He said that the hiring standard was so high that the company had a hard time getting enough drivers so they lower the standards to meet the demand. Their drivers had to have over 1,000,000 miles with no accidents or DUI, and clean driving records.
Most of their drivers are over 55 years old, so like the trucking industry in general, they will always be looking for drivers.
NAH , that's a load sh*t . You need to have 3 clean years on your MVR and 350,000 clean miles . Thats there hiring qualifications . I heard pay is anywhere from 55k to 85k . That's not set in stone but that's the average , if you see a walmart truck and trailer , u will notice on the side of the truck a lot of them say 500,000 or 1,000,000 accident free miles , probably around half , so it is a good job , but u dont need a million miles to qualify .
