Job description

Director of Driver Recruiting

Roadrunner is seeking a bold, results-driven Director of Driver Recruiting to join our award-winning freight network and help redefine what smart logistics looks like. This is a highly visible leadership role responsible for scaling capacity, strengthening our contractor value proposition, and building a best-in-class driver acquisition engine.

The Director of Driver Recruiting is responsible for leading the strategy, execution, and performance of Roadrunner's national driver owner operators hiring programs across multiple markets for linehaul teams, linehaul solos and local pick-up and local delivery drivers. This role oversees driver recruitment initiatives, manages a recruiting team of 6 recruiters, and develops innovative sourcing strategies to attract qualified owner-operators for both local and linehaul.

The Director partners closely with Operations, Safety, Marketing, and Executive Leadership to ensure driver hiring aligns with business growth objectives while improving recruiting efficiency, driver quality, and retention outcomes. This leader owns the full driver acquisition strategy, including recruiting funnel performance, cost-per-hire optimization, and 30/60/90-day retention alignment. The role directly impacts fleet growth, revenue expansion, and network density strategy.

Roadrunner is not just moving freight; we're reimagining long-haul shipping. Our Smart Network offers more direct long-haul metro-to-metro routes than any other nationwide LTL carrier in the United States, with service extending into Canada and Mexico and terminals across 40+ metro markets. Powered by AI and machine learning, our operations platform ensures real-time tracking, custodial control, and full shipment visibility. With driver teams executing over-the-road (OTR) moves and no freight moving on rail customers experience industry-leading transit times, minimal rehandling, and dramatically reduced risk of loss or damage.

Our 900+ owner-operators benefit from scheduled freight, fewer touches by design, consistent long-haul density, and a differentiated metro-to-metro model that creates predictable earning opportunities.

This precision and performance have earned Roadrunner national recognition by over 3,000 shippers, and was ranked this year #1 in Operations, #1 in Technology, and #1 in Value in the Quest for Quality Awards, as well as honors as a Top 100 Trucking Company by Inbound Logistics and a Top Tier Service Carrier by Mastio.

We're growing fast. Roadrunner is building something special with great people, a winning culture and a differentiated service offering in the marketplace. Join us today to grow your career!

We Run Safe. We Run Smart. We Run Together.
