Achieving the
Hiring Trifecta
How Asurint Delivered Speed, Detail, and Cost Savings with EPES Transport System
Transportation companies are all vying for the same drivers, which EPES Transport System's Director of Driver Recruiting, Jimmy Orr, describes as “fishing lines in the same pond.” In this environment, every moment counts.
Unfortunately, EPES Transport System's background screening provider wasn’t keeping pace. Frequent delays meant drivers were brought in for orientation, only for background results to arrive too late. In some cases, drivers were already on the road when disqualifying information surfaced, forcing costly recoveries and replacements.
After repeated setbacks, EPES Transport System decided it was time to find a faster, more reliable solution.

EPES Transport System, as well as eight other carriers, attended an industry education session hosted by Asurint. In addition to exchanging ideas and recruiting innovations, they also learned about Asurint's criminal background screening solution.
Given their ongoing challenges, EPES Transport System decided to run a 30-day head-to-head test by processing background screens through both their current provider and Asurint.
The head-to-head comparison revealed that Asurint hit the trifecta of speed, detail, and cost. After the 30-day test, the choice to switch was clear, and Orr hasn't looked back since. Asurint's rapid turnaround has helped in avoiding at least one costly post-hire issue each month.
Orr's confidence in the process has grown significantly. "Even with a 10-year background check across multiple counties, I get most results within hours," he says.
