A Driver Recruitment Solution for the Tire Industry

If you own a car, repairs are inevitable. It’s those surprise repairs that are the most frustrating. A flat tire often seems to come out of nowhere and renders a car undrivable. Therefore, when a tire needs to be replaced, it’s nearly always an emergency. People don’t want to hear from the professionals in the tire industry, “We’ll have it for you tomorrow.”

That’s why tire distributors need to focus on driver recruitment along with hiring and retaining employees. Tire dealers need to regularly stock a wide variety of tires to retain and please their customers. And distributors need drivers to deliver tires to the dealers to retain their business. Employing enough drivers, however, can be a challenge.

Major Hiring Shortages Are Impacting Tire Distributors

Read the news these days, and you’re bound to hear about a shortage of employees. Despite the drop in the unemployment rate, many tire distributors are finding it difficult to hire staff. Employee shortages lead business owners to spend excessive amounts of time focusing on recruitment and hiring. When hiring and recruitment are the focus of a company, they are looking inward rather than outward. An outward-looking company focuses on expanding the business and general growth.

Hiring shortages tend to lead tire distributors and other companies to raise the wages of drivers. They increase wages to retain current drivers, who may be targeted by competitors who are most likely in a similar situation due to hiring shortages. Another reason to raise wages is to entice potential workers to join the company and become employees.

Being short-staffed can also lead to overworking those who are currently on staff, leaving them more likely to leave. Finally, hiring shortages lead to a loss of business since a company will struggle to fill the needs/demands of its customers.
