Placing drivers across the Midwest and beyond

Recruiting agencies hand Fillfleet the drivers they could not seat. Fillfleet places each one with a carrier hiring now, runs every step, and pays the agency two weeks after the driver starts, and again at four weeks while the driver is still driving.

Free for agencies. Carriers pay per hire, only while the driver stays.

Two weeks after the driver starts, and again at four weeks if he is still driving.

Sound familiar?

Every recruiter with a good driver and nowhere to send them knows these seven weeks. Scroll through them. Each one ends differently on Fillfleet.

  1. 01The bench
    “I’ve had a Class A with a tanker endorsement ready since Tuesday. Nobody is calling me back.”
    On Fillfleet

    Photograph the licence. The same day, Fillfleet checks the driver against every open seat on the board and sends them to the carriers that fit. You do nothing else.

    How a hand-over works
  2. 02The silence
    “Sent the résumé Monday. Called recruiting twice. It’s Friday.”
    On Fillfleet

    Carriers answer Fillfleet within a day, or get nudged until they do. You read the answer in your dashboard, not in a voicemail.

    How carriers answer
  3. 03The poach
    “I did all the work, and then: ‘another agency sent him yesterday.’”
    On Fillfleet

    The first agency to submit a driver holds them for 45 days. While you hold them, nobody else can place them. Anywhere.

    The 45-day hold
  4. 04The paperwork
    “Med card, MVR, drug screen, orientation hotel. I’m a recruiter, not a travel agent.”
    On Fillfleet

    Fillfleet collects every document, books the drug test and the orientation, and chases whoever is late. You confirm. Fillfleet runs.

    Every step, run for you
  5. 05The invoice
    “They said net 30. It’s day 70 and now they’re arguing about the fee.”
    On Fillfleet

    There is nothing to invoice. You are paid two weeks after the driver starts, and again at four weeks if he is still driving. The amount is agreed once, when you join, before any driver.

    How you are paid
  6. 06The quit
    “He lasted eleven days. Now they want the money back.”
    On Fillfleet

    If a driver leaves early, the later payments simply never happen. What you were paid stays yours, nothing is argued about, nothing is owed.

    What happens if they leave
  7. 07The phone
    “Fourteen carriers. Fourteen recruiting numbers. Fourteen forms.”
    On Fillfleet

    One counterpart. You talk to Fillfleet. Fillfleet talks to every carrier, and tells you what happened.

    One counterpart

None of those weeks happen on Fillfleet. Have a driver you cannot place? Hand them over.

Hand over a driver

How it works

Placement breaks down in the same places every time: the paperwork, the carrier who never answers, the fee nobody agreed. Fillfleet owns all three.

  1. 01

    Hand over a driver

    Photograph the licence. Fillfleet reads it, you confirm, and the driver is on file in under a minute. No résumé, no carrier to call.

    Fillfleet places them

    Every open job is scored against the driver in plain words. Fillfleet sends them to the carriers that fit and runs every step through to the first day.

    Fillfleet talks to both carriers, chases the slow one, books the drug test and orientation, and tells the agency what happened. The agency never compares carriers by fee.

    You are paid as they stay

    You are paid two weeks after the driver starts, and paid again at four weeks if they are still driving. Nothing to invoice, nothing to chase.

    Leaves early? You keep what was paid
    The second payment simply never happens. Nobody asks for the first one back.

Before and after

Most placements die in a text thread. Nobody owns the paperwork, nobody agreed the fee, and the driver walks while two people wait on each other. Here is the same week run through Fillfleet.

Five days of texting between two people who both had other jobs to do. Nobody was paid.

For recruiting agencies

The leads you wrote off are your best margin.

Every agency has drivers it could not seat: wrong state, wrong equipment, no carrier relationship. Hand them to Fillfleet and watch each one move, with your share and its dates on the driver’s page.

  • Photograph a licence. Fillfleet reads it and checks every open job before you save.
  • Import a whole lead sheet at once; duplicates and claimed drivers are flagged before anything is sent.
  • One home screen: who is where, what needs you, what you are owed and when.

For carriers

Seats filled. Paid only if they stay.

Post a job with your requirements. Candidates arrive from Fillfleet already checked against them, one counterpart for all of them. Accept or decline from your inbox.

  • Every candidate carries a fit score in plain words, never a forwarded résumé.
  • You pay nothing until the driver starts. The second half comes due only if they are still driving for you two weeks later.
  • Your response time is measured and shown, so fast carriers get the first look.
app.fillfleet.com
A candidate as the carrier sees it: the Driver Card, the fit, the money and the shared thread.

Money

The moment a driver you handed over sits in the seat, both of his paydays go on your calendar with a date: two weeks after his first day, and four weeks after it. The second only needs him still driving at two weeks. Try each thing he might do next.

One driver you handed over. What if he…
  1. He starts
    Day 1 · Mon, Nov 9
    First day
  2. Two weeks
    Day 14 · Mon, Nov 23
    Paid to you
  3. Four weeks
    Day 28 · Mon, Dec 7
    Paid to you

Two paydays, both set the day he started: two weeks after his first day, and four weeks after it. You did not send a bill for either.

Each payday goes out to your bank as a payout, with its own statement.

Demand

Every open job on one map. States tinted by how many carriers hire from them, hubs sized by open seats and coloured by how fast they answer. Agencies see the demand. Fillfleet does the placing.

Questions

Anything else, write to us from inside the app. A person answers.

Fillfleet is the one counterpart between recruiting agencies and carriers. Agencies hand over CDL drivers they could not seat. Fillfleet places each one with a carrier hiring now, handles every step from acceptance to orientation, and pays the agency as the driver stays.

Yes. An agency never pays Fillfleet. Carriers pay per hire, and only while the driver is still driving for them.

An amount per placement agreed with your agency when you join. It is the same whichever carrier the driver goes to, so nobody is steered by fee. You are paid two weeks after the driver starts, and again at four weeks if they are still driving.

Fillfleet does. The agency sees every step on the driver's page. The driver gets their own link to follow along, confirm dates and photograph papers. The carrier sees one counterpart for every candidate.

He started, so your first payment still lands at two weeks. The second simply never happens, for anyone. Nobody asks for money back and there is nothing to dispute.

The first agency to submit a driver holds them for 45 days, renewed by every move in the pipeline. A second submission is refused and the second agency is told who was first.

The Driver Card: class, endorsements, experience, equipment, home base, and whether the licence and medical card are in date. The full licence number and phone appear only after the carrier accepts.

Our word

  1. 01Never a résumé.

    A photo of the licence is the whole hand-over.

  2. 02Never a call you have to make.

    Fillfleet talks to the carrier, and to the driver.

  3. 03Never an invoice.

    You are paid. You do not bill anyone.

  4. 04Never a refund.

    You are paid in parts as the driver stays. A part you were paid is yours for good.

  5. 05Never the same driver twice.

    The first agency to submit a driver holds them for 45 days.

  6. 06Never a bot on the phone.

    A person reads your message and answers it.
