• Knowing what to expect going into your truck
  driver interview is an important step for
  preparation. The interviewer from the trucking
  company will be interested in the following
• Your experience (including previous employment)
  and what youve learned from those experiences
• Your education and certifications
• Your professional goals
• Relevant skills
• Preferred working schedule

• Come Prepared
• The trucking company will likely ask for a copy
  of your drivers license and insurance card.
  They may also ask for other documentation, such
  as a birth certificate or high school diploma.
  Always have the following with you
• A copy of your resume
• A copy of your drivers license
• Your insurance cards
• Applicable certificates
• Speak to Your Experience and Skills
• When asked by the interviewer about your
  experience and skills, its important not to only
  talk about how long youve been driving or the
  certificates you have.
• Trucking companies will want to know specific
  examples of how your experience and skills are
  relevant to the truck driving job. You want to
  emphasize what kind of work youve done and how
  youll be an asset to their team.
• Emphasizing your safety record, training, and
  commitment to comply with standards and
  regulations will help you get ahead.
