$2,000 to $3,000
per driver hired.

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.

01 / The Problem

Job boards are the most expensive way to fill a seat

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.

$2,000–$3,000

Average cost per hire on job boards. No pre-screening included.

45+ Days

Typical time to fill a seat through a job board posting.

Low Match Quality

Board leads are rarely pre-qualified. Your team wastes hours on drivers who never had a valid CDL-A to begin with.

Empty Trucks

Every day a seat sits open is revenue your fleet isn't collecting.

02 / What We Do

One system. Ad click to seated driver.

We don't just run ads. We build and manage the full pipeline so unqualified leads never reach your inbox.

01

Compliant Meta Ads

Driver-targeted campaigns built under Meta's employment ad standards, so your ad account stays protected.

02

Automated Pre-Screening

SMS and form logic filter out unlicensed and non-responsive leads before they ever reach your team.

03

CRM Pipeline (Built in GHL)

Every applicant moves through a tracked pipeline stage, from lead to documents to seated driver.

04

Transparent Reporting

You see cost per applicant, cost per qualified lead, and cost per hire. No mystery numbers.

03 / Proof

14 drivers seated. 90 days. Under $1,000 per hire.

One regional carrier. Confirmed, trackable numbers from our own campaign and pipeline data.

04 / The Comparison

Same outcome. Less than half the cost.

Traditional recruiting agency$8,000–$15,000 / hire
Job boards (Indeed, DAT, etc.)$2,000–$3,000 / hire
Blacktop, all-in confirmed$957 / hire

On 10 hires a year, that gap is worth $10,000 to $20,000 back in your budget, plus faster fill times.

07 / Common Questions

Straight answers, no sales spin

What if we don't get 14 hires like your case study? +

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.

Is ad spend included in the $599 or $1,199? +

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.

We already tried Facebook ads and it didn't work. +

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.

How long until we see applicants? +

Most carriers see qualified applicants within the first one to two weeks of launch, once the campaign clears Meta's initial learning phase.

Is there a long-term contract? +

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.

08 / The Bottom Line

$599 to find out what this could do for your fleet

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.
