ABOUT INNOVATIVE DRIVER SERVICES

Innovative is a Full-Service Driver Placement Company

We specialize in screening, hiring and placing Class A CDL drivers within a carefully selected group of client companies. Our recruiting and hiring procedures are designed to find reliable and safe truck drivers.

IDS builds and maintains Driver Qualification Files for each commercial driver and these are always available for your review. In case of a DOT audit, you are covered!

We handle all off-site employee management including, but not limited to, recruiting, hiring, dispatch, benefits, payroll, tax withholding and workers’ compensation insurance.  Innovative conducts background and MVR searches and can tailor placements and hiring minimums to meet your criteria.

IDS oversees a DOT compliant driver drug and alcohol testing program and establishes drivers’ medical clearance.  All full time drivers participate in the IDS “Safety & Service Rewards!” incentive program.

We value and promote strong communication between our customers and our transportation professionals, and our staff is available to assist you 24/7/365.
