Our CDL Driver Selection Process for California Employers

Initial Consultation

Every staffing engagement begins with understanding the employer’s transportation operation. RSS works closely with fleet managers, logistics coordinators, and transportation leaders to evaluate route requirements, freight types, equipment specifications, shift schedules, and the exact scope of open driver positions. This helps ensure staffing recommendations align with operational goals and customer expectations.

Established Driver Network

As a nationwide CDL driver staffing agency in California, RSS draws from a broad network of certified commercial drivers. This recruiting reach allows employers throughout California to access qualified personnel when local hiring efforts cannot keep pace with operational demands.

Strict Candidate Qualifications

Safety and reliability remain essential in transportation staffing. RSS prioritizes drivers with relevant commercial driving experience, a record of dependable performance, and qualifications that align with assignment requirements. Depending on operational needs, placements may include CDL-A, CDL-B, local, regional, OTR, refrigerated freight, flatbed, tanker, or other transportation specialists.

Seamless Integration

Successful staffing requires more than filling an open position. RSS coordinates placement logistics and workforce support so drivers can integrate into daily operations as efficiently as possible, helping employers maintain productivity and fleet continuity from the start of an assignment.

Driver Safety and Compliance

Required Qualifications

Drivers considered for California assignments must hold a valid Commercial Driver’s License appropriate for the position, maintain an acceptable motor vehicle record, and possess any endorsements required for the freight being transported.

CDL License Requirements

Drivers must meet applicable federal and California DMV requirements, including current licensing credentials, DOT medical examination standards, and any certifications necessary for the assigned work.

Screening and Compliance

RSS conducts background checks, verifies driving history, reviews work experience, and performs compliance evaluations before placement. These processes help support operational readiness and transportation safety requirements.

Drivers for Every California Freight Specialty

Food and Beverage Trucks

Food and beverage transportation depends on timely deliveries and proper temperature control. RSS helps source drivers experienced in moving perishable products to California grocery stores, food distributors, and regional distribution centers.

Hazmat Trucks

Hazardous materials transportation requires specialized endorsements and regulatory awareness. RSS can help identify qualified drivers with appropriate credentials for assignments involving regulated materials and safety-sensitive freight.

Trailers With 2 or 3 Axles

Regional and local transportation operations frequently rely on drivers experienced with two- and three-axle trailer configurations. These professionals support a wide variety of freight movements throughout California.

Direct Store Delivery (DSD) Trucks

Direct Store Delivery drivers help transport consumer products directly to retail locations, supporting inventory replenishment while reducing reliance on centralized warehouse transfers.

Tanker Trucks

Tanker transportation requires advanced vehicle handling skills due to shifting liquid loads and unique operating conditions. RSS can assist employers seeking qualified drivers for these specialized assignments.

Class B and Non-CDL Vehicles

Many local distribution operations rely on straight trucks, box trucks, and delivery vans. RSS supports California employers by helping source Class B and non-CDL drivers for local delivery and last-mile transportation needs.

Client Testimonials

Anthony M Smith, UNFI

“Thanks for everything! 2019 has been a year to remember! It has been my pleasure to have the opportunity to engage in a working relationship with RSS.

UNFI was at the forefront of what was going to become not only a business hurdle but a national pandemic. I was faced with multiple union strikes and staffing shortages around the United States. Upon notification of my first strike (walk-out) RSS was able to provide within 48-72 hours all the support necessary to get the distribution center up and running and on-time to customers. The customers stated that the replacement workers were better than the regular workforce.

I can not tell you how much I appreciated the support you and your team was able to provide when we were faced with a national emergency.”

Regional Vice President, U.S. largest food distributor

“I wanted to reach out and thank you for the support provided. This was new territory for our management team. When it came to contingency drivers, your team stepped up in a very significant way during a very troubling time for our distribution center. Not only were you there for us, but you proved to be extremely fast and flexible with filling our needs in under 48 hours notice. Your onsite management of your driver contingency team was the exact partnership we needed to ensure we could focus our time on our customers.”
