Blue Bloodhound, the new online marketplace connecting qualified truck drivers with motor carriers, announced today it has successfully enrolled over 20,000 independent CDL truck drivers and owner/operators looking for additional work throughout the United States.

The transportation industry is dealing with daily driver shortages and high levels of employee turnover which make Blue Bloodhound's six-month-old service so attractive. "Traditional recruiting methods often take weeks or months to translate into full time drivers and at very high costs," says Chris Davy, Executive Vice President, Blue Bloodhound Sales. "Our new marketplace gives motor carriers immediate access to thousands of qualified drivers across the country who are actively looking for extra work. Whether local or over-the-road, motor carriers with an urgent driver need can simply post a run on Blue Bloodhound's website and hire a qualified CDL truck driver the same day."

Motor carriers gain access to qualified, road-ready drivers operating as 1099 independent contractors. With access to complete driver files, motor carriers can lock in open runs within minutes. Best of all, motor carriers only pay for a driver when and where they need one. 

Blue Bloodhound also gives truck drivers an opportunity to fill their frequent and frustrating downtime with clearly defined jobs directly from their smart phone. Truck drivers finally have an easy and transparent way of achieving consistent weekly pay and can do so on their terms.
