Services
Driver staffing is the core service. Drivers are leased for short-term, long-term or temp-to-perm assignments, and carriers use them to backfill openings, cover time off or sick leave, and ramp up for peak season. TransForce handles payroll, benefits, paid time off and workers' compensation, and maintains each driver's DOT driver qualification file.
Direct hire places TransForce recruiters inside your hiring operation to recruit CDL drivers and diesel technicians in markets across the lower 48 states, with screened applicants delivered to your applicant tracking system and hired onto your payroll. The company also lists non-CDL roles such as yard and warehouse workers.
Driver outsourcing runs a carrier's driver workforce through TransForce as a managed service. Driver marketing supplies leads from the company's own platform to help lower cost per hire. Veteran hiring draws on its Troops Into Transportation training sites, and CDL training runs through cdlschool.com, from entry-level driver training theory to behind-the-wheel instruction. Safety and compliance support, including safety training and coaching, is offered across these services.
Who it is for
TransForce fits motor carriers and private fleets that need drivers quickly or want to avoid adding employees, such as a fleet facing a seasonal surge or a shipper running its own trucks that would rather not manage driver HR. Direct hire fits carriers that want drivers on their own payroll but need more recruiting capacity or entry into new markets.
It does not recruit brokerage sales or office staff. A brokerage would use it only if it runs an asset fleet.
How working with them works
For staffing, the process the company describes runs in five steps. The carrier submits the open role, and TransForce advertises it on job boards and its own channels. Candidates are interviewed, and the carrier can interview them as well. After a candidate is confirmed, TransForce runs the motor vehicle record and background check. Once verified, it creates and maintains the DQ file. Then the driver is dispatched. The company says most seats are filled in under two weeks. Its screening includes in-person interviews, MVR checks, background checks and employment verification.
For staffing, the carrier pays a markup on the driver's pay rate, set by pay rate and job location, which covers recruitment marketing, compliance processing and benefits. The markup percentage is not published, and TransForce says it will not accept roles below a minimum average pay rate for the role and market. Carriers must carry at least $1,000,000 in auto liability, $1,000,000 in general liability and a $1,000,000 umbrella policy, and provide a certificate of insurance naming TransForce, Inc. as additional insured. Temp-to-perm conversion terms are available on request.
For direct hire, pricing is set after the company reviews your needs. Its page describes no long-term contracts and flexible, performance-based pricing, without listing rates. TransForce states it does not charge drivers for its services.
Questions to ask before you sign
What is the markup on the driver pay rate for our location and role, and what exactly does it include? Ask whether overtime, detention pay or bonuses carry the same markup.
What are the temp-to-perm conversion terms? Ask about any conversion fee and how long a driver must work before converting at no cost.
For direct hire, is the fee per hire, per applicant or a monthly program fee, and what does performance-based pricing mean in our contract?
Is there a replacement or guarantee period if a direct-hire driver leaves early? The website does not mention one, so ask.
Which driver types can you supply in our market, such as local, regional, OTR, hazmat or tanker? Ask about endorsements and experience minimums.
How are accidents and claims handled when a leased driver operates our equipment, and how do your insurance requirements interact with our policies? Review this with your insurance agent.
Will you avoid recruiting our own drivers for other customers while we are a client?
