20 questions to ask the recruiter when getting your start in trucking

[@Franz704]

This advice was helpful. Thank you.

[@truckingelites]

The only way a driver can be happy with a trucking company is if they have a list of questions, That is the best way to see if a company is a good fit.

[@ginnyroy241]

Most recruiters just tell you what you wanna hear just to get you hired.

Thanks bro, I live in desoto and CRE school is located in cedar hill. I want to drive solo. I think i may try kllm. I will called them Monday and yes you did help. You gave me questions i never thought of!!! Im so ready to get the wheel turning. I spent the last 10 years as an armed security officer and it didn't pay like i wanted and i didn't achieve nothing. With the trucking job i can establish my self and have a strong supporting foundation. Thanks a million

Good questions to ask from a lot of different places. What is the base pay? What are the average work hours, and so on.

Do you use a cpap machine? I ask because I’m getting my CDL this years and have questions about that

I'm studying for my CLP but I haven't found a place or school that I can rent a truck for the driving portion??

[@bigmiketrucking4777]

Just do a local search on Facebook marketplace or craigslist. Most of those places now advertise on those platforms. Good luck!!

Is 40cpm regional home on weekends good starting pay?

[@bigmiketrucking4777]

Sounds ok to me, but look around at what others are paying. Do the research and see. It might be low.
