It gives you flexibility. You can add drivers as needed. If you only have seasonal needs, outsourcing allows you to flex the number of drivers up or down as your workload changes. In some cases, you don’t have to make a long-term commitment.

If you don’t have expertise in recruiting or training, outside experts will deliver those services and get you the type of drivers you are looking for.

Outsourcing allows you to concentrate on your core competencies. Those often have nothing to do with sourcing, hiring and training drivers.

You may be able to reduce overall labor costs by increasing driver availability or efficiency. Outsourcing drivers may allow for different pay structures, such as activity-based pay.

Outsourcing reduces your risks because insurance exposure is transferred to a third party. This applies to Workers Compensation, Physical Damage, Bodily Injury and Garagekeepers Insurance.

It relieves you of the need to manage the ever-changing regulatory environment including things like minimum hiring criteria, drug testing, background checks, motor vehicle checks, hours of service regulations, and hazardous materials regulations.
