No mystery process
From empty seat to seated driver in 10 steps
No “proprietary process” hand-waving. This is exactly what happens after you book a call, in order, with what it costs at each point ($0 until step 4, and nothing after that until a driver is seated).
The short version, animated

The pipeline you’re buying
Source → Qualify → Match → Interview → Hire → Retain
Source
Multi-channel campaigns under your hiring brand — social, job boards, database reactivation, referrals.
Qualify
Every applicant answered in minutes, 24/7. Prequalified on CDL class, endorsements, experience, and geography before a human hour is spent.
Match
Every candidate is Fit-Scored 0–100 on nine weighted factors. Below 70 never reaches your inbox.
Interview
We schedule, confirm, chase no-shows, and keep drivers warm between your calls.
Hire
You interview, you decide, you hire — always. We handle everything up to and around that decision.
Retain
Check-ins at day 14 and 30. Our fee is milestone-billed across the same window — we get paid when the driver stays.
Step by step
The 10 steps, in full
1Book a 30-minute discovery call
Bring your open seats. We ask about lanes, pay, equipment, home time, and what happened to the last three drivers in those seats. You get straight answers on fit and fee before anything is signed. Cost: $0.
2Build your Hiring Profile
We document the seat like a spec sheet: CDL class, endorsements, experience floor, equipment, route, home time, comp package, start dates, deal-breakers. This becomes the standard every candidate is scored against — so “qualified” means qualified for your seat, not qualified in general.
3Get your Carrier Offer Score
We score your offer 0–100 against market on pay, home time, hiring speed, miles consistency, bonuses, equipment age, benefits, detention pay, and route difficulty. Under 70, we present fixes before launch instead of billing you for a campaign the market will ignore. This step has talked carriers out of hiring us; that’s the point.
4Sign and activate
Placement agreement (plain English, published guarantee terms) + $500 activation, credited in full against your first placement fee. We build your campaign: job ads, landing page, screening scripts, Fit Score weights tuned to your profile. Live within days, not weeks.
5Source
Multi-channel from day one: paid social, job boards, our driver database and nurture list, and referral asks. Everything runs under your hiring brand with your written job terms — we never invent pay numbers to juice response.
6Qualify — in minutes, not days
Every applicant gets an acknowledgment in under a minute and engagement from Luna, our AI recruiting assistant, within 1–2 minutes — 24/7, TCPA-compliant, always identified as an AI. A human recruiter follows during business hours in under 15 minutes. Industry data says response speed is the whole ballgame in driver recruiting (Career Now Brands published research); we built the company around it.
7Fit Score and match
Prequalified drivers are scored 0–100 on nine published, job-related factors. 70+ moves forward; below 70 is never auto-submitted to any client. You receive a short slate of scored, interview-ready candidates — not a spreadsheet of 400 phone numbers. See the full rubric.
8Interview support
We schedule around your dispatch reality, send confirmations and reminders, rescue no-shows, and keep candidates warm between rounds. You interview and you decide — always. Alpha Driver Solutions never makes or promises the hiring decision.
9Offer, orientation, seated
We help you get the offer accepted (comp expectations were scored back in step 7, so surprises are rare), coordinate orientation logistics, and confirm day 1. Driver seated = first placement invoice (45%).
10Retain — 14, 30, 90
Structured driver check-ins at day 14 and day 30 (day 90 on extended guarantee), with issues flagged to you while they’re still fixable. Fee milestones land at 14 and 30 days, so our last dollar arrives only if the driver stays. If they leave inside the guarantee window, the replacement search is free.
Priced like every Alpha Driver Solutions placement
Flat fee. Milestone-billed. Guaranteed in writing.
Milestone billing, aligned to retention: $500 activation (credited in full against your first placement) → 45% when the driver completes orientation day 1 → 25% at day 14 → 30% at day 30. If a driver leaves before a milestone, that invoice never goes out — and the 30-day replacement guarantee restarts the search free. 60-day (+15%) and 90-day (+30%) coverage available. Full schedule: /pricing/.
Step 1 costs nothing.
Book the discovery call. Bring your open seats; leave with a straight answer.
