As of late, the demand for qualified truck drivers has never been greater. According to recent reports, the American Trucking Association expects a shortage of over 160,000 drivers by 2030. That is to say, companies are struggling not only to hire drivers—but also to uphold the objective of hiring safe drivers.
In other words, the industry is not just about filling seats. It’s about putting responsible, qualified individuals behind the wheel. Above all, the safety of your fleet, your cargo, and everyone on the road depends on it.
So, what can be done? Trucking companies need more than resumes and interviews. They need solid systems for verifying experience and evaluating driving behavior. This is where Alliance Insurance steps in with the help of its trusted network of partners.

So, what can be done? Trucking companies need more than resumes and interviews. They need solid systems for verifying experience and evaluating driving behavior. This is where Alliance Insurance comes in.
Alliance Insurance works alongside trucking companies and fleet managers. We help them navigate the complex process of hiring qualified drivers. Certainly, our mission is to reduce risk, protect your company, and strengthen your hiring practices.
For example, we offer comprehensive driving record checks that reveal a candidate’s full driving history. Moreover, some of our insurance carriers offer training programs to help identify unsafe driving habits before they lead to incidents. As a result, our clients are more confident when they hire. And their roads, their fleets, and their bottom lines are safer because of it.
We are a:
Most importantly, hiring decisions should be based on facts—not assumptions. That’s where a driving record check becomes indispensable. For instance, these reports show past accidents, traffic violations, DUI charges, and license suspensions. This helps you assess whether a candidate can safely operate your company’s vehicles.
Likewise, it helps identify patterns. A single speeding ticket may not be alarming. However, repeated violations point to risky behavior. Due to this, companies should rely on background screening and stick to hiring safe drivers.
It’s not just about compliance.
It’s about protecting lives.
To clarify, a driver background check goes beyond just DMV records.
It also includes employment history, criminal records, drug test results, and more.
So, why does this matter?
In addition, background checks reveal gaps in employment or false information. You’ll know if someone has misrepresented their experience or credentials. That is to say, you’ll be able to spot red flags before it’s too late.
Meanwhile, in cities like Miami, the pressure is even higher. Drivers in Miami are in high demand due to the region’s booming freight activity. However, the challenge is finding candidates who meet your safety standards. In other words, it’s not about quantity—it’s about quality.
For example, a driver may be available immediately but have multiple moving violations. Do you want them transporting your cargo? Probably not. So, our support is tailored to help companies in Miami and beyond. We help them sift through applicants to find the safest, most reliable drivers available.
Unfortunately, some companies still skip background checks to fill seats faster. But, this shortcut often comes at a high price. For instance, hiring someone with a suspended license or prior DUIs can lead to serious legal issues.
Worse, they may cause an accident that results in injury—or worse. Most importantly, skipping a driving record check undermines your commitment to safety. In short, a bad hire can cost you far more than a delay in your schedule.
To sum it up, various consequences of skipping the screening process may emerge, including:
We start by collecting key details about your driver candidates. This includes license numbers and basic identifying info.
We run a driving record check and full driver background check. You receive a clear, easy-to-read report with any red flags highlighted.
Next, we review the findings with you. We'll explain how each driver’s record could affect your liability, safety scores, and insurance coverage.
Finally, you use the data to make informed hiring decisions. Above all, our service gives you peace of mind that you're bringing the right people into your fleet.
Let’s say you run a fleet of 25 trucks. You’ve had a few minor claims, but nothing serious. However, your insurance rates are creeping up. Why? Chances are, your insurer is evaluating your risk based on the drivers you hire. In other words, if your drivers have a history of tickets, your company becomes a liability.
So, what’s the solution?
As a result:
In addition to background checks, some of our carriers offer safety training programs to assist you with hiring safe drivers. These are designed to detect risky behaviors early.
For example, simulated driving tests, reaction time monitoring, and situational awareness drills. Above all, these tools reveal how a driver might respond in real-life conditions.
Most importantly, training helps reduce accidents before they happen. It prepares drivers—not just tests them. That’s a major win for your company.
Certainly, fewer accidents mean fewer claims. Fewer claims mean lower premiums. It’s that simple. But, the best way to lower claims is by avoiding them altogether. So, our job is to support you from the very start.
From the moment you begin to hire a driver, we offer tools to help you make informed decisions. And, should a claim ever arise, we’re here to support you through it.
Getting started is easy. You don’t need to overhaul your whole hiring process overnight. For instance, start with just one hire.
Let us help you evaluate that applicant by connecting you to our trusted network of background check service providers. Then compare that experience to your usual process. Chances are, you’ll see the difference. In other words, peace of mind is just a phone call away.
To conclude, hiring safe drivers with proper qualifications is no longer optional—it’s essential. The cost of bad hires is too high. The risks are too great. Above all, your people are your most important asset. The right drivers can move your company forward. The wrong ones can bring it to a halt.
