Your First Carrier Account

Five steps

1. Find a carrier. Use the prospect page in ATS2 (see the prospect page tour) or the ProHRHQ carrier directory to find carriers that hire drivers.
2. Call and learn the job. Ask about the positions, pay, home time, freight, routes and requirements, and how the job compares with what similar carriers offer.
3. Ask permission, then send the proposal. With the carrier's permission, open its record in ATS2 and choose Send Email, then the Preliminary proposal template. The proposal goes out with that email.
4. Explain the fees.
   • Driver recruiting: $1,250 to $1,500 per driver hired, set for the position.
   • Recruiting launch: $750 one time, including the first $100 of driver advertising.
   • Platform: $195 a month, starting on written agreement.
   • More advertising: approved separately.
5. Follow up and manage the account. Once the carrier signs, watch its board, work with the recruiters on its jobs, and keep its managers informed.

The number of drivers hired depends on the job and the market, so a proposal states fees, not a number of hires.
