Truck Driver Recruiting

Just as employers are often worried that applicants are being dishonest when filling out their job applications, potential employees often worry that the job they’ve just accepted will not have the working conditions that were advertised in the help wanted ad. But one web site seeks to end this miscommunication for trucking companies and employees.

Like many other sites on the web, truckflix.com is a free site for drivers, which allows truckers to post one application and apply for a variety of trucking jobs. Unlike other sites, however, truckflix.com also treats those truckers to a night, or day, at the movies. By incorporating streaming media onto their site, truckflix.com asserts that it has entered the technological age. If truckers and trucking companies are going to start taking advantage of new technology like GPS units and broadband Internet, the site’s creators argue, then sites that cater to them should be looking for new ways to make technology serve truckers as well.

Truckflix.com does this by allowing truckers to view streaming videos posted by trucking companies. According to the site’s creators, “seeing is believing.” For the creators of truckflix.com, companies with more to offer will have more impressive and extensive videos, and by allowing truckers to view videos of the companies that they might work for, the creators believe truckers will have a more honest and reliable picture of the kind of company they will be joining.

Truckers can register on truckflix.com for a free account, fill out an application, and view the streaming videos. The videos allow truckers to experience companies’ buildings, equipment, staff, and other advantages before they sign up. For trucking companies, the site offers a similar advantage. Companies are able to use video graphics to convince drivers that they really are the best and make new employees comfortable before their first days on the job.

In addition to web site’s innovative use of media, the site also has a variety of resources available to truckers, including one of the most extensive lists of trucking services and products on the web. Whether truckers are looking for humidifiers or truck parts, they’ll be sure to find at least a few listings that interest them. A drivers’ forum, frequently asked questions section, and articles on drivers’ technology make the forum like home for both truckers and recruiters. Additionally, the site has teamed with Trucker Buddy International to allow registered users to share photos, videos, and text about their trips.

Because truckers are using technology for the benefit of their employers, truckflix.com believes employers are only polite in doing the same. By allowing truckers to view media presentations about companies and recruiters that visit the site, both truckers and companies can help each other find the perfect match. But even if you’re not looking to search for a new job, the site’s extensive list of resources and links will make a visit to this site profitable for anyone interested in the trucking industry.
