A driver is looking for a different route, a new employer, or an owner operator opportunity. Your recruiter needs to hear what that person wants before discussing an opening. Truck driver leads start that exchange with someone actively searching online. A live call gives the driver room to explain home time priorities and preferred work, while a submitted request gives your team an inquiry to review before following up.
PingCalls sources driver requests through our own websites and vetted partner sources. Choose the states where you recruit and the applicable request types your team handles. Build the setup around actual recruiter availability, including time spent reviewing applications and keeping current candidates moving. Driver leads fit fleets and recruiting teams that want incoming interest with clear geographic and workload limits, plus a written quote they can assess without taking a sales call.
Give interested drivers a route to your team
Inbound calls
Hear drivers explain route interests and home time priorities directly to your recruiter.
Read more
The driver searches online, dials, and reaches your recruiting phone live. Your recruiter can ask about the kind of driving work sought, home base, and availability for a longer application discussion. Set answering hours to the times someone is ready to hear the driver's priorities and explain your next step.
Exclusive web leads
Review driver interest submitted to your CRM, choosing exclusive distribution for the purchased inquiry.
Read more
A driver completes an inquiry form with documented consent. The submission arrives by email or posts to your CRM, giving your recruiter a written starting point for follow-up. Select exclusive distribution to send that request to one buyer in your area, then organize the conversation around the work the driver actually requested.
Live transfers
Continue a driver-initiated inquiry through a warm hand-off to an available recruiter.
Read more
Receive a warm hand-off from a driver who initiated contact and is already speaking on the line. This format suits a recruiting desk ready to continue the conversation immediately. Ask about the driver's interest, discuss the type of opportunity, and explain the application process your organization uses for new candidates.

What affects your driver inquiry quote
Your recruiting quote depends on the driver requests and coverage you select. States, request categories, delivery format, and exclusivity all shape the proposed purchase.
Read more
Include the hours and capacity of your recruiting desk so the quote reflects how your organization plans to receive and handle new interest.
Recruiting geography
Recruiting states and competition for driver inquiries shape your buying proposal.
Read more
Different state selections create different sourcing requirements. Competition for driver inquiries also varies, so list the territory you want clearly instead of requesting broad coverage your recruiters do not actually handle.
Driver inquiry focus
Company driver and owner operator interests define the recruiting requests quoted.
Read more
Company driver requests and owner operator leads start different conversations. Specify the applicable request type your team wants to receive, then use your recruiting process to discuss the work and application requirements.
Contact format
Driver call, transfer, or form delivery and optional exclusivity influence lead pricing.
Read more
A live call, warm transfer, and web submission use recruiter time differently. The format you choose affects the quote, along with whether you select exclusive distribution for the purchased driver inquiry.
Recruiter coverage
Recruiter hours and desired volume shape intake alongside application review work.
Read more
Hours and requested volume help define the proposed setup. Use caps to preserve time for candidate follow-up, application review, and coordination with the people responsible for the next stage of hiring.

Before choosing a source, check how driver interest reaches your desk, which states are included, and how the provider distributes each inquiry among its buyers.
| PingCalls | Shared lead marketplaces | |
|---|---|---|
| Driver inquiry recipients | Choose exclusive for one area buyer per purchased inquiry. | Shared requests can reach multiple recruiting buyers. |
| Recruiter contact | Calls ring live; web submissions go to email or CRM. | Candidate contact methods depend on the offer. |
| State coverage | Select the states for your recruiting setup. | Available recruiting territories vary. |
| Intake control | Choose recruiter hours and daily or weekly caps. | Check each service's delivery controls. |
| Buying decision | Review your driver lead proposal by email. | Purchase arrangements differ by marketplace. |
Keep driver inquiry records clear
Invalid driver numbers, duplicate recruiting inquiries, and requests outside your accepted recruiting area qualify for credits under the returns policy.
Read more
Bad numbers, duplicate requests, and drivers outside your agreed area qualify for credit review under the returns policy; see Lead Quality & Returns. Keep the original submission and the specific mismatch together so your recruiter can explain what went wrong without losing the context of the driver's request.
A lead records interest, not a verified driver qualification or hiring decision. Your recruiting process handles that assessment. Maintain the inquiry context for follow-up, and follow applicable calling and texting rules when contacting drivers about the opportunities they requested.
- Bad driver contact numbers
- Repeated driver interest submissions
- Drivers outside accepted recruiting coverage
CDL lead buying questions
How much do CDL driver leads cost?
The quote reflects recruiting states, competition, driver request type, format, exclusivity, hours, and requested volume. Tell us which inquiries belong at your recruiting desk and when someone answers. You receive a written proposal by email to assess against your recruiters' capacity for handling new driver conversations.
Are driver inquiries sent only to my team?
They are sent to one buyer in your area when you select an exclusive option. Include that preference when requesting the recruiting setup and check it in your proposal. The driver still chooses which opportunities to pursue, while the purchased inquiry follows the distribution arrangement you selected.
How will recruiters receive new driver leads?
Live calls ring the chosen recruiting phone, while completed web inquiries arrive in email or your CRM. Assign that destination to a team member responsible for first contact. A driver who can explain their interests immediately needs an attentive recruiter ready to discuss the application process and next steps.
Can I recruit from specific states?
Yes, your setup can specify the states where you want driver inquiries. Start with the markets your recruiting team handles and include the relevant request types. We check that territory as part of preparing your emailed proposal, giving your recruiting manager a defined area to assess.
What should I do with a duplicate driver request?
Request a credit review and retain both the new inquiry and the record showing the duplication. The returns policy also addresses bad numbers and requests outside your agreed geography. Note the specific issue so the review can compare the inquiry with the recruiting setup your team accepted.
When can CDL inquiry delivery start?
Driver recruiting inquiry delivery can start once your quote is accepted and filters are set, subject to availability. Have your recruiting states, request preferences, receiving destination, and hours ready. Choose caps that leave recruiters time for meaningful conversations and for applicants already moving through your internal hiring process.
Can I request owner operator leads?
Yes, include owner operator inquiries as your preferred request type when asking for a recruiting quote. That tells us which driver conversations you want checked for coverage. Your recruiter can then discuss the opportunity, the driver's situation, and the information required by your own application process.
How do caps work for a small recruiting team?
Daily or weekly caps limit how many inquiries your setup can deliver during the chosen period. Set them around the recruiters handling new interest alongside application review and existing candidates. They set a workload boundary rather than promising a particular number of drivers or completed applications.
