I've gotten my application out to a number of companies and was wondering what type of questions I should ask when the recruiter calls.

[ajritter04]

Do they provide lube or are you expected to supply your own? :lol:



Oh, you wanted a serious answer?

Well, that depends on what you deem most important. Some guys are really concerned with hometime, others just want to know how much they can make, etc.

As a general rule:

Pay rate.
HHG or practical miles.
Average length of haul.
What type of equipment.
What freight lanes do they use the most.
What kind of hometime to expect.

Are some good ones to start with.

You forgot to have him ask how much his union dues are.

1.) You guys don't check DAC Reports, do you??

2.) How far back do they check on drug tests??

3.) I have to be see my parole officer on the first Tuesday of every month.... you guys can get me home then, can't you??

With all due respect, his questions should be more specific.

For Example:

"Does your health insurance cover me if I need to go back into rehab??"

All kidding aside i would ask actual drivers as to the miles they are getting...

Recruiters have no clue when it comes to real miles we make out here.
