Early-stage driver turnover is one of the most costly and disruptive factors for transportation companies. According to the Stay Days Table, an index by Stay Metrics that tracks driver retention across a broad range of motor carriers, only 64.9% of drivers hired in the first quarter of 2019 lasted 90 days.
“We want everyone to know how to increase the success rate for retaining drivers in the first 90 days and beyond,” said Tim Hindes, co-founder and chief executive officer of Stay Metrics. “The goal of our latest research project was to give motor carriers a list of five things they should be watching out for when bringing on new drivers.”
