Charles Gracey | Founder / Host
Hot Seat Services

Charles Gracey President. Founder. Radio Host. Disruptor. Charles Gracey is the voice behind the wheel in driver recruiting, marketing, and trucking media. As founder of Hot Seat Services, he built a powerhouse agency that redefined how fleets hire, offering scalable Pay-Per-Hire and Rent-A-Recruiter models that deliver results, not excuses. He later expanded into marketing and branding, helping clients squeeze real ROI from every marketing dollar. Now, he’s taken that mission to the airwaves to fulfill his goal of leaving the industry better than he found it. Charles hosts the upcoming “Trucking Sense” on SiriusXM’s Road Dog Trucking Radio (Ch. 146) - a raw, no-BS talk show where trucking’s toughest conversations take center stage. He also hosts “Sense Per Mile,” his original show that FreightWaves aired helping fleets and drivers make sense (and cents) of today’s top industry issues. From the cab to the C-suite to the studio, Charles champions smarter practices, better tech, and a whole lot more common sense in trucking to enhance the experiance for all involved.
