Outbound Campaigns — AI Driver Recruiting Calls

⚙ Process

How an Outbound Campaign Runs

From CSV upload to morning report, Morgan handles every step of your recruiting outreach automatically. Here is the full workflow, start to finish.

Upload Your Driver Contact List

Export your leads from any source — job boards, referral lists, previous applicants, purchased lead databases — and upload them as a CSV file. Each row needs a name and phone number at minimum. You can also include optional fields like city, state, CDL class, years of experience, and any notes you want Morgan to reference during the call. The system accepts lists of any size, from 10 contacts for a targeted campaign to 10,000+ for large-scale recruiting pushes. Duplicate phone numbers are automatically detected and removed. Invalid numbers are flagged before the campaign starts so you do not waste call minutes on dead lines.

Configure Your Recruiting Pitch

Tell Morgan exactly what to say. Specify your truck type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, tanker), pay structure (CPM, percentage, flat rate per load), home time policy (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly), route details (OTR, regional, dedicated), and any standout benefits like sign-on bonuses, fuel cards, rider policies, or pet-friendly trucks. Morgan learns your specific pitch and delivers it naturally — she does not read from a rigid script. You can create multiple pitch variations for different driver profiles. Want to emphasize home time for local drivers and pay rate for OTR candidates? Set up two campaigns with different pitches targeting different segments of your list.

Set Your Campaign Schedule

Choose when Morgan makes calls. The system respects time zones automatically — if a driver’s area code is in Pacific time, Morgan will not call at 6 AM Eastern. You can schedule calls during standard business hours (8 AM – 8 PM local time) or set up overnight batch campaigns where Morgan works through your entire list between 9 PM and 7 AM. Overnight campaigns are popular because drivers who are currently employed often cannot answer during the day. You can also set callback windows, retry limits for unanswered calls, and blackout dates when no calls should go out. The scheduler handles weekends and holidays according to your preferences.

Morgan Calls Each Contact

Morgan dials each number on your list and introduces herself by name. She delivers your recruiting pitch conversationally, adjusting her tone and pacing based on the driver’s responses. She handles questions about pay, routes, home time, equipment age, and benefits in real time using GPT-4o language generation. She asks qualifying questions to determine if the driver is a good fit: CDL class (A or B), years of experience, endorsements (hazmat, tanker, doubles/triples), current employment status, availability to start, and interest level. If the driver asks a question Morgan does not have an answer for, she notes it and offers to have a recruiter follow up with the specific information. Calls typically last 2–4 minutes for interested drivers and under 60 seconds for those who decline.

Interested Leads Flagged & Routed

When a driver expresses interest, Morgan captures their qualification details and either schedules a callback with your recruiter or transfers them directly to a live person if your team is available. Every interested lead includes a complete summary: driver name, contact info, CDL class, experience level, endorsements, preferred route type, availability, and any specific questions they asked. Do-not-call requests are immediately respected and the number is permanently removed from all future campaigns. Drivers who say “not right now but maybe later” are tagged for re-engagement campaigns at a future date you specify.

Morning Report Delivered

By the time your recruiters sit down with their coffee, the campaign report is waiting. It shows exactly how many contacts were called, how many answered, how many expressed interest, how many requested callbacks, how many declined, and how many numbers were unreachable. Each interested lead has a detailed profile card with all qualification data and a transcript summary. Your recruiters can immediately start making warm follow-up calls to drivers who already know about your company and have expressed genuine interest. No more cold calling into the void — every call your recruiter makes is to someone who already said “yes, tell me more.”

End-to-end automation. You upload a list and configure the pitch once. Morgan handles everything else — dialing, qualifying, sorting, and reporting — without any human intervention until warm leads are ready for your recruiter.

🎤 Conversation

Morgan’s Pitch — What She Actually Says

Here is a real example of how a typical outbound campaign call flows. Morgan adapts in real time based on driver responses.

Morgan: “Hey James, this is Morgan calling from Midwest Express — do you have a quick second?”

Driver: “Sure, what’s this about?”

Morgan: “We’re looking for experienced CDL-A drivers for OTR dry van runs. Consistent miles, home every two to three weeks, and competitive CPM. Does that sound like something you’d want to hear more about?”

Driver: “Yeah, maybe. What’s the pay look like?”

Morgan: “We’re starting experienced drivers at 58 cents per mile with a guaranteed minimum of 2,500 miles per week. There’s also a $3,000 sign-on bonus paid out over the first 90 days. How long have you been driving?”

Driver: “About six years now. I’ve been doing reefer mostly but I’m open to dry van.”

Morgan: “Six years is great. Do you have any endorsements — hazmat, tanker, doubles?”

Driver: “I’ve got hazmat and tanker.”

Morgan: “Perfect. And when would you be available to start if everything checks out?”

Driver: “I could probably start in about two weeks. I need to give notice at my current company.”

Morgan: “That works perfectly. I’m going to pass your information along to our recruiting team — they’ll reach out within 24 hours to go over the full details, answer any questions, and get the application started. Sound good?”

Driver: “Yeah, sounds good. Thanks for calling.”

Morgan never reads from a script word-for-word. GPT-4o generates natural responses in real time. Drivers do not know they are talking to AI unless they specifically ask — and if they do, Morgan is honest about it.

How Morgan Handles Objections

“I’m not looking right now”

Morgan thanks them for their time, asks if she can call back in a few months, and tags the contact for re-engagement. No pressure, no awkwardness. The contact stays in your pipeline for future campaigns.

“What company is this?”

