The Fleegital Alternative to Double Nickel
Double Nickel is a capable newer AI recruiting tool: its virtual recruiter engages and qualifies CDL leads, books calendar slots, and handles calls, texting, a mobile-friendly driver application, and compliance document collection. Fleegital covers the same AI-era ground, and is the choice when carriers want attribution depth — cost per seated driver and 90-day retention by source — plus one system that spans recruiting and fleet operations.
Fleegital
Driver recruiting CRM, AI pre-qualification, DQF, and attribution in one system.
Double Nickel
Compared on the capabilities recruiting teams evaluate most.
Attribution
Campaign, ad set and ad recorded on the driver record itself. Cost per seated driver, not cost per lead.
Why carriers switch to Fleegital
One inbox across every ad source
Facebook Lead Ads, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, SMS, referrals, and website forms land in a single queue instead of separate channels.
Attribution down to the seated driver
Cost per hire, cost per seated driver, and 90-day retention by source, campaign, and terminal — not just conversations handled.
DQF on the driver record
FMCSA-aligned driver qualification files live inside the same system as the pipeline, so compliance isn't a separate tool.
Beyond recruiting
Carrier-side pipeline and terminal routing plus hiring analytics as part of a broader fleet operating system.
