Let's face it. Truck drivers change jobs like infants change poopy diapers. Why is that? Part of it is trucking companies are always changing pay packages to entice drivers from other carriers. But another major problem is that truckers change jobs without enough research into their new employer. So how can you avoid these issues? You can make sure you ask all the right questions by using the included questionnaire!
For drivers new to the industry, the book covers the driver retention problem and discusses how to deal with trucking company recruiters. For experienced drivers, we also discuss some of the misconceptions about these recruiters. The questionnaire encourages you to ask the recruiters questions that are vital to finding a great trucking company. We discuss all kinds of topics, including driver requirements, different types of fleets, electronics logs, trucks and trailers, home time options, and benefits packages, just to name a few. And of course, we discuss the craziness of pay packages and all the intricacies of making sure you're comparing apples to apples.
Perhaps the best thing about "How to Find a Great Truck Driving Job" is that it is a work in progress. The trucking companies are all so different and have so many options that there's no possible way this book could answer every question in the first edition. Because of that, readers are encouraged to send in their own questions so they can be added to future editions. And you'll be credited for doing so!
So grab your copy of "How to Find a Great Truck Driving Job," print off some questionnaires, and start finding YOUR great truck driving job!
