The national average is 38 days. Every one of those days, your truck sits. Your route bleeds. Your dispatcher improvises. Dispatch fills the seat before the cost becomes a line item.
In-House vs. Agency vs. Dispatch RPO
Six metrics that determine whether your fleet runs or sits. Pick the column that wins every row.
Every metric above is sourced from verified 2025 cohort data and SHRM / ATA industry benchmarks.
See Your Cost-Per-HireEvery day a seat is open,
the meter is running.
Your TTF isn't a recruiting metric. It's a revenue leak. Here's what 30 open seats cost per day across three cost categories.
Average revenue per truck per day (ATA 2025). One empty seat for 30 days = half a recruiter's annual salary, gone.
Average overtime cost per unfilled seat — spread across drivers covering the gap at 1.5x. Compounds with every week unfilled.
Average daily liability from HOS violations when fatigued drivers cover extra routes. FMCSA fines average $16,000 per incident.
