Hot Seat Services
Being built by a driver, for drivers we keep in mind “If the wheels aren’t turning, you aren’t earning”
We Place GOOD DRIVERS IN GOOD JOBS and WE WORK FOR YOU!
What we can do for you.
IT’S SIMPLE, With one application from you we can place all our carrier lanes at your fingertips. We find out what you’re looking for, what matters to you most and we present offers that line up to that. We will explain both good and bad of all options and await your decision to proceed. We don’t share your data or application with anyone until you pick a lane and carrier and from there they get it and no one else.
We want you to be happy and make money. To do so we found that being straight shooters who inform drivers of the good and the bad about each offer helps all sides involved. We pride ourselves in making sure you land somewhere that makes you happy and money!
We live by the Three MUST’S
Must Make Sense
Must Make You Happy
Must Make You Money
If you do good business, good results follow. This sums up what we are about, as all we care about is Placing GOOD DRIVERS, IN GOOD JOBS!
Because of this our feedback from drivers is outstanding and the best part is THEIR OFFERS MADE SENSE, MADE THEM HAPPY AND MAKING THEM MONEY!

FreightWaves NOW hosts Kaylee Nix and Anthony Smith talk with Charles Gracey, President of Hot Seat Services, about what the job market looks like for drivers.
On today’s episode, Dooner and The Dude are finding out how to take the tension out of recruiting and retention. Is there a nationwide truck driver shortage and if so, why? We’ll dive into it.
Plus, keeping bandits away from your freight; OOIDA urges truckers to fight 556% insurance hike; pallet shortages; survey of motorists’ reckless behavior should be wake-up call for commercial fleets; Illinois trucking company with history of HOS violations files Chapter 7; truckers implicated in multimillion-dollar U.S.-Canada tobacco smuggling ring; and cicadas — they’re what’s for dinner.
They’re joined by special guests Robert Moffitt, EVP and director of operations for New Legend Inc.; Max Farrell, CEO of WorkHound; Charles Gracey, president of Hot Seat Services Inc.; and Krenar Komoni, CEO/founder of Tive.
“Be flexible and supportive.” Charles Gracey is so dedicated to recruiting and helping drivers that he literally practices 24/7 recruiting; he makes himself available at any time to talk to a driver. Flexibility is necessary to effectively recruit drivers because you need to work around their schedule. Gracey stresses the need for constant communication with recruits and being sympathetic to the driver’s needs.
