Solving the Driver Shortage in Montreal

When people leave careers, either through retirement or a change of direction in life, it is normally expected that the younger generation would fill up the positions from bottom up, in what is generally described as the “career cycle”.

However, this has not always been the case in the logistics industry in Montreal, where there has been a great deficit of applicants to take up the positions of those who quit the industry. It is sad to note that applications for truck driving jobs have dropped by over 33% since 2011.

At Yott Personnel, we have been working hard over the past few decades to ensure that there is continuity in the employment cycle in the logistics industry, especially to ensure that companies have access to a large pool of competent truck drivers they could engage at any time.

We have managed to achieve this by recruiting the right people, who have the desire and motivation to perform as the best drivers in Montreal.

Whenever a prospective employee registers with us, we take them through our rigorous recruitment process and then match them to the right companies. As we are all aware, different companies have different cultures, and due to this, it is vital to match the right drivers to the right organizations, and this is what has been responsible for our success over the years.

How we manage to retain drivers

Drivers, being the most agile group of employees in the logistics industry, are not easy to retain. And truth be told, we do nothing to retain them. On the contrary, you are the ones responsible for retaining them. We make this easy for you because our recruitment process allows you to employ the right people who have decided to take on truck driving jobs in Montreal and thus have the motivation and dedication to serve.
