Now that I am almost done with my training course (I test Monday with a state examiner), I'm about ready to get more involved with checking out companies.

I know of a few basic ones, like how many miles, how fast do the trucks run, what kind of equipment...but I'm sure there are a lot more that should be asked.


So, what are some questions I should ask when calling or emailing recruiters / what questions do you wish you asked before you signed on with your current company?

 

1.), u might want 2 start readin the post, "What about this Co."? U will get alot of info.
2.) U will be limited 2 Co.s 2 choose from, until u put your time in safely.
3.) U will get taken advantage of, so suck it up.
4.) Try 2 fix in on a CO. who has flat bed, dry and reefer vans.
5.) Ask and listen to other drivers.

 

You need to ask about everything and anything that is important to you.

 

Here is a list of questions to ask that I found on NewbieDriver.com.

There is a wealth of knowledge on this site and this is a very good list that covers just about everything.

Personally, I have a Word Document that I created with about 20-25 questions on it and space after each question for me to write in their answer. Works for me and it allows me to compare companys rather easily.

Good luck!

 

That link was very helpful and included a lot of questions I wouldn't have known to ask.

 

Glad it was a help to you. Just doing my part to return the favors that others did for me when I was starting out.
