If you do not yet have a commercial driver license, you should attend the proper driving school to obtain it. You also need to fulfill several CDL requirements before applying for a job. It takes a number of weeks of appropriate training, practicing driving and passing a CDL skills test. The test is broken down into 3 parts, namely the road test, vehicle inspection and basic controls exam.

When searching for a CDL job, truck drivers should also understand the process of recruitment. The majority of transportation companies usually use job application services provided by third parties to find drivers. This means that drivers often have to complete an online profile and submit their resume, supporting documentation and application. The resume and application service providers prescreen the details and documents and send them to the hiring managers. The service providers usually send the applicants a confirmation email. The drivers can get a follow up call from an interested manager requesting them to go for an interview.

Selling yourself is the other important step when searching for a job. Hiring managers will ask for your resume. The resume should list your education and the relevant licenses as well as endorsements in chronological order. You should also include the current contact information of people who can give you good references. If you need assistance in writing a resume, you can use the services of a firm that offers resume creating services.

Job boards are among the best places to search for local CDL jobs. These boards normally list all the available national and local jobs. If you visit a number of job boards, you can locate a suitable job within no time.

Most job boards also allow job applicants to post their resumes and create a profile so that they can submit applications directly to transport companies. Job applicants also get an opportunity to find the names of several companies on job boards. With this information, they can visit the sites of these companies and apply for a job directly.

You can also search for local CDL jobs by contacting the hiring managers or human resource departments of transportation companies. Another option is to look at local newspapers. You can also attend trucking industry events and job fairs. Local CDL jobs are usually represented at such events. Another great option is forums and commercial driving specific websites.

The first impression during an interview matters a lot. It is therefore vital for drivers to create a positive first impression. They should dress neatly and avoid wearing hats and sunglasses. They should also be courteous and use fitting language. Researching about a transportation firm before going for an interview is vital. In addition, drivers should listen attentively to the interviewer and provide honest answers.
