What Our Recruiters Actually Do
As a contractor recruiter at Drivers 1st, you're the connection point between CDL drivers and our 30+ strong, tested carrier partners. You connect with drivers, learn what each driver actually wants and needs, and match them with the carrier that fits — not just any carrier, the right one.
Once you've found the match, you help drivers complete their full DOT application and ensure a smooth handoff to the processor. And unlike our competitors, you have full transparency — you can see every driver through the entire process from first call to hire.

You're Independent, But Never Alone
As a 1099 contractor, you run your own schedule and build your own book of business. But you'll always have a team behind you — from leadership check-ins to a community of fellow recruiters sharing tips, wins, and support.
We're also fully transparent. You're never left in the dark — you can see every driver through the entire process, from first call to final hire. That's not how most staffing companies work, and that's exactly the point.
