LIVE CALL SCRIPT FOR POTENTIALLY QUALIFIED DRIVERS
“Hello, can I speak with __________? Hey [Driver], my name is ____ and I’m with IMC Professional Driver Services. We do recruiting for about 30 different carriers and I’m calling you today because we happen to have some openings in your area, and at some point you had indicated that you’d like to hear about those jobs. Do you have a few minutes to talk?”
“Just to give you a little background about IMC, as previously stated, we work with about 30 different carriers nationwide and so we’re always looking for good drivers. Our state of the art system tracks hundreds of jobs in real-time, so we always have a bird’s eye view on the industry and what opportunities are available.”
“The job we’re talking about today is a regional route delivering freight primarily East of I-35. It’ll be 50% D&H, no touch freight. You’ll be home weekly making an average of $1,460-$1,606.”
“Does that sound like something you’d be interested in?”
COMMON OBJECTIONS
THE PAY RATE IS TOO LOW
HOME DAILY ACCOUNTS
“I understand what you’re saying, but you have to realize that with these local accounts the fact that you’re home in your own bed everyday is basically part of the compensation. Most drivers are willing to take a bit less pay in exchange for that benefit. And most home daily jobs also require you to start with a night driving shift because the more desirable day shifts go to the drivers with seniority; typically those with years and years on that account.
REGIONAL & OTR ACCOUNTS
“I understand what you’re saying, but I’ll bet they didn’t guarantee you a certain amount of miles or pay per week. You need to understand that I talk to drivers every single day who took a job because the pay rate sounded really good, but now they’ve been sitting at the house for two weeks with a shiny brand new truck in the yard just waiting to get dispatched on a load. Their bills aren’t getting paid and so they call me back to ask if the job we talked about is still available. Sadly in most cases the answer ends up being no.
“The important difference here is freight volume. The carrier I’m trying to set you up with is a strong national carrier with excellent, reliable freight volume who is going to be able to make sure you’re getting your mileage in every week (and if applicable) this job has a guaranteed weekly pay of $________, so you’re going to be making money whether that truck moves an inch or not.
I DON’T WANT TO DRIVE AT NIGHT
“Most of the jobs we have require night driving at least to start. The more desirable day routes typically go to the drivers that have been on the job the longest; and that’s especially true for the local home daily jobs. Also, if you’re going to hold out for a day-time driving job, then there’s probably going to be a little less pay than what you’d be getting driving the night routes. Simply because, just like with home daily jobs, carriers know they can get away with paying a little less on those more popular accounts and shifts.
I DON’T LIKE THAT CARRIER
ME OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE WITH THAT CARRIER
“Let me ask you this: As long as the paychecks clear when you go to cash them, what difference does it really make whose logo is painted on the side of the truck? I mean I understand if you or someone you know had a bad experience once, or maybe you’ve heard rumors about someone who did. But just like any other national company, there are good employees and there are bad ones. It doesn’t necessarily reflect on the entire company and all their employees.
“The other side of that coin is that if it’s someone else that had a bad experience, then you’ve got to realize that you and I weren’t there. We don’t really know the actual circumstances around any situation because there are always two sides to every story, and you’re making important, life-changing calculations for your own life and career based on the single side of someone else’s story. And for every bad experience you’ve heard about, I can name ten drivers who love that carrier and brag about them all the time. If you have a bad experience with a Walmart employee we don’t generally boycott Walmart for the rest of our lives. And likewise, a lousy dispatcher from Houston or wherever isn’t going to be in (DRIVER’S AREA). In fact, they probably won’t be tolerated at that carrier for long at all if they’re making their drivers quit, or asking them to do something illegal…
THAT CARRIER HAS A BAD REPUTATION
“There are certain carriers who are willing to give first time drivers a seat, and problem drivers a second chance. And fortunately that’s the case, otherwise there would be no place for new drivers to cut their teeth and gain the experience they need to progress in their career. And there aren’t very many drivers out there who have a perfectly clean driving record with no dings whatsoever for as long as they’ve been in a truck.
“At the end of the day what I’m proposing is just a temporary job; not a marriage. This is a strong and reputable carrier with really nice late model trucks and they boast a pretty high retention rate. They keep their drivers out on the road earning with good, steady freight volume, and this job will provide you with an immediate opportunity to earn good money while adding more experience to your resume so that we can get you an even better job a few months down the road. Some of their drivers may not be the best there ever was, but they’re earning paychecks that clear the bank every week. In your time there you can prove the stereotype wrong. Go out there and be the best driver on the road.
TOO MUCH HOME TIME
“Most of our carriers are more than happy to let you stay out longer and take less home time if you’d rather keep your wheels turnin’ and earnin’. I’ll double check with the carrier to make sure that’s the case with this particular account, and I’ll also put you in direct contact with one of their reps so that you can ask them any other questions that you might think of.
“In the meantime, let me go ahead and get a good application on file for you. These seats are extremely competitive, and our best shot at securing a seat for you is to go ahead and get your application submitted as soon as possible, because this particular account is really popular and tends to close quickly, so it’s important that we go ahead and get your hat in the ring as quickly as possible, while we still can. Once I have a completed application on file you’ll never have to do another application with us again. With each subsequent job you take through us we just update your info and send it on to the carriers for you, allowing for a much quicker, easier, and streamlined application process for you.
