Three Qualities to Search for in a Good Tractor Driver Candidate

Finding the right worker for your tractor operator job can be tricky, especially if you are building a team from the ground up. No matter the request, here are some skills and experience that most excellent tractor drivers will have.

Experience

A tractor operator needs to have a certain level of experience. At the very least, most tractor drivers should have a commercial driver’s license or CDL. Specific on-the-job experience will depend on the abilities you are looking for. Do you need a farm tractor operator? Then you’ll need to find someone with at least a few years of experience working with farm equipment. If you need a tractor-trailer truck driver, you may want to search for workers with long-haul truck driving experience.

Fortunately, Get Workers gives you an easy way to require workers with a valid-CDL and a clean driving record to apply to your Shift Gigs. You can add an MVR check as an optional add on, and request that each worker uploads a photo of their valid CDL to their worker profile. Requiring these two things will ensure you get the best applicants from GigSmart’s labor pool.

Stamina

Especially if the job you’re hiring for is full-time or a seasonal tractor driver position with long days in peak seasons, you’ll want to find candidates who can keep up with the physical nature and/or long hours of the job. Good concentration skills are definitely key. Most tractor driver jobs require applicants to be able to lift heavy objects (50lbs or more). Make sure you include the specific physical expectations of the job in your posting so you can quickly weed out individuals who are not capable of performing the service required.

Mechanical Ability

Every piece of heavy machinery will eventually need repairs. It helps if the tractor drivers you hire have some knowledge of how to fix the equipment they operate. Ask about each applicants’ mechanical ability so you know whether they are the right fit for the role.

Of course, there are other things you should look for as well, like a clean driving record, but we hope these three qualities help you write a job description and kickstart your hiring process.
