Who it serves
Overview
Tenstreet is a Tulsa, Oklahoma software company that builds what it calls a driver lifecycle management platform for trucking. It was founded in 2006 to address hiring problems facing long-haul carriers, and its stated mission is to keep trucks on the road and freight moving. Carriers use it to advertise driver jobs, take DOT-compliant applications, verify past employment, onboard new hires and keep driver files current.
Tenstreet is not a recruiting agency that sends you candidates for a fee. It is the system many carrier recruiting departments run on. Its company page says millions of drivers have used the platform and thousands of carriers are on its shared network, and that it handles more than half of industry employment verifications through its Xchange product.

Services
Tenstreet organizes its products into a Hiring Center, a Safety Center and an Optimization Center.
On the hiring side, IntelliApp is a pre-populated driver application that includes DOT compliance checks and digital signatures. Job Store is a job advertising tool that posts carrier openings to industry job boards. Driver Pulse is a driver-facing mobile app for job ads, hiring updates, onboarding forms and training; the company states it reaches more than 505,000 active users a month. Xchange handles digital employment verification with DOT compliance tracking, and Xpress is the customizable dashboard recruiters work from. Tenstreet Assistant is an AI assistant for trucking workflows, and Pre-Application Messaging, added in 2024, helps confirm fit before a driver applies.
The Safety Center covers digital driver qualification files, MVR monitoring and a training library. The Optimization Center includes True Fuel for fuel behavior and True Load Time for predicting dock wait times. Tenstreet also sells tools aimed at brokers, including CarrierProtect for carrier data, TextLocate for app-free load tracking and DriverProtect for driver verification to fight freight fraud. Separate packages exist for private fleets, small fleets through Tenstreet On Demand, and truck driving schools.
Who it is for
Tenstreet is built for for-hire motor carriers and private fleets that hire CDL drivers on an ongoing basis and need a compliant, organized process. Small fleets can use its on-demand services and pay only when they need them. Truck driving schools use it to place graduates with carriers.
Freight brokers are a secondary audience through the carrier vetting and tracking products. A brokerage hiring office staff would not use Tenstreet for that, but a brokerage with an asset division or a dedicated fleet might.
How working with them works
New customers start with a demo and work with Tenstreet's sales team to build a package. The pricing page says pricing is not fixed: the cost depends on the products and services used, fleet size and other company-specific factors. Several contract lengths are offered, and an annual contract is not required. Xpress is sold as a subscription. Dollar figures are not published.
A 2020 FreightWaves report described how carriers used the platform: drivers photograph documents such as their CDL with a phone, complete orientation forms and videos in the app, and recruiters track progress in one place. The same report said Job Store was free for customers at that time and described a carrier that cut its hiring time by 10 to 15 days, figures attributed to that customer.
Because the platform touches DOT driver qualification files and employment verification, setup typically involves your safety and compliance staff as well as recruiting.
Questions to ask before you sign
What will our total cost be for our fleet size, and which products are included in that price? Pricing is quoted per customer, so get a line-item quote.
What contract lengths are available, and what happens to our applicant data and driver files if we leave?
Which job boards does Job Store post to, and is there any extra cost per posting?
How does Xchange handle verification requests to and from carriers that are not on Tenstreet?
Which roles does the platform support beyond CDL drivers? If you also hire diesel technicians, dispatchers or warehouse staff, ask whether Tenstreet One or another module covers them.
There is no placement fee or replacement guarantee with software, so ask what onboarding, training and support are included, and what performance reporting you will get on cost per hire and time to hire.
For office or brokerage hires, Tenstreet is not the tool, and checks such as non-compete agreements remain part of your own hiring process.
