architectureWhy Carriers Switch from Tenstreet
Many carriers across the country find that legacy ATS platforms like Tenstreet were built for a different era — before AI matching, real-time safety data, and driver-centric experiences existed.
Common reasons carriers leave Tenstreet:
- High cost-per-hire with no performance guarantee
- No real-time FMCSA safety screening built in
- Recruiter workflows that slow down time-to-hire
- Limited visibility into driver quality and retention risk
- No AI-powered match scoring to surface best-fit candidates first

integration_instructionsKey Differences
AI-first vs form-first: VelocityMatch scores every candidate against FMCSA, pay, and fit signals before a recruiter sees them. Tenstreet routes applications without intelligence.
Driver experience: LMDR gives drivers an AI-powered portal. Tenstreet treats drivers as application submitters.
Safety guardrails: VelocityMatch automatically blocks unsafe carrier matches. Tenstreet requires manual review.
