Run Direct Inc. ("Run Direct," "we," "us," or "our") operates rundirect.net (the "Site") and provides recruiting services for CDL-A flatbed driving positions. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have โ including specific consent terms for text messages and phone calls related to job opportunities.
1. Information We Collect
When you use our Site, apply for a driving position, or contact us, we may collect:
- Contact information: name, phone number, email address, city, and state.
- Application details: driving experience, license status, schedule preferences, age range, and driving record information you voluntarily provide during the qualification questionnaire.
- Technical information: IP address, browser type, device information, pages viewed, and referral source, collected automatically through cookies and similar technologies (for example, Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager).
- Marketing attribution data: UTM parameters, click identifiers (such as Google Click ID or Facebook Click ID), and the campaign or ad that referred you to the Site, used to measure which advertising is effective.
2. How We Use Your Information
- To evaluate your interest in and qualification for driving positions with Run Direct.
- To contact you by phone, text message, or email about job opportunities you have expressed interest in.
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and our recruiting process.
- To measure the performance of our advertising (Google Ads, Meta/Facebook ads) and understand which channels bring us qualified applicants.
- To comply with legal and regulatory obligations, including U.S. Department of Transportation and FMCSA requirements applicable to commercial driver hiring.
3. Text Message & Phone Call Consent (TCPA)
By submitting your phone number through our online qualification form, you expressly consent to receive calls and text messages from Run Direct and its recruiting staff at the phone number you provided, including calls or texts made using an automatic telephone dialing system or prerecorded/artificial voice, for the purpose of discussing job opportunities and your application status.
- Consent to receive automated calls or texts is not a condition of employment or a condition of applying. You may still apply by calling us directly at 224-588-3441 instead of submitting the online form.

You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

- Service providers who help us operate the Site, store applicant data (such as Google Sheets/Google Workspace), and manage recruiting communications.
