RocketCDL prepares to launch its cargo transport talent referral platform for recruiters

RocketCDL, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for CDL Referral Management, announced the launch of its platform at the Recruitment and Retention Conference in Nashville, TN.

The CDL Referral Management Platform gives driver recruiters the tools they need to run a powerful, dynamic referral program and hire more CDL drivers. According to the American Trucking Associations 2019 Analysis, the trucking industry was short roughly 60,800 drivers in 2018, which was up nearly 20% from 2017’s figure of 50,700.

Though the company’s product has been available in beta since the fall of 2019, the RocketCDL software is now generally available and will help enterprises with large fleets automate communications with drivers, collect referrals anytime and anywhere, and increase referral hires with digital marketing campaigns.

Led by Co-Founder and CEO, James Robinson, and Co-Founder and CTO, Nate Tellis, RocketCDL’s platform prioritizes the most qualified applicants in CDL recruiters’ hiring efforts while helping them maintain full DOT compliance.

A customer of the platform shared their recent experience: “RocketCDL has been a game-changer for our driver referral program”, commented Bobbi Leach, Recruiting Supervisor at Melton Truck Lines. “In just 8 months, we’ve been able to track referrals in one centralized database, generate comprehensive up-to-date lists of referrers, automatically communicate with drivers, and most importantly, save valuable recruiter time while hiring drivers faster. The RocketCDL team has helped us facilitate new ideas to increase our referrals – we are thrilled with our results and excited to see how the partnership grows.”

“Our team has spent the last 24 months creating a powerful platform that can be trusted by enterprise companies that need to hire hundreds of CDL drivers in a hyper-competitive environment,” said James Robinson, Co-Founder and CEO. “We are thrilled to bring our software to market and the Recruitment and Retention Conference is the perfect place to showcase RocketCDL’s powerful referral capabilities to the trucking industry – perhaps the most critical component in today’s CDL hiring environment.”
