Blacktop fills your empty seats with pre-screened CDL-A drivers using precision Meta Ads, automated screening, and a proven pipeline. Here's exactly what that looks like, and what it costs.
Last engagement: 14 drivers seated in 90 days, all-in cost under $1,000 per hire.
Indeed, DAT, and traditional job boards run $2,000 to $3,000 per hire, and that is before you count the hours your team spends chasing unqualified applicants.
Average cost per hire on job boards. No pre-screening included.
Typical time to fill a seat through a job board posting.
Board leads are rarely pre-qualified. Your team wastes hours on drivers who never had a valid CDL-A to begin with.
Every day a seat sits open is revenue your fleet isn't collecting.
We don't just run ads. We build and manage the full pipeline so unqualified leads never reach your inbox.
Driver-targeted campaigns built under Meta's employment ad standards, so your ad account stays protected.
SMS and form logic filter out unlicensed and non-responsive leads before they ever reach your team.
Every applicant moves through a tracked pipeline stage, from lead to documents to seated driver.
You see cost per applicant, cost per qualified lead, and cost per hire. No mystery numbers.
One regional carrier. Confirmed, trackable numbers from our own campaign and pipeline data.
// Additional ~15 applicants reached the documents stage during this engagement; figures above reflect confirmed seated hires only. Client kept anonymous by request.
On 10 hires a year, that gap is worth $10,000 to $20,000 back in your budget, plus faster fill times.
Full system build, done for you. No separate line items.
Every script, filter, and ad angle is built for CDL-A recruitment. Not a generalist agency running side gigs.
Ads, screening, and CRM in one connected pipeline, not three disconnected vendors.
You see cost per applicant and cost per hire in plain terms, every reporting period.
You work directly with the person managing your account. No rotating support desk.
Every carrier's pay package, lanes, and market are different, so results vary. What doesn't vary is the system: compliant ads, real pre-screening, and a tracked pipeline so you always know your cost per applicant and cost per hire, in real time.
No. Our fee covers strategy, build, and management. Ad spend is billed directly by Meta to your own ad account, so you keep full ownership and transparency over what you're paying to run.
Most driver recruitment campaigns fail because of two things: missing the employment ad category compliance settings, or no real pre-screening layer, so unqualified leads flood in. Both are exactly what we fix first.
Most carriers see qualified applicants within the first one to two weeks of launch, once the campaign clears Meta's initial learning phase.
We ask for a 3-month minimum after the setup month. Campaigns need that runway to optimize properly. After that, it's month to month.
Full campaign, CRM, and screening system built and launched for one flat fee. No long-term commitment required to start. If it works the way it worked for our last client, the math pays for itself inside the first hire.
