Published, not proprietary-and-secret
The Fit Score: why you’ll never see our bottom 70%
Every recruiting vendor says “prequalified.” Here is our actual rubric — nine weighted, job-related factors, scored 0–100 for every candidate against your specific seat. We publish it because a score you can’t inspect is just marketing.
The rubric
Nine factors. 100 points. Zero mystery.
| Factor | Weight | What we’re checking |
|---|---|---|
| CDL class & endorsements match | 15 | Class A/B and H/N/T/X endorsements versus the seat’s requirements — stated and sanity-checked in screening (your CRA verifies) |
| Verifiable experience years | 15 | Self-reported experience against your floor, cross-checked for consistency in the interview |
| Equipment experience match | 12 | Has actually run your equipment — dry van, reefer, flatbed, tanker, doubles |
| Route / home-time alignment | 12 | What the driver says they want versus what the seat honestly delivers — the #1 early-quit driver |
| Geography | 12 | Domicile versus your hiring area and orientation location |
| Comp expectation alignment | 10 | Their number versus your written package, surfaced before the interview, not after the offer |
| Availability / start window | 8 | Can they start when the truck is ready? |
| Job stability (tenure pattern) | 8 | Tenure pattern across recent jobs — job-related history only |
| Responsiveness / engagement | 8 | Answers, shows up, completes steps — the best predictor that they’ll show up at orientation too |
The bands
What each score means
| Score | Band | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | Exceptional | Submitted same-day with priority flag |
| 80–89 | Strong | Submitted in your regular slate |
| 70–79 | Possible | Submitted with the gaps called out explicitly |
| Below 70 | Not submitted | Never auto-submitted to any client. Recycled to nurture if the gap is fixable (experience, timing, geography) |
Tuned to your seat
Not a generic driver grade
Weights are client-customizable inside guardrails. Running tanker? Equipment match weighs heavier. Home-daily local? Geography does. The score always describes fit for the specific seat in your Hiring Profile.
What the Fit Score is not (compliance). The Fit Score uses job-related factors only. It never includes or proxies protected characteristics — age (beyond legal minimums), race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, or any other protected class — and it is applied uniformly to every candidate, consistent with EEOC guidance. It is not a consumer report: Alpha Driver Solutions is not a consumer reporting agency, and scores are built from driver self-reported data provided with written consent. Your MVR, PSP, background, and Clearinghouse checks run through your own CRA, and the hiring decision is always yours (49 CFR Part 391).
