Hi, Lily. Are you a driver turned recruiter, or did you get thrust into the recruiting role by happenstance?

To best understand the career you are recruiting people to join, in my opinion, you need to have experienced the job from the front line.

Challenges? Myriad, compounded by geographical regulatory differences, corporate metrics generated by people who have a great deal of knowledge but no subject matter expertise (other than an internet connection and the letters BS, BA, MS, MBA tacked on after their name on a bizcard), constantly changing timelines, deadlines, traffic flows...

In short, I would give you the same advice I have given many of the critics of my former profession of 28 years. Get hired, attend the academy (or truck driving school), and work the job for a year, all seasons, shifts, and locales.

If you are already an experienced succesful professional driver, then you KNOW the challenges, and all of my spewing above doesnt apply.

Good wishes to you.
