How to Find the Best Truck Drivers for Your Business

If you don’t know what to look for in applicants, finding reliable, professional truck drivers is challenging. You may have key questions about the job candidates, like, “Can they drive long hours? What is their driving record?”. The below tips will help you eliminate candidates who don’t have the right skills for the job.

Find out Each Candidate’s Experience Level

It’s essential to know every candidate’s experience level, as it’s always best for candidates to have some prior experience (some employers prefer that applicants have multiple years of relevant experience). This is not to say that a truck driver without on-the-job experience cannot be successful, but inquiring about a candidate’s experience level can narrow down job prospects and help you find good drivers.

Confirm the Potential Work Shift and Job Type

Tell candidates upfront whether the job will be part-time, full-time, temporary, or permanent. You should also verify whether the candidate can work nights and/or weekends. This is crucial at the beginning of the hiring process so you can fill positions with truck drivers whose availability and expectations match your needs.

Define the Minimum Requirements

To deter unqualified candidates from applying to your Shift Gigs, we recommend that you be direct about the minimum requirements. Prospective truck drivers may need to meet the following criteria:

• Good eyesight and the ability to see color.
• Clean driving record.
• A valid driver’s license (or specialty CDL license).
• Should be able to pass a background check.
• May need to be a certain age (18 years of age may be the minimum).
• Have previous experience related to your specific job posting.
• Tailor your requirements to your own company’s needs. Most importantly, you’ll want to verify the truck driver has a valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, and has any specialty licenses necessary to drive the truck in question. Luckily Get Workers makes this easy, simply add a motor vehicle records (MVR) check as an Add-On when posting your next truck driver Shift Gig.

We hope these tips will help you find qualified truck drivers right when you need them.
