Round
Rock, TX, USA -- USRW LLC, parent company of USRoadWarriors.com,
a lifestyle, careers, news and information portal for professional
drivers and truckers, has announced the launch of four niche
recruitment sites designed to appeal to a broad group of
transportation professionals.
DriverJobCenter.com
focuses on all individuals that make their living behind the wheel
including local delivery drivers, OTR or "Over the Road"
truckers, dump truck drivers and even corporate drivers for companies
like FEDEX or UPS.
"Most
trucker sites unintentionally exclude these drivers. Having just
returned from the GATS Great American Trucking show in Dallas, I
found that there were many large employers seeking drivers of all
kinds represented at the show," noted Carl Braun, Co-Founder and
Publisher of USRoadWarriors.com.
Braun
has a 20-year history in the job board industry starting with his
first site in 1996 called Hire-Power.com. He has since launched
dozens of job boards in niche categories like diversity trucking and
veterans. USRoadWarriors.com follows the trend with several sites
designed to appeal to growth opportunity segments in the industry.
With
only 6% of drivers being female, job board GirlsNTrucks.com
appeals to perhaps the largest hiring opportunity for the
transportation industry. DiverseDriver.com
seeks out minority drivers and VeteranDriver.com
helps connect companies with returning military and veterans, a very
active segment largely due to the patriotic nature of trucking
companies and the unique skills many veterans bring to their future
employers.
Each
of these sites provides visitors with original content and articles
written specifically for women, minorities and veterans along with
thousands of job opportunities with companies highly motivated to
consider them.
There
is currently a 73.500 driver shortage in the US and the American
Trucking Association projects an 890,000 driver shortage over the
next decade.
"Transportation
employers are faced with tough decisions today and in the future. The
average age of drivers is 52 and the market is overwhelmingly white
and male. Over the next several years, many of these drivers will
retire leaving a huge gap in the space. Actively recruiting women,
minorities and veterans will play an important role in filling the
growing needs," Braun said.
USRoadWarriors.com
intends to help build the image of the trucking industry into one
where everyone is welcome to join and the career opportunities are
appreciated for their stability, pay and mobile lifestyle.
