• Identify and join appropriate trucking and driver-focused social media groups and online communities.

• Respond promptly and professionally to driver inquiries through social media, email, phone, and other recruiting channels.
• Communicate the benefits and opportunities associated with driving for LCG Freight and effectively sell the opportunity to prospective drivers.
• Build relationships with potential candidates who may not be immediately ready to make a change.

• Coordinate with Operations, Fleet, Safety, and other departments during the driver qualification and onboarding process.
• Work toward established recruiting and fleet-growth goals.

Driver Pay responsibilities may include:

• Assist with reviewing and processing weekly driver settlements and payroll information.
• Communicate with drivers regarding pay questions, discrepancies, missing information, or documentation.

• Research load information, accessorial charges, deductions, reimbursements, and other items affecting driver settlements.
• Maintain accurate documentation regarding driver pay adjustments and communications.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with drivers regarding compensation-related matters.
• Work closely with Operations and other departments to obtain information necessary to resolve driver pay questions.

Qualified candidates should have:

• Strong familiarity with Facebook and other social media platforms.
• Ability to comfortably navigate online groups, forums, and communities.
• Strong written communication skills, including the ability to write professional and engaging social media posts and messages.
