DRIVERS CASE STUDY
Optimizing Driver Availability to Meet Retail Demands
The Challenges
A dedicated logistics company in California had issues with driver availability that often resulted in delayed or
rescheduled deliveries. This frustrated their high-profile retail clients, each with a unique set of demands, making
logistics even more challenging. They needed Class A local drivers who could touch freight and line haul drivers for
drop-n-hook operations, with all driver qualification files needing approval by their safety department prior to dispatch.
The Action Plan
STAFFMARK IMPLEMENTED SEVERAL STRATEGIC MEASURES:
Invested time to understand the operational intricacies
of the logistics company and each of their retail clients,
including their requirements and payment structures.
Developed a recruitment strategy to ensure a consistent
supply of qualified drivers and efficiently replace any
absent drivers without disrupting client operations.
Partnered with the safety department to fast-track
the approval of driver qualification (DQ) files, ensuring
all drivers met the required regulatory standards .
Adapted to frequent leadership changes by quickly
learning each manager’s style and adjusting support
to meet the organization’s evolving needs.
