Driver Market Launches Reverse-Sourcing Marketplace for CDL Drivers and Carriers
NewsData.io · United States · Aug 24, 2026
Driver Market, founded by 27-year transportation industry veteran John Kaminskas, has launched a digital marketplace that flips the traditional recruiting model — drivers build a single verified profile and carriers search a live database, rather than relying on job boards and recruiter outreach. The platform targets the high cost of conventional driver recruiting, which the company estimates at $3,000–$8,000 per hire, offering carriers a flat subscription starting at $699/month that it claims can reduce hiring costs by up to 90%. The launch introduces specialized run divisions (OTR, Dedicated, Flatbed, Regional, etc.) and credential badge filtering, positioning itself as a boutique alternative to automated matching tools in the trucking sector.
