Company profile
researched Aug 2026TransForce is a U.S. provider of commercial driver's license (CDL) driver recruitment, staffing, safety and compliance services for the transportation and logistics industry. The company positions itself as a national provider of driver talent acquisition and employment solutions, dispatching more than 2,500 drivers daily and serving over 3,000 carrier customers.
Its carrier-facing service lines include driver outsourcing through a Managed Workforce program that consolidates staffing, payroll, benefits, workers' compensation and safety oversight; driver staffing for short-term, long-term and temp-to-perm assignments; driver recruitment support that extends a customer's in-house recruiting capacity; and driver marketing that supplies qualified leads from a proprietary platform. On the driver side, TransForce operates a job board and the TF1 mobile app for iOS and Android that notifies drivers of newly posted CDL roles at TransForce and partner carriers, and states it can offer roughly 100,000 jobs per year.
TransForce also runs a CDL school and ELDT theory certification and behind-the-wheel training for aspiring drivers, with CDL training and certification campuses located on military bases across the United States; the company reports approximately 2,500 veterans graduating annually and markets itself to employers seeking CDL-certified U.S. military veterans.
Business model
TransForce contracts with carriers, private fleets and shippers to supply CDL drivers under several engagement models: driver outsourcing (a "Managed Workforce" program in which drivers are employed by TransForce, which handles payroll, payroll taxes, benefits such as PTO, holiday, sick days, medical/vision/dental coverage and 401(k), workers' compensation claims, DQ file maintenance, drug screening, MVR checks and safety training), driver staffing on short-term, long-term and temp-to-perm assignments, recruitment services that supplement a customer's own recruiting staff, and driver marketing that delivers qualified leads from a proprietary platform to reduce cost-per-hire. On the supply side, the company recruits drivers directly and trains new entrants through its CDL school and ELDT theory certification programs, including campuses on U.S. military bases.
Revenue is generated from carriers and fleets that lease or outsource drivers and buy recruitment and driver-marketing services; under the outsourcing model drivers are employed by TransForce, which bills customers while absorbing payroll, benefits, workers' compensation and compliance administration. The company also provides CDL training and ELDT certification to aspiring drivers.
Traction
