Tips for getting a truck driver job or Delivery Jobs
· Be honest about your record. Assume that all companies will do a thorough investigation of your past driving, criminal and employment history.
· A clean driving record with no recent traffic violations is a big plus.
· Call up truck delivery companies and not driving schools. The schools just want your tuition money but a commercial driving license is useless if you can’t get hired.
· Try the smaller local companies if you have no luck with the big ones.
· If you get tired of randomly calling companies up, go to a local truck stop and check out their bulletin board. There are normally quite a lot of ads posted.
· You could also approach some of the drivers at truck stops, buy them coffee and ask them if they know of any delivery companies that hire felons.
· Don’t give up if the first few companies don’t respond favorably to your inquiries.
