What do drivers want? Find out in this webinar.
What do truck drivers want? That's the million dollar question; a code that only a few carriers have managed to crack consistently.
In partnership with Lytx, CCJ this spring surveyed its company driver and leased owner operator audiences to find out what makes them tick (and what ticks them off).
Join us for a live webinar Aug. 1 at 1 p.m. CT and hear from two successful fleets – Garner Trucking (a perennial CarriersEdge Best Fleet to Drive For) and Crawford Trucking (a new carrier to crack the Best Fleets list) – as we discuss how they balance the wants and needs of new and existing drivers within their operations. Joining the discussion will be Elroy Whyte, himself a professional driver.
