4.27.2011. Today we celebrate the tenacious spirit of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While our clients are located across the globe, our home is here. A decade after April 27th’s tornadoes devastated our city, we mourn with the loved ones of the 53 individuals who lost their lives and honor those who rallied together to create beauty from the ashes of destruction. No storm is too great when our hope endures. #TTownNeverDown #whoweare

The best way to retain good drivers? Pay a competitive wage and treat them well. Already doing that? Then it could be your recruitment process. In one study, 88% of fleet managers reported having plenty of applicants; but most of them aren’t qualified for the job. Sound familiar? How do you winnow out the wrong applicants and attract more qualified drivers? Take a look at your job postings. Are you representing your company culture correctly? Are you using messaging that will attract high-quality candidates? The Nine takes care of it all for you, from well-worded job listings to custom job applications that filter the drivers you don’t want from those you do. In an industry where good drivers are hard to find — and even harder to keep — we’ll give you the leg up you need.
