How does HolyRecruit match new CDL drivers with experienced mentors?

Each new CDL-A driver placed through HolyRecruit is paired with an experienced mentor for the early months on the job. Mentors are seasoned drivers who already know the routes the new driver will run. Pairing happens before the driver starts, based on lane, equipment type, home-time cadence, and the new driver's specific gaps. Mentors check in regularly during the early period when most early-career drivers leave a new carrier. The pairing is what makes the difference between a new hire who quits in the first 90 days and one who stays.

Where is HolyRecruit based, and what areas do they serve?

HolyRecruit is based in North Carolina and serves small trucking carriers and CDL-A drivers across North Carolina and South Carolina.

What does HolyRecruit cost for drivers?

HolyRecruit is free for drivers. Carriers pay HolyRecruit when they hire a driver placed through the network.

What size carriers does HolyRecruit work with?

HolyRecruit works primarily with small and mid-sized trucking carriers running roughly 3 to 100 power units. The model is built for fleets that don't have an in-house training department and can't afford the cost of bad hires or first-90-day turnover.

What is mentorship-based driver onboarding?

Mentorship-based driver onboarding pairs a new CDL-A driver with an experienced driver during the early period at a new carrier, typically the first months on the job. The mentor knows the lanes, the equipment, and the carrier's actual operations. New drivers reach full productivity faster and are far less likely to leave in the first 90 days, which is when most early-career turnover happens. The model is an alternative to traditional carrier-led training, which most small fleets don't have the staff to run well.

How does HolyRecruit help small trucking carriers reduce driver turnover?

HolyRecruit reduces driver turnover for small trucking carriers in three ways. First, drivers are vetted before placement against the carrier's actual operations, lanes, equipment, and home-time cadence, so the fit is real, not aspirational. Second, every new driver placed is paired with an experienced mentor for the early months, when most first-year drivers leave. Third, HolyRecruit tracks placements past the orientation date and surfaces issues before they become exits. The combination cuts the cost of bad hires and protects dedicated lane contracts that small fleets can't afford to lose.

Join the Next Open Holy Talk

6. August (Subject#1)

1 PM (EST)

Schedule an onboarding call and get matched to open CDL A seats with carriers we work with directly. On the call we cover where you are, what you need on pay and home time, and which seats fit. You apply, we walk you through the process, and we stay in your corner after you are seated. Costs you nothing. You also get access to our driver network, focus groups, mentorship program, and community platform.

The community is built for what comes after the application. Working drivers compare notes on carriers, pay, and lanes. Mentors who have done the miles help newer drivers through the first year. And when your situation changes, home time, equipment, a carrier that stopped being a fit, we are still your account manager. You do not start over with a stranger.
