It’s September! Back-to-school time is here. In many parts of the country school has been in session for a couple of weeks. Seems like it starts earlier every year. That means school buses and school children are back on the road.
Every school year we hear about crashes involving a school bus. Unfortunately, some involve big trucks.
According to the American Automobile Association, (AAA) all drivers need to be extra aware this time of year. AAA has these back-to-school safety reminders for all drivers.
Slow down near schools and residential areas.
- Always look for school buses loading and unloading students.
- Look between parked cars.
- Drive with headlights on, even during the day so you are more visible to children.
- Remember to practice extra caution in school zones during bad weather.
Well, the Boss didn’t care much for our ‘shameless self-promotion’ comment in the last edition so we thought we would make it up to him by tossing in a little Q & A.
Below is a list of Frequently Asked Questions about TruckDriver.com’s application process:
Do you have jobs in my area?
Probably yes. You can see our current trucking job openings here. Most of the time we have job openings listed for all 50 states and several Canadian provinces. Our job listings change daily as positions are filled and others open up, or as new trucking firms list openings with us for the first time. Therefore, even in the rare case that you don’t see any openings in your area, submit your application to Truckdriver.com so that you’ll be considered when new openings come up.
Can I get a truck driving job if I have a felony conviction or DUI/DWI on my record?
This depends on the trucking company, of course, but some fleets are willing to overlook a felony conviction or DUI/DWI, depending on the driver’s other qualifications. By looking up a particular company you are interested in driving for in the Our Fleets directory, you can find the qualifications that that firm requires.
Can I make sure my application doesn’t go out to my current or former employer?
Yes. If you want to make sure your application does not go out to a particular company, simply uncheck the box in front of that company’s name on the bottom section of the Application Form.
How do I apply for a certain job opening and not to all the rest?
In the bottom section of the Application Form, uncheck boxes so that only the company or companies to which you want your information sent are checked.
