Dollar General’s truck drivers are quite literally the engine that keeps the company running and growing. As the company strives to become more efficient, reduce out-of-stocks in its stores, and expand the ways in which it reaches American consumers, it’s putting significant investment in aggressively expanding its private fleet of CDL drivers.
Aggressive CDL driver hiring–to the tune of doubling the in-house driver fleet within a year–is a key part of Dollar General’s growth strategy. “As a result of this planned growth, we believe our private fleet will become an increasingly significant competitive advantage as it gives us greater operational control within our own supply chain, while further optimizing our cost structure,” explains Dollar General CEO Jeff Owen.
