We define an Over the Road Driver as having driven professionally for a regulated carrier or a private fleet, operating a tractor and semi-trailer combination. You must be familiar with and able to qualify under all U.S. Department of Transportation Requirements. You will be required to take and pass a DOT physical, including a drug screen and a road test.
You must have a valid Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with Haz-Mat endorsement. The CDL must be issued from the state in which you reside as of the date you submit your application.
The enclosed application is provided to you in an effort to see if we can qualify you for the position of OTR Driver.
The DOT requires that you account for all of your time that you were driving until you have completed a 10-year work history. We suggest that you read all statements at the end of the application and be sure to sign and date this statement.
You will be required to drive conventional tractor equipment and pull a 48- or 53-foot trailer. You will need to be familiar with various types of engines and transmissions.
Drivers are required to present a neat and clean appearance. You must be accessible by phone and you must be customer and service-oriented
All necessary paperwork required by this job must be turned in in a timely manner, i.e., logs required, bills of lading, fuel receipts, fuel and mileage reports and any other paperwork prescribed by the company.
You will be required to take a pre-employment physical, including a mandated DOT drug screen. The cost of your first physical will be deducted from your first payroll check and then reimbursed after six months.
We will conduct a safety and employment background check of your work history. We will request a copy of your driving record from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in the state that your CDL was issued.
If you meet the requirements as we have outlined them, and we are able to qualify you, we may have other questions when we make you a conditional job offer.
Have you ever refused or tested positive to a pre-employment drug test from a carrier who never offered you a job or who you never accepted a job from?
