"We are facing an increasing shortage of truck drivers making it critical for our industry to find and put qualified people behind the wheel," said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. "ATA first partnered with FASTPORT in December 2014 for the veteran hiring initiative, Hiring Our Heroes Trucking Track, a program managed by FASTPORT. It makes sense to take the next step and address the commercial market with JobMaps and we are very happy to have this program as our latest ATA Featured Product."

"FASTPORT is proud of ATA's selection of JobMaps," said FASTPORT CEO Bill McLennan, "and we look forward to helping all the ATA's members, large and small, grow their fleets with well-matched drivers."

JobMaps was designed and developed by industry veterans, from trucking company owners to the drivers themselves. The system allows carriers to create unique job postings called JobMaps, which tie trucking-specific job attributes to the carrier's hiring areas. Using this data, the system then sends those postings to new cities, niche job sites, pay-per-click boards and veteran hiring locations. Then FASTPORT ties the entire process together with tracking and reporting features, allowing carriers to constantly improve results.

FASTPORT was founded in 2010 by trucking company owners to help solve the Trucking Industry's recruiting and hiring problems. FASTPORT invented JobMaps™—user-friendly software to aid the job searching and hiring process, providing better careers for drivers and growth for carriers. FASTPORT's non-commercial division is uniting the Industry's effort to educate, hire and inspire military veterans through its Trucking Track initiative in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Hiring Our Heroes Foundation.