Morgan gives your company name, location, fleet size (if provided), and a brief overview. She can share your website URL and offer to text a link to your application page if the driver wants to learn more before committing.

“Take me off your list”

Morgan immediately confirms the removal, apologizes for the interruption, and the number is permanently added to your do-not-call list. Compliance is automatic and instant — no manual scrubbing needed.

“Can you call me back later?”

Morgan asks for a preferred time, schedules the callback, and the system automatically re-dials at the requested time. The callback includes full context so Morgan picks up where the conversation left off.

Voice Quality & Natural Language

Morgan uses advanced text-to-speech technology that sounds natural and conversational. She pauses at appropriate moments, uses conversational filler words like “great” and “gotcha,” and adjusts her speaking pace based on the driver’s responses. When a driver speaks quickly, Morgan matches their energy. When a driver is more deliberate, Morgan slows down. This adaptive pacing makes the conversation feel human and keeps drivers engaged longer — which directly increases your qualification rate.

📋 Campaign Types

Campaign Types

Morgan handles more than just driver recruiting. Three primary campaign types cover the most common outbound use cases in transportation.

🚚

Driver Recruiting

The primary use case. Upload CDL driver leads from job boards, referral lists, or purchased databases. Morgan calls each contact, delivers your recruiting pitch, and qualifies their interest based on CDL class, experience, endorsements, route preferences, and availability. Interested drivers are flagged as warm leads with complete qualification profiles and routed to your recruiting team for follow-up. This campaign type is responsible for filling driver seats faster than traditional cold-calling methods by processing hundreds of contacts per night while your recruiters sleep. Morning reports include detailed lead cards with every piece of qualification data captured during the conversation.

🏢

Carrier Acquisition

Call carrier contacts to introduce your freight brokerage or logistics platform. Morgan qualifies each carrier by fleet size, equipment types, preferred lanes, insurance status, and authority age. She can explain your load board, payment terms, and onboarding process. Interested carriers are scheduled for a demo or passed directly to your carrier sales team with all qualification data attached. This campaign type is especially effective for brokerages scaling their carrier network, where the goal is to identify carriers with capacity in specific lanes and get them signed up before the competition does. Morgan can process hundreds of carrier contacts per campaign cycle.

🔄

Re-Engagement

Call drivers who started an application but did not finish, drivers who were qualified but never showed up for orientation, or inactive carriers who have not hauled a load in 30+ days. Morgan reaches out with a friendly check-in, asks what happened, and offers to help them complete the process. Re-engagement campaigns typically have the highest conversion rates because these contacts already expressed initial interest — they just need a nudge. Morgan can reference specific details from their previous interaction: “I see you started an application with us about three weeks ago and got through the CDL verification. Would you like to pick up where you left off?”

Mix and match. You can run multiple campaign types simultaneously. A driver recruiting campaign at night, a carrier acquisition campaign during business hours, and a re-engagement campaign on weekends — all managed from a single dashboard.

Advanced Campaign Settings

Retry Logic

Configure how many times Morgan should retry unanswered calls. Set the retry interval (2 hours, 4 hours, next day) and the maximum number of attempts before marking a contact as unreachable. Most campaigns use 3 attempts over 48 hours, which captures the majority of answerable contacts without being aggressive. Voicemail detection is built in — Morgan can leave a brief voicemail on the first unanswered call and skip voicemail on retries to avoid annoying the recipient.

Segmentation

Split your contact list into segments based on any field in your CSV. Run different pitches for different segments: emphasize home time for drivers in metropolitan areas, emphasize pay for drivers in rural areas, emphasize benefits for drivers with families. Segmentation lets you tailor Morgan’s approach to each audience without creating separate campaigns. Results are reported per segment so you can see which pitch resonates best with which demographic.

Compliance Filters

Built-in TCPA compliance features include time-zone-aware calling windows, automatic do-not-call list management, and call frequency caps. Morgan will never call a number more than once per day, will never call outside of legal calling hours in the recipient’s time zone, and will immediately honor any opt-out request. All calls are logged with timestamps and consent records for your compliance team to review.

Custom Qualification Criteria

Define exactly what qualifies a “warm lead” for your operation. Maybe you only want drivers with 3+ years of experience and a hazmat endorsement. Maybe you only want carriers with 10+ trucks and active authority. Set your criteria and Morgan will only flag contacts who meet your specific requirements. Everyone else gets a polite “thank you” and is removed from the active pipeline. This prevents your recruiters from wasting time on leads that do not match your needs.

Conversion Funnel

Every outbound campaign generates a conversion funnel you can analyze to optimize future campaigns. The funnel tracks contacts from initial upload through hire.

Funnel Stages

Uploaded → Dialed → Connected → Pitched → Interested → Qualified → Callback Scheduled → Recruiter Contact → Application Started → Hired. Each stage shows the count and drop-off percentage so you can identify where drivers fall out of your pipeline and adjust your pitch, timing, or qualification criteria accordingly.

A/B Testing

Run two versions of the same campaign with different pitches and compare results side by side. Test whether emphasizing pay or home time generates more interest. Test whether calling at 6 PM or 9 PM gets higher connection rates. Test whether a shorter pitch or a more detailed pitch converts better. The analytics dashboard shows both campaigns in parallel with statistical significance indicators so you know when you have enough data to declare a winner.

Historical data builds intelligence. The more campaigns you run, the smarter the system gets. Morgan learns which pitches work best for different driver demographics, which times generate the highest connection rates, and which qualification criteria produce the most hires. Your campaigns get more effective over time without any manual optimization.
