Employee-powered hiring for transportation & logistics.
Help drivers, warehouse associates, dispatchers, and logistics professionals bring qualified candidates into your workforce through employee referrals, employee-powered sourcing, and AI-driven recruiting campaigns.
Drivers are scarce. Warehouses are short-staffed. Demand keeps climbing.
Trucking, 3PL, warehousing, last-mile, freight, and supply chain organizations face the same compounding pressures: CDL driver shortages, warehouse labor scarcity, high turnover, climbing delivery demand, and fierce regional competition for the same workforce. The operators winning are turning their own drivers and associates into the recruiting channel.
CDL drivers are scarcer every year, and every carrier in the market is recruiting the same pool. Driver boards saturate fast.
DC and fulfillment hiring competes with retail, manufacturing, and gig delivery for the same hourly workforce in every market.
Driver and warehouse turnover drives most of the recruiting load. Every exit is another open lane, another open shift, another rehire cycle.
E-commerce, same-day, and last-mile demand keep climbing, which keeps hiring demand climbing right with them.
Carriers, 3PLs, and last-mile operators all bid for the same drivers and warehouse associates. Cost-per-hire keeps creeping up.
Dozens or hundreds of terminals, DCs, and last-mile hubs, each with local hiring needs and a single executive view.
Drivers know drivers. Warehouse workers know warehouse workers.
CDL drivers refer CDL drivers. Diesel techs refer diesel techs. Warehouse associates refer warehouse associates. Trusted recommendations from inside the operation produce higher-quality hires that onboard faster and retain materially better than driver-board hires, which compounds into a more stable fleet, fewer open lanes, and better safety performance.

CDL Driver Recruiting
Local, regional, and OTR driver hiring runs on driver-to-driver referrals. Tiered driver bonuses, mobile and SMS participation, and terminal-level recognition turn current drivers into the primary recruiting channel.
Warehouse Hiring
DC, fulfillment, and distribution hiring is deskless and shift-based. Text-to-refer, SMS, and break-room QR posters meet associates where they actually work, and feed candidates straight into the ATS.
Dispatcher Recruiting
Dispatchers, operations coordinators, and logistics planners come through the operations community. ERIN Source surfaces named candidates inside current dispatchers' networks with a warm-intro path.
Fleet Maintenance Recruiting
Diesel technicians, fleet maintenance, and skilled trades hiring is some of the hardest in transportation. Employee networks consistently outperform cold sourcing for these roles.
Leadership Hiring
Terminal managers, operations leaders, and supply chain professionals rarely come from job boards. ERIN Source identifies the right internal leaders to refer and surfaces network candidates with a warm-intro path.
Last-Mile Delivery Hiring
Last-mile and gig-style delivery hiring is high-volume, mobile-first, and shift-based. AI-launched campaigns, SMS bursts, and QR signage make scale-up fast across every hub.
From trucking to 3PL to last-mile, purpose-built for every logistics segment.

Referral participation
Lift terminal- and DC-level participation from 5–10% on legacy tools to 60–90% on a modern ERIN program, across driver, warehouse, and leadership populations.
Reduced recruiting costs

Workforce stability
Referred drivers and warehouse hires retain materially better, reducing rehire load, open-lane and open-shift coverage gaps, and the safety risk of constant new hires.
Hard-to-fill roles
Warm intros and AI campaigns aimed at the right terminals consistently outperform broad job-board spend on CDL drivers, diesel techs, and dispatch leadership.
Faster time-to-fill
Mobile, SMS, QR, and event campaigns compress time-to-fill on driver and warehouse reqs, and warm intros do the same on dispatch and management roles.
Stronger employer brand
Recognition, branded campaigns, and visible referral wins make ERIN a workforce engagement program that doubles as a recruiting engine.
