In transportation and logistics, safety is not simply a priority; it is a promise. For more than 40 years, Highway Driver Leasing has built its reputation on delivering drivers who bring both reliability and a proven commitment to safe operations.
Not every staffing agency shares that standard. Many prioritize filling assignments quickly, which often results in placing drivers still in their first year behind the wheel. Industry research demonstrates the risk of that approach. Nearly half of all workplace accidents involve drivers within their first year, especially in the early months of employment. After a full year on the road, accident rates decline sharply as drivers gain seasoned judgment and situational awareness.
This data supports a principle that guides everything we do: experience is the most effective safety strategy.
Highway Driver Leasing exclusively partners with qualified professionals who have at least two years of CDL experience, and in practice, most of our drivers have more than five years on the road. They arrive with a documented safety record, advanced operational maturity, and the skill to navigate demanding assignments without unnecessary risk.
The difference is clear. Other agencies may supply drivers who are still learning. Highway Driver Leasing delivers seasoned operators who already know how to perform safely, protect cargo, and support uninterrupted operations from day one.
At HDL we match companies with drivers who bring skill, maturity, and a proven safety record. Our process includes:
- DOT compliance and rigorous driver screening
- No forced dispatch—drivers choose assignments that that suit them best
- Full benefits and flexible schedules that reduce fatigue and burnout
Our team understands that safety isn’t just about policies, it’s about people. We work closely with both drivers and companies to create partnerships built on trust, transparency, and shared values. Whether you’re a CDL Class A driver looking for a dependable employer, or a company seeking reliable talent, HDL is here to help you succeed safely.
