ABL Trucking, a company with 25 trucks and hiring 2 to 6 drivers a month, is no stranger to the challenges of managing recruitment in the trucking industry. Brandi Noyce, HR Manager at ABL Trucking, shares her experience transitioning to Double Nickel’s recruiting platform and the profound impact it has had on their hiring process.

The Challenge: Too Many Platforms, Too Little Time

Before partnering with Double Nickel, Brandi struggled with juggling information across multiple platforms. With hiring data scattered between Google Sheets and dispatching tools, it was time-consuming and inefficient for both her and the drivers. As Brandi explained, “It was more of a time issue for me, going from platform to platform to ensure everything was done.”

The Solution: Consolidation and Efficiency

Since implementing Double Nickel, ABL Trucking has experienced a significant transformation. The platform’s “one-stop-shop” approach allowed Brandi to streamline the entire driver hiring process. With the ability to order drug tests, motor vehicle reports (MVRs), and Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) checks all from a single platform, she can now approve documents and instantly link them to driver files, reducing administrative friction.

“Everything is already linked there, you just have to approve it,” Brandi shared, emphasizing how much time this saves her team. The user-friendly interface has made the process smoother for both Brandi and the drivers, leading to faster, more informed hiring decisions.

A Better Experience for Drivers

Drivers, too, have seen benefits. Candidates have consistently reported that the new process is “super smooth” and easy to follow. Also, instead of just receiving resumes, Brandi can now have drivers complete full applications before reaching out, giving her deeper insights into their experience and background upfront.

A Seamless Onboarding and Support Experience

Transitioning to new software can be daunting, but Brandi found the onboarding process with Double Nickel to be smooth and well-supported. She appreciated the “friendly reminders” and the clear communication from the team throughout the implementation.

“Support is great,” Brandi noted, adding that response times from the Double Nickel team were never more than 30 minutes, with a genuine openness to feedback and system improvements. Whether it’s changing button placements or addressing user needs, the support team has been responsive and adaptable.
