When people talk about the trucking industry, one of the biggest topics is always how to hire new drivers. Everyone asks: Where can we find qualified drivers? What’s the ideal driver profile? How do we recruit more owner operators and company drivers?
These are important questions—but at AAM NETWORK INC, we believe there’s another one that matters just as much:
How do we keep the amazing drivers we already have?
Recruitment Is Only Half the Battle
Finding new talent—whether it’s hiring owner operators or offering jobs for company drivers—is an ongoing challenge. But the real strength of any trucking company lies in retention. A driver who feels valued, respected, and appreciated will not only stay—they’ll also become your best recruiter on the road.
When a driver tells a friend, “This is a good place to work,” that personal recommendation is stronger than any advertisement. Word of mouth, built on real experience, carries more weight than the best hiring campaign.
Small Gestures, Big Impact
At AAM NETWORK INC, we know trucking is hard work. Our drivers put in long hours, stay focused on safety, and carry the responsibility of every mile. That’s why recognition matters.
And the truth is—it doesn’t take much. Sometimes it’s just a kind word, a genuine smile, or a few minutes of real attention. Other times, it might be something small but thoughtful:
- A snack or sweet treat
- A cold drink on a hot day
- A piece of company merch or gear
These little gestures remind drivers that they’re seen, valued, and respected—not just as workers, but as people.
Building a Culture of Respect
In the end, it all comes down to culture. We believe in treating every driver like part of our extended family. Respect and gratitude create loyalty. And loyalty builds a team that lasts.
That’s why at AAM NETWORK INC, we don’t just focus on recruiting drivers—we focus on making sure our drivers feel at home with us.
