sharing your story, you have the power to inspire others to join our team, giving them an authentic perspective on the work culture and benefits of being part of Marvin Keller. Word of mouth is a powerful tool—your testimonials resonate much more than advertisements. You’ve been through the process, you understand the work culture, and you know the benefits that Marvin Keller provides. When you share your positive experiences, it helps others feel more confident and assured about joining.
Addressing Common Misconceptions
In regards to referring and MK hiring more divers, we understand there may be some doubts or misconceptions. Let’s address the common ones:
“There won’t be enough freight to move”
Some drivers may worry that more drivers means less freight. However, rest assured, Marvin Keller has a steady and consistent flow of loads, and our customer team continually seeks new opportunities. More drivers mean more flexibility, better routes, and more opportunities for everyone.
“If I refer a driver who doesn’t perform well, it will reflect badly on me”
We understand this may be a concern, but here’s the good news: you will not be penalized for their actions. You are only responsible for your performance, and referring someone doesn’t make you accountable for their behavior. All leads are good leads – so do not hesitate to refer someone just because you’re unsure about their potential. We conduct a comprehensive interview process to evaluate candidates’ qualifications and ensure they align with our culture.
