As a carrier member of the Relay Network, you're always guaranteed a driver for your trucks!
You're most likely use to hiring one driver for each of your trucks and then hope it works out.
Here's why that doesn't work anymore and you lose $10,000s every year...
Whenever you have just one driver for your truck, then your business becomes entirely dependent on that driver(s). Your truck only works when your driver can or wants to work.
For example; What happens with your truck when your driver is on his home time? It sits and you lose revenue. What happens with your truck when your driver has to do a DOT mandatory 34-hour reset? It sits, you lose revenue and it costs you more money as the driver keeps the engine running burning fuel to stay warm or cool the whole time.
Your truck ends up sitting more than its rolling!
Between the 4- 8 weeks of downtime you experience every time you fire a driver or they quit, the driver's home and vacation time, HOS limitations, your truck sits more than it rolls. In the type of freight and trucking market today, that's a recipe for poor profits and in the worst case lead to bankruptcy.
Relay is the only platform that solves this issue because you can use multiple drivers for each of your trucks. As soon as one driver finishes a trip and goes on home time, you can have another driver booked who hops in the truck and takes it right back out to keep it rolling. If your permanent driver quits, then you simply book a driver instantly from the Relay network and have your truck rolling same day. No matter what, as long as you have a truck and a load, you're guaranteed you'll always have a driver available.
Relay takes away the hassle of trying to manage a fleet of drivers and stay compliant.
The following is included as part of your Relay Membership:
