Trucking terminals and driver recruiting

A recruiting and network map for an invented Midwest carrier. Seven terminals, eight drop yards, nine fuel and scale partners and eight driver hubs sit over Indiana counties shaded by a driver density index. Recruiting sees which dark counties have no terminal nearby, such as Allen and Vanderburgh, and runs ads there first. Dispatch sees where a driver lives relative to a lane. Candidates filter by pay per mile and tap Talk to a recruiter.

A sample map: its businesses and people are invented.

The use case

Who needs a map like this

Who it’s for

Fleet owners and VPs of operations or recruiting at regional trucking carriers

What it’s worth

A truck without a driver loses about $1,000 a day. This map shows recruiting where drivers live by county, where terminals and yards already are, and where to run ads or open the next terminal, so a seat does not sit empty for weeks.

What to notice in this map

  • Indiana counties shaded by a driver density index, darkest where drivers live
  • Terminals, drop yards, fuel partners and home-time hubs in four categories
  • Filter by trailer spots, hiring status and pay per mile in cents
  • Dispatch hours and pay per mile on every row of the list
  • A Talk to a recruiter button on each terminal, yard and hub
Build one

Make one like it in an afternoon

You don't need a developer. These are the four steps, in Create Mappins.

  1. Step 1

    Create a directory map and add your terminals, drop yards, fuel partners and driver hubs as places, in four categories.

  2. Step 2

    Add fields: numbers for trailer spots, shop bays and pay per mile, text for dispatch hours, a yes or no for Hiring drivers, and a phone field with the button label Talk to a recruiter.

  3. Step 3

    Add the US counties layer from the data library, show only your home state, write a driver density index column for the counties you know, and shade the layer by it.

  4. Step 4

    Pick the light base style, set the opening view to your corridor, then share the link or embed the map on your careers page.
