What they ask local cdl a driver candidates here
Drawn from the 3 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
Tell me about your experience with local pickup and delivery. How many stops a day are you used to, and what kind of freight?
What they are checking: Whether they have handled a multi-stop LTL day before, which is very different from point-to-point or over-the-road driving.
Walk me through your pre-trip inspection on a tractor-trailer. What are you looking for?
What they are checking: Whether they do a real, thorough pre-trip, since safety and DOT compliance start before the wheels turn.
Our drivers unload their own trailer at the end of the route. How comfortable are you on a forklift or pallet jack on a busy dock?
What they are checking: Whether they can handle the dock work that comes with this job, not just the driving part.
You are running behind and still have three deliveries and two pickups. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they communicate with dispatch early and plan smart rather than speeding or skipping stops without telling anyone.
You arrive at a customer and notice some freight on your trailer is crushed. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they document damage honestly with the customer and dispatch, since damage-free delivery is a stated priority.
Our drivers are called the face of the company. Tell me about a time you turned around a frustrated customer at a delivery.
What they are checking: Whether they stay professional and solve problems at the dock, which keeps customer relationships and repeat business.
How do you back into a tight dock in a crowded city lot, like you might find around Chicago Ridge or Milwaukee?
What they are checking: Whether they have the close-quarters skills that local city routes demand and take their time to do it safely.
What does your driving record look like over the last three years, and how do you keep it clean?
What they are checking: Whether they have a safe history and habits, since accidents and violations are a major cost and risk in trucking.
