Our Team and How We Work

The people

Priya Nair — recruiting. Matches drivers with carriers and writes about recruiter workflows, how fast carriers respond to applicants, job ads and early-tenure retention at small fleets.

Tom Whitaker — safety and compliance. Covers driver qualification files, Clearinghouse queries, drug and alcohol testing and road tests, translating Part 391 and Part 382 into everyday checklists.

Central Cargo Express editors plan topics, review every article for accuracy and keep older guides current.

How we work

Drivers first. We only pass your details to carriers that fit what you asked for, and we tell you in the form who may receive them.

Check the source. If we mention a regulation, we link to the regulation, not to somebody's summary of it.

Write for the small fleet. Many of our carrier partners run between five and fifty trucks. Advice that only works with a twenty-person recruiting team doesn't belong here.

Say what we don't know. Rules change, and industry statistics vary by source. When numbers are estimates, we say so.

Be open about relationships. Carriers are the ones who pay for our matching, so an article that mentions a partner carrier says so.

Fix mistakes in public. Corrected articles show the update date.
