When a driver fails to attend orientation, it presents a critical opportunity for recruiters to proactively address the situation.
Sustained engagement with the driver—through phone calls, text messages, and clearly defined next steps—is essential.
When communication tapers off in the days leading up to orientation, drivers may begin to feel uncertain or uneasy about their decision to join the company.
Although many recruiters consistently maintain this level of contact, there will inevitably be occasions when a driver does not appear for orientation for a variety of reasons.
In these cases, it remains important to continue outreach and reinforce the relationship.
Drivers should clearly understand that our organization is equally invested in their success and long‑term journey with us as we expect them to be committed to our team.
