Driver Interview

A driver needs to be reliable, dependable and a good time-keeper. Most driving jobs will involve strict dead lines and often requires workers to take on unsociable hours. Before you get to the interview stage it is likely you will need to produce the relevant qualifications for the job. Also, due to legal restrictions, expect to be asked about your health in the interview, or possibly even before this stage.

It is important to portray yourself as calm and collected. You will be spending a lot of time in traffic
and your prospective employer will want to ensure you aren’t going to cause them hassle due to a short fuse. Road rage is a real problem for professional drivers, especially when working with the public, for example, when taxi driving. There will be opportunities during the interview to alleviate these fears and it is important to keep emphasising the fact that you are capable of keeping calm and don’t aren’t easily frustrated.

Possible questions that may be asked include, but are certainly not limited to the following:

Question: Would you consider yourself a dependable driver?

Answer:     Absolutely. I worked for my previous employer for two years and was never late. I was trusted with the most important consignments because of my record of delivering in a timely and safe manner.

Question: Would you be willing to work night shifts, or change your hours at short notice?

Answer:     Yes. I am accustomed to working unsociable hours and consider myself to be flexible. I can fully understand that this is a vibrant business and flexibility is essential to provide the best results.

Question: Are you comfortable working alone for long hours?

Answer:   I feel confident and completely comfortable working as part of a team or alone. I have high standards and will act professionally in either setting. I feel that a personal strength is my ability to remain alert and fully focused over long periods of driving. This can be seen in my excellent safety record.

Here are the some of the interview questions:

Tell me about yourself
Why should we hire you?
Why do you want this job?
What is your greatest strength?
What is your greatest weakness?
What are your salary expectations?
What motivates you?
Give some examples of teamwork
Describe a difficult work situation project and how you overcame it
Are you willing to travel?
What can you contribute to this company?

Good luck.

    I would also say that you would need to take your driving licence with you as they will want to check it for endorsements etc at the interview stage

    Yes, obviously they’ll check your drivers license and other documents that might be relevant. I’m quite sure you need to be qualified to drive lorries and trucks, so they’ll check that as well.

    You may also be asked about what shifts you’ll be willing to do. Usually, drivers are needed throughout the night, so you might find that if not many people are willing to do night shifts, you’ll have more of a chance of getting the job if you’re okay with driving at night.
