Client Requirements
The client needed a modern, driver-focused platform that connects CDL and non-CDL drivers with job opportunities across the country. The goal was to move beyond traditional job boards by creating a system that prioritizes drivers—offering transparency, fairness, and competitive compensation. The platform had to simplify the job search experience through intuitive navigation, smart matching, and real-time job listings. It also needed to support companies of all sizes—whether a large national carrier or a small local operation—by giving them equal visibility and tools to manage postings and applications. Lastly, the client required a scalable, high-performance architecture using Next.js and Nest.js, with a microservices approach to ensure reliability, modularity, and long-term growth.
