Your applicants. My experience. Recruiting support that works within your team.
Fractional Driver Recruiting Support
I’m Ed Smith, founder of TranSpire. I bring more than 28 years of transportation and recruiting experience to companies that need additional help contacting, screening, and following up with driver applicants.
You work directly with me, using your applicant flow and recruiting systems. We agree on the responsibilities, reserve the days, and review progress each week.

You have applicants.
Does your team have time to work on them?
A driver applies. Someone needs to make contact, explain the job, ask the right questions, and keep the next steps moving.
Meanwhile, your team may be handling orientation, missing reports, scheduling changes, and questions from operations.
When follow-up slips, an interested applicant can become another unresolved name in the system. Operations still needs coverage, and leadership needs to know what is holding up the hiring process.
I provide hands-on recruiting support so an agreed part of that workload has a clear owner.
28 Years of Transportation and Recruiting Experence
What I can take responsibility for
Applicant Contact
Contact assigned applicants, answer questions using approved job information, and determine whether to continue the conversation.
Screening for Qualifications and Position Alignment
Screen against your company’s requirements while discussing the schedule, pay structure, home time, equipment, freight, and actual duties.
Consistent Follow-Up
Follow up on incomplete applications, missing information, unanswered questions, and agreed next steps. Keep applicant records current so your team can see where things stand.
Varying Hours
My success comes from being non-traditional. I vary my hours to nights and weekends, to catch drivers when they are not driving. Versus simply leaving voicemails all day long.
Recruiting Coordination
Coordinate interviews, orientation arrangements, and handoffs within the authority we establish. Flag pending reports and decisions that require your team’s attention.
You Work Directly with Me
When you engage TranSpire for this service, I personally handle the agreed recruiting work.
My background includes transportation recruiting, operations, and sales. I understand that a recruiting conversation has to reflect the job operations will actually deliver.
I’m comfortable joining an existing team, learning its process, and taking responsibility for my part. I will also raise questions when information is missing or expectations don't align.
You receive a weekly report covering activity, applicant progress, pending decisions, and issues that need attention.

Discussing Your Schedule
What your company provides
To work effectively within your operation, I will need the following:
- Your existing applicant flow and approved hiring priorities.
- Accurate job details and current screening requirements.
- An individual account in your applicant tracking system with the necessary permissions.
- A company-controlled recruiting number for calls, voicemail, and approved texting.
- Authorized access to required reports, or a designated person responsible for obtaining them.
- A contact who can answer questions and make timely decisions.
Your company pays its advertising, system, screening, and report expenses. Those costs are separate from my service fee.
You retain your applicant records, recruiting number, and final hiring and compliance decisions.
How we get started...
First we discuss the workload.
Tell me where you are hiring, what applicants you already receive, and which recruiting tasks need more attention.
Then, we define the assignment.
We agree on responsibilities, reserved days, reporting, pricing, and the decisions that remain with your company.
Before outreach, we complete onboarding.
We verify job information, test access and communications, assign report responsibilities, and confirm the applicant workflow.
Then, I get to work.
I handle the agreed duties, maintain applicant notes, and keep your team informed through weekly reporting.
Is this the right fit for your operation?
This service is intended for companies with active driver openings and an existing applicant flow that need experienced recruiting capacity.
It works best when the company can provide accurate information, working systems, and timely decisions.
If you need someone to generate all your leads, purchase advertising, or guarantee a set number of starts, we should clarify that before discussing an assignment. Those services and promises are not included in this offer.
Putting it out there.
A few questions you may have...
Will I work with you personally?
Yes. Absolutely. I personally perform the agreed recruiting work. Any future change in who delivers the service would require a separate discussion and your written agreement.
Can you work with our current recruiter?
Yes. We can assign me a specific applicant queue, hiring location, or part of the process. The goal is clear coverage and coordinated follow-up. This is support, not replacement.
Do you guarantee hires?
No. I commit to the agreed work, coverage, and reporting. Hiring outcomes depend on the job, applicant fit, screening results, and your company’s decisions.
What happens after the first four weeks?
If you should decide to continue, your selected standard rate applies. The signed service agreement sets the continuation period and cancellation terms.
What happens to our applicants when the assignment ends?
Your company keeps its records and recruiting number. I update pending applicant notes and provide the agreed handoff, so your team can continue the conversations.
Where could your team use an experienced extra set of hands?
Tell me about your hiring needs and the work you want covered. I’ll review the information and contact you to discuss fit, scheduling, and availability.
