Recruiter Roundtable

On this episode of Road Gang Radio, host Jimmy Mac welcomes Marine Corps veteran and recruiting legend John Frey to reflect on 30+ years of evolution in truck driver recruiting. From handshake hires to digital dashboards, John shares stories from his time at Werner, Stevens, CR England, and more — plus how programs like Transition Trucking and veteran apprenticeships are changing lives.

On this edition of Recruiter Roundtable with Jimmy Mac, we’re joined by Jason Brady from the Bennett Family of Companies, a leader in specialized logistics with deep family roots and a people-first approach. Jason shares what makes Bennett stand out in a competitive industry—from its unwavering commitment to safety and service to a culture grounded in the core value of “We Care,” championed by CEO Marcia Taylor.

Learn how Bennett supports its owner-operators, agents, and contractors, why it’s Atlanta’s #1 Woman-Owned Business, and what opportunities are available for drivers looking to join a company that truly treats them like family. Whether you're hauling freight or thinking about making a move, this conversation is packed with insights for anyone on the road.

On this edition of the Recruiter Roundtable with Jimmy Mac, we welcome longtime industry pro David Foote—a man whose journey from admiring trucking legends in Overdrive magazine to shaping fleets across the East Coast is nothing short of legendary itself. With decades of experience in recruiting, sales, and operations for everything from flatbeds to furniture movers, David shares insights from a career that’s as diverse as the drivers he’s helped place.

Now proudly recruiting with Brown Dog, David talks about the keys to attracting the next generation of drivers—including women, younger folks, and those from all cultural backgrounds—through respect, opportunity, and honest connection. And don’t miss a surprise drop-in from Dave Nemo himself during this special Road Gang Radio segment!
