The transportation industry has been inundated with challenges in recent years. The rise of e-commerce caused demand for trucking services to skyrocket. However, many transportation companies struggle to find the qualified drivers they need.

Along with pervasive talent shortages, events like the COVID-19 pandemic led to additional uncertainty. Demand continues to shift, and not all transportation companies are keeping up effectively.

Luckily, it is possible to make significant headway quickly. By partnering with Premium Transport Staffing, Inc. (PTS®), you can get the recruitment and hiring support you need, all the while streamlining processes and enhancing the quality of your results. If you are wondering what PTS® can do for you, here’s just some of the benefits your trucking company can experience.

Expedited Quality Hiring

When you need to find a qualified driver, you usually need one as quickly as possible. Traditional hiring processes are lengthy, requiring time to locate candidates, screen resumes, interview job seekers, and extend an offer. It isn’t uncommon for hiring to take several weeks, and that might be time you don’t have.

By partnering with PTS®, you can get quality, pre-vetted candidates quickly. PTS® handles all of the screening as well as maintaining a robust network of qualified professionals, allowing PTS® to tap a pool of available talent whenever the need arises. This significantly expedites hiring or assisting with On-Demand 24/7 needs, ensuring you can get the driver you need faster than ever before.

Flexible, Scalable Solutions

PTS® offers a wide range of hiring solutions. Along with recruiting candidates for permanent positions with your trucking company, they can also provide you with temporary drivers during your peak season or short-term fill-in talent to cover unexpected employee absences.

Essentially, by partnering with PTS®, you can right-size your staff at any moment. You’ll never have to worry about trucks sitting idle or a lack of qualified drivers when seasonal demand spikes. Plus, when you need to scale back, you can do so in an instant, ensuring your workforce is optimized at all times.

Risk Reduction

Employer risks are often hard to manage. Along with taxes, benefits, and insurance, you also have to deal with safety and compliance issues. Together, this can be incredibly cumbersome and startlingly costly.

By working with PTS®, you can mitigate many of these risks. PTS® will remain the employer of record for many of your drivers, taking on the responsibilities that come along with it. As a bonus, this limits your administrative burden as well, freeing up your staff to focus on other tasks.

Safety Improvements

PTS® takes safety seriously. At PTS®, our agency provides safety training in compliance with all major standards, including OSHA, DOT, FMCSA, and California Highway Patrol. Not only does this protect our drivers, but also our partner companies. Essentially, it creates a win-win, one where everyone works together to keep each other safe.
