Girl Scouts learning about trucking careers

Girl Scout events in trucking are the quietest recruiting campaign in the industry: they meet the workforce gap decades before the hire. A career seen at ten is a career chosen at twenty-five.

The recruiter is the classroom

Showing a young person the dashboard, the dispatch screen, and the people who run the lane does more than a job board can. It names the profession to the generation that will work it.

For the industry, the girl scout troop is the supply curve of the future workforce, discovered early and narrated honestly.

The talent pipeline starts when a career looks possible.
