We’re a very specialized private fleet, and we needed the right data to compare our pay packages against the right carriers to set our pay packages exactly where we wanted them to be in the market. Using NTI’s data sets, we were able to see where our pay was, perform a pay analysis, and build pay ranges supported by the data we needed. NTI’s National Private Fleet Survey has been a critical guiding tool to look at bottom line W2 earnings for drivers we were competing for and help us have real conversations with current and prospective drivers about their actual take-home pay and how competitive it is in the market. It helped us separate fact from fiction when comparing what drivers see being advertised for per-mile pay and what their bottom-line annual earnings really are.

CHANGING DRIVER PROFILE REQUIRES
NEW RETENTION STRATEGIES
“Driver turnover doesn’t have to be something that continues to be part of the culture in the trucking industry.” NTI’s Leah Shaver spoke with Transport Dive last month about how the driver job is changing — from routing and scheduling needs of shippers to the diversity and desires of the modern workforce — and strategies for fleets to adapt their approaches to pay, retention, and opportunities.

RECRUITING AND RETAINING DRIVERS IN A
POST-PANDEMIC WORLD
“In an industry overinvesting in recruiting due to widely-accepted turnover, the past two years has made it evident that the ROI of shifting resources and energy to retention efforts is valuable to companies and employees alike.” NTI's Leah Shaver offered commentary in HireRight's annual Transportation Spotlight Report about the value of focusing on retention over the widely accepted costs of employee churn. See her advice for fleets and more insights in this report from FleetOwner.
