Right now the hardest roles to fill are CDL-A drivers, fleet maintenance technicians, and warehouse managers who can run a WMS. Carriers, 3PLs, distribution centers, and freight brokers all compete for the same small pool of drivers with clean drug and alcohol clearinghouse records and current medical cards. Driver shortages are real. A dispatcher who has worked with ELD logs and knows regional lanes brings value on day one.
Good candidates ask about home time, equipment age, and pay bands for weekend or night shifts before they apply. Warehouse leaders want to know which WMS platform you use, how many dock doors you run, and whether maintenance budgets actually cover the fleet. A clear job post that lists CDL class, endorsement needs, and shift times gets more replies than a vague one.

Hiring problems we solve
Finding CDL-A drivers who clear FMCSA checks
Carriers and 3PLs often lose days to roadside or clearinghouse surprises. Talent Strand asks every driver candidate for CDL class, endorsements, medical card status, and drug and alcohol clearinghouse clearance up front. You only see drivers who already meet the federal rules you are required to follow.
Warehouse managers with real WMS experience
Many resumes list inventory skills, but few show hands on work with Manhattan, Blue Yonder, or SAP EWM. Talent Strand screens warehouse leader candidates for the exact WMS your distribution center runs, plus dock scheduling and OSHA safety duties.
Dispatchers and coordinators who know the lanes
Freight brokers and carriers need people who can quote a lane, track a load, and recover a missed appointment quickly. Talent Strand asks candidates for their experience with TMS tools like McLeod or MercuryGate, regional lane knowledge, and hours of service rules.
What we check
For transportation and logistics roles, Talent Strand verifies the items you would check yourself. Driver candidates get their CDL class, endorsements, medical card, and drug and alcohol clearinghouse status confirmed against FMCSA records. Warehouse managers get WMS platform experience checked with previous employers, along with OSHA safety training and powered industrial truck certifications where the role requires them. Fleet maintenance technicians have ASE certifications and engine platform experience confirmed. Every screen is documented and shared with you before an interview.
