Trucking job interview attire
Question:
How should one dress for a driving job interview?? I don't want to over or under dress. Thanks......

Answer:
Clean collared shirt, clean pants, socks, squared away looking shoes (leather or tenny), fresh haircut and shave with trimmed beard or mustache, showered. Teeth (tooth) brushed. Clean jacket and head gear depending on weather. BOL

Answer:
I always tend to feel that you should dress on the high end of the clothing for that job. You don't wear a suit and tie to a truckdriving job interview, but wear neat clothes on the high end of the driving apparel scale. As stated above, button down shirt, clean neatly pressed slacks, belt, appropriate footwear, etc. Dress so that if needed, you are suitable to go out and drive in a road test or other work. This is not a time for sweatpants, Jack Daniels or AC/DC t shirts, or other clothing of that level.

Answer:
From the looks of what the Coolie Carriers hire these days, I don't think it really matters.

Answer:
LOL......Nope.... full set of teeth here. Mabey i should take the spurs off my driving boots, though.

Answer:
Don't wear the belt buckle that looks like a hub cap or some kind of Wrestling Championship belt!
Clean doo rag a must and don't wear the one on your head you just blowed your nose into!
Get a big chain hooked form a a belt loop to wallet so you can impress!
Don't forget to wear those fingerless gloves to the interview to show a true signs of a Professional!

Answer:
NO PANTIES!

Answer:
As described above -- present yourself as they'd like you to appear performing the job. I'd also tuck a clean shop rag in your pocket and carry a pair of clean work gloves. If the interview leads to an immediate road test with vehicle inspection, you'll reinforce the impression that you know how to stay clean and neat.
Also, bring all paperwork they may need, including copies of forms or applications they already have, and a pen and note pad for noting instructions (who to call next, where to go for a drug test, etc) in a slim folder or notebook. This may also exceed their expectations and reinforce the impression that you think ahead. If their choice between you and somebody else is a draw, these little things can make the difference.

Answer:
Rap a towel around your head.
You'll get the job, no questions asked.

Answer:
Remember one basic rule: You only get one chance to make a first impression!

Answer:

So no belching or farting during the interview!
Answer:
Stick to short to the point factual answers!
Leave your big stories, conquests and adventures on the road, until once you have the job!

Answer:

Got that right!
Don't tell them how you've "always dreamed of being a truck driver" and so forth..... They've seen many new drivers come and go. Those who start-out thinking it's a "dream come true" are usually the first to leave when they discover how nieve they were. Stay away from broad declarations of how much you know you'll like the job. Answer the questions and stay low-key and professional. They want someone who will suffer the hard times -- and there will be many. They'll judge your probable success by the absence of a unrealistically optomistic attitude. Don't try convincing them you're too different from the driving force they already employ. It will only backfire and make you look woefully unprepared for the reality of what they have to offer.

Answer:
Make sure your shirt is tucked in and not billowing out. Make sure the pants you wear are actually your size. That means the waistband is no more than a couple of inches below your navel and the hem of the pant legs are an inch or so above the floor. Sleeping in them the night before does not qualify as pressing. Look like you have at least an ounce of pride. Wear steel toe shoes if you have them and regular leather shoes if no steel toes. Don't wear a suit or sport coat but don't immediately discount a necktie if the interview is in a headquarters building where company executives may see you.
In addition to attire, learn about the company. Do internet research. Find out who their largest customers are and what their main lanes are. Know as much as you can so you can respond to questions with answers tailored to their company if possible. Good luck to you.
