Note from the editor

 
When you offer a driver a recruitment incentive, is pay your only strategy? Drivers face multiple challenges in their jobs, from parking to finding a place to shower, that make trucking a very competitive marketplace for drivers. It's a driver's market right now, and fleets looking to recruit drivers offer everything from bonuses to hot showers. The diverse gift basket, one that goes beyond competitive pay, seems to work best.

National Carriers just spent $5 million on its facility in Liberal, Kansas. It has parking, Wi-Fi that reaches the entire lot, a lounge, coffeemakers and, of course, free showers. And National Carriers just gave out pay raises. It's a sign that keeping drivers will be a strategy marked by offering a basket of things, both big and small. Read about it here.
