The questions Charlotte operators actually ask us, answered with the local numbers.
Because 3,073 carriers in Charlotte pull from the same pool, and the biggest fleets here run hundreds of trucks with full-time recruiters. Posting on a job board puts you at the back of that line. A dedicated sourcing campaign puts you at the front.
Yes. The engine sources by region, and Charlotte is one of the markets we track: we know the fleet mix, the carrier density, and how hard the local competition is before we take your campaign.