I HAVE TO TALK TO MY SPOUSE…
“Hey I can totally understand and appreciate that. We want everyone to be on the same page and excited about this opportunity. But I’ll tell you what, instead of you having to try and memorize and repeat all the important information about this job, how about we get on the phone with him/her on a 3-way call, so that way I can give both of you all the information at the same time? That way I can answer any questions he/she may have as well. Can we do that right now?
IF NOT NOW, SET UP A TIME WHEN YOU CAN CALL THE DRIVER BACK TO INITIATE A 3-WAY CALL.
YES IT DOES!
“Ok, so tell me what it is that you’re currently doing, and what’s got you looking for a change today?
Listen closely to what the driver says for:
– Disqualifying facts and events
– Pain points with their current job/carrier/etc.
– Desires, ambitions, or concerns regarding future career development
Take about 5 minutes to start building rapport:
– Sympathize with the driver’s situation
– Share common experiences and interests
– Reassure the driver that we can help solve their pain points with a better job today
Build trust by:
– Asking probing questions about pay, home time, effort, etc. and what would make sense for them
– Help the driver to reach a rational decision to make a job change
– Share relevant industry trends
– Show how you can advance the driver’s career and/or relieve pain points
– Remind them that they never have to do more than 1 application with us
“Alright, let me go ahead and gather some more information so I can make sure this opportunity will be a good fit.”
PRE-SCREEN THE DRIVER
Always pre-screen every driver before you hang up the phone even if this job isn’t a good fit!!!!
That way we’ll know what if anything they’re qualified for today, and if/when they’ll be eligible again in the future.
– For this job the driver must be 23+ years of age AND have 6+ months verifiable OTR/Regional Class A CDL Tractor Trailer experience within the last 12 months OR 12+ months in the last 24.
IF THE CANDIDATE IS BOTH QUALIFIED AND INTERESTED
“OK, so far everything looks good. Let me go ahead and give you all the details about the job and the carrier from top to bottom, and at the end if you have any questions I’ll be happy to track down any additional information for you that I don’t already have.”
DO A COMPLETE PRESENTATION STARTING WITH JOB DETAILS
AFTERWARD, MOVE ON TO THE CLOSE
THE CLOSE
“Did you have any other questions about the job or the carrier that I didn’t cover?”
(If you don’t have the answer or can’t find it, assure the driver that they will be contacted by a carrier rep and can ask more detailed questions within the next 24-48 hours)
THE ‘COME TO JESUS’ MEETING
“It looks like we may have a good match here, and I’m confident that I can get you this seat if everything you’ve told me is right. But before I submit an application with my name on it I need to do two things: First I need to remind you that our carriers run about $300 worth of reports on every driver as part of the vetting process. If there’s anything on your MVR or criminal background that you haven’t told me about, they will find it and likely DQ you for it.”
“But think of me as your advocate. Kind of like an attorney. If there is anything hanging out there that might come up, then let’s get out in front of it. If it’s something that’s going to DQ you on this job or carrier, then I can save us and the carrier some time and hassle by finding something else for you that will work. Or if it’s something relatively minor, then we can add some context on the application and sort of tell your side of it from the jump, so that it’s not just some raw data on a report when it comes out that wasn’t listed on the app. That makes it look like you’re hiding something and will count as another strike against you.
“The second thing I need to do is make sure this is the job you really want. If there are any other opportunities you’re interested in or waiting to see about, then I’d encourage you to go ahead and see about those jobs and then get back with me once you’re ready to commit to this opportunity.
“When I submit an application to one of my carriers, I’m giving them the assurance that I have a qualified driver who wants the job and is committed to taking the seat if they get the offer. And when this carrier sees our apps come in, they tend to put those up at the top of the stack because they know we bring them a lot of really good, highly qualified drivers.
“If that isn’t you today then that’s fine, it’s not going to hurt my feelings, but I have to protect my relationship with our carriers. If you’re ready to get orientation scheduled then I can go ahead and get your application submitted right now.
“Would you like to go ahead and get your application in process today?
YES I WOULD!

JOB DETAILS
“This is a regional route delivering for Estes primarily East of I-35, no NYC. It’ll be 50% D&H, no touch freight. To qualify for this fleet, you must hold your Hazmat and Doubles endorsements and be comfortable with night driving, as running after dark is a regular part of keeping this freight moving efficiently.
This fleet is built for the dedicated road warrior who wants a consistent, predictable routine. You can count on getting home weekly for your 34-hour restart, allowing you to reset, recharge, and spend quality time with your family before heading back out for another high-earning week.
This position starts at an exceptional $0.73 per mile (CPM). Running 2,000-2,200 miles per week gives you an average pay of $1,460-$1,606. While Estes does not offer detention pay—as wait times are rare but occasionally occur when a load is still being prepared—we do fully protect your income when major delays happen. Transco pays layover and breakdown pay after 24 hours, giving you peace of mind and financial security if you ever face unexpected maintenance or scheduling disruptions on the road. If you are ready to maximize your paychecks while maintaining reliable weekly home time, the Solo Estes Wild Fleet is the perfect fit for you.”
