Source CDL Candidates With Written Terms

Traditional agencies charge $5,000-$8,200 per placement and operate without a written scope or timeline. LMDR is governed by a written Driver Placement Services Agreement: $1,200 total per hire, milestone-billed ($300 engage / $600 placement / $300 retention), 7-10 business days to first candidates, 30-day replacement guarantee with explicit exclusions. You see the SLA before you pay the engagement fee.

AI sourcing across 645,000+ FMCSA carriers, screening against your CDL-class / endorsement / experience requirements, outreach to qualifying candidates, delivery of candidate profiles to your designated contact, interview scheduling on request, and a Day-14 retention check-in. Background checks, MVR pulls, drug & alcohol testing, medical exams, and DQ-file compilation are NOT included — those remain Carrier's responsibility under 49 CFR Part 391.

First candidate profiles are delivered within 7-10 business days of Engagement Activation (§3.2 of the SLA). Engagement Activation is the day we confirm receipt of your Position Specification (Exhibit A) and the $100 engagement fee. Material changes to the position spec after activation can extend the timeline — we'll notify you.

If a placed driver separates within 30 calendar days of Hire Date for a reason not on the exclusion list, we provide one Replacement Candidate at no additional charge (already-paid engagement fee carries forward). You must notify us in writing within 5 business days of separation, and you must give us 20 business days to source a replacement before engaging another agency for the same seat. Replacement is the sole and exclusive remedy — no fee refunds.

Nine specific exclusions (§6): driver voluntarily quit without Carrier-controllable cause, driver terminated for misconduct/dishonesty/violence/drug-policy violation, Carrier materially changed pay or routes from Exhibit A, position eliminated, Carrier-controllable separation (equipment, dispatch, payroll), Carrier failed to notify within 5 business days, Carrier re-hired the driver independently, separation occurred after Day 30, or any LMDR fees were unpaid when the guarantee was invoked.

No. The SLA covers a single Position Request at a time. Either side can terminate the agreement with 14 days' notice for convenience, or immediately for material breach with a 5-day cure period. Engagement fees on active Position Requests remain payable; Section 9 (confidentiality), Section 10 (non-solicitation), and Section 11 (liability) survive termination.

No. We act as a sourcing layer. Most carriers keep their internal recruiters and use LMDR-delivered candidate profiles as qualified inbound for their existing CRM, ATS, or onboarding flow. We do not contact your drivers, manage your pipeline, or run your interviews unless you ask.

The placement SLA is per-position, so it scales from single-truck owner-operators hiring their first employee up to enterprise fleets running multiple Position Requests in parallel. Each position requires its own Exhibit A and engagement fee.
