Driver / Owner Operator Recruiter

GH Logistics is a fast-growing, asset-based transportation and logistics company operating enterprise freight across Texas and the Southeast. Our operations include national contracts, USPS lanes, and structured round-trip freight designed to support long-term carrier success.

We do not treat owner-operators as spot-market fillers. We operate a carrier-first ecosystem built on freight consistency, financial transparency, and real human support — including dedicated dispatchers assigned specifically to owner-operator operations.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Driver & Owner-Operator Recruiter with a proven history of recruiting high-quality owner-operators and company drivers.

This role is execution-focused and requires a strong understanding of:

• Owner-operator pay and settlement structures
• Compliance and onboarding accuracy
• Clear expectation-setting during recruitment
• End-to-end recruiting and onboarding coordination

You will be responsible for ensuring that owner-operators fully understand how GH operates, how they are paid, and how their operation is supported before they ever activate under our authority.

Owner-Operator Recruitment (Primary Focus)

• Recruit qualified solo and team owner-operators through Indeed, referrals, and inbound leads.
• Clearly communicate GH's owner-operator program, including:
• Power-only and round-trip freight options
• Weekly settlement structure
• Insurance, permits, and deductions
• Optional fuel card and trailer programs
• Screen owner-operators for:
• Experience level and operational maturity
• Equipment compliance and authority readiness
• Long-term fit with structured, non-chaotic freight
• Ensure candidates understand that dedicated dispatchers and carrier support staff are assigned to owner-operator operations to ensure consistency, planning, and issue resolution.

Company Driver Recruitment (Secondary Focus)

• Recruit company drivers and team drivers based on operational demand.
• Conduct phone screenings, follow-ups, and qualification checks.
• Coordinate recruiting priorities with operations and dispatch leadership.

Onboarding, Compliance & Process Control

• Coordinate owner-operator and driver onboarding from first contact to active dispatch.
• Ensure all documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant prior to activation, including:
• Lease agreements and acknowledgments
• Insurance and equipment documentation
• Drug & alcohol clearinghouse and safety requirements
• Partner with Admin Ops to ensure all files are entered correctly in Paycom and internal systems.
• Reduce onboarding delays by proactively identifying and resolving missing or incorrect documentation.

Process Discipline & Communication

• Maintain accurate recruiting and onboarding status tracking.
• Follow up consistently with candidates to prevent drop-off.
• Communicate daily or near-daily with operations to align recruiting with real fleet needs.
• Provide leadership with regular updates on recruiting pipeline, bottlenecks, and activations.

Required Experience

• 2+ years of direct owner-operator recruiting experience in trucking or logistics.
• Strong understanding of owner-operator pay models, settlements, and expectations.
• Experience recruiting into structured carrier programs, not spot-only operations.
• Familiarity with onboarding and HR systems such as Paycom (or similar).
• Strong phone presence and ability to explain complex pay and compliance topics clearly.
• High attention to detail and process discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience recruiting both company drivers and owner-operators.
• Familiarity with FMCSA compliance requirements for leased-on owner-operators.
• Experience working closely with dispatch and operations teams.
• Transportation or fleet operations background.
