The Truck Driver Recruiting Agency Alternative.$1,200 per Hire, Not $5,000+. Written SLA.

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 responsibility under 49 CFR Part 391.

First candidate profiles are delivered within 7-10 business days of Engagement Activation (the day we confirm receipt of your Position Spec and the $300 engagement fee). Material changes to the position spec after activation can extend the timeline.

If a placed driver separates within 30 calendar days for a non-excluded reason, we provide one Replacement Candidate at no additional charge. 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. 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.

Submit a Position Spec (lanes, equipment, CDL class, endorsements, pay, home time) and pay the $300 engagement fee. We confirm activation within one business day. First candidate profiles arrive within 7-10 business days.

We are the alternative to a traditional truck driver recruiting agency. You get the same outcome — qualified CDL drivers placed in your seats — but governed by a written SLA at $1,200 per hire instead of a $5,000–$8,200 retainer, with no exclusivity, no long-term contract, and a 30-day replacement guarantee. We act as an AI-assisted sourcing layer on top of your existing recruiters, not a replacement for them.

AI sourcing across 645,000+ FMCSA carriers, multi-factor scoring against your lanes / equipment / CDL class / endorsements / pay / home-time, human recruiter review of the shortlist, delivery of candidate profiles to your contact, interview scheduling on request, and a Day-14 retention check-in. Not included: background checks, MVR pulls, drug & alcohol testing, medical exams, and DQ-file compilation — those remain the carrier responsibility under 49 CFR Part 391.

Industry average cost-per-hire runs $5,000–$8,200 (SHRM 2024), and traditional agencies typically bill that on an open-ended retainer. LMDR is a flat $1,200 per successful placement, milestone-billed: $300 to engage, $600 on the confirmed hire date, $300 at Day 14 of tenure. You see the full SLA before the engagement fee.

38 autonomous workflows source and score candidates across the entire FMCSA carrier universe in parallel, so a human recruiter reviews a ranked shortlist instead of dialing a rolodex. First qualified candidate profiles arrive in 7–10 business days from activation — typically weeks faster than a traditional truck driver recruiting agency.
