What would you say is the biggest driving factor when it comes to attaining a trucking job? As presented in TruckingInfo through a recent survey conducted by Conversion Interactive Agency, the biggest indicator for employee retention for drivers, is online reviews.
The survey reported about “72% of drivers said the most influential factor when choosing a carrier to drive for is online reviews from other drivers, followed by job descriptions (71%) and online articles or blogs about the carrier and/or the driving job (nearly 31%). In the job description, most drivers are looking for pay and home time information.
Aside from this research, we still want to know what else you think is important.
