Transportation Recruiter | CDL & Driver Focus (FT, Remote)

Do you get excited about helping drivers land their next opportunity?

US 1 Shorthaul is looking for a recruiter who thrives in a fast-moving environment and takes pride in connecting CDL and driver candidates with career opportunities that can make a meaningful impact on their lives.

This role is centered on driver recruiting. The person in this seat will spend the vast majority of their time recruiting, screening, and guiding CDL and driver candidates through the hiring process. This is not a broad recruiting role with a light driver component. We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys working with drivers, understands the importance of the details, and can keep hiring momentum moving in a high-priority environment.

The right person will be proactive, organized, detail-oriented, and strong with follow-through. They will be comfortable working across multiple systems, maintaining accurate records, and helping ensure candidates meet minimum hiring and safety requirements.

While recruiters have assigned sites and core ownership, this team works with a shared-support mindset. We partner closely, communicate openly, and step in to help one another when priorities shift or workloads spike. The right person will be able to take ownership of their work while also contributing as a strong team player.

Key Responsibilities

• Recruit primarily for CDL and driver positions
• Communicate with candidates by phone, email, and recruiting platforms
• Build relationships with driver candidates and guide them through the hiring process from first contact through next steps
• Screen candidates carefully to confirm qualifications, work history, and minimum safety requirements
• Utilize multiple systems and tools to track applicants, verify information, and maintain accurate candidate records
• Coordinate candidate movement through the hiring process in a timely and organized manner
• Maintain detailed notes, strong follow-up, and clear communication throughout the process
• Partner with internal leaders regarding hiring priorities, candidate status, and recruiting progress
• Team-oriented mindset with the ability to own assigned sites while also stepping in to support broader team priorities when needed
• Help create a positive candidate experience and strong first impression of US 1 Shorthaul

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in transportation, CDL, or driver recruiting (preferred)
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to catch small issues before they become bigger problems
• Highly proactive work style with strong ownership and urgency
• Excellent communication and follow-through
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Comfort using multiple systems to track candidate progress and hiring activity
• Ability to work independently while staying aligned with team and business needs
• Someone who genuinely enjoys driver recruiting and is energized by a detail-heavy, fast-paced environment
