Companies often do regular driving record checks as well. Some go so far as to base your performance off all you truck driving accidents and even incidents, regardless if they are work related or not.
Sometimes minor things won’t be an issue or can be ‘fixed’. But the more serious offences such as DWI/DUI will follow you for a long, long time!
Professional truck drivers drive smart and keep their driving record clean!
Professional Truck Drivers Always Transport the Freight Safely to the Final Destination
This goes hand in hand with your driving record actually. Because safety is a key factor in getting good driving contracts and even keeping your job.
Liability is very important, especially this day and age. When something goes well everyone wants the credit, but when it goes bad they are quick to point fingers.
Make sure you know what you are transporting, and see if there are any special instructions, such as don’t get the freight wet or feed it after midnight.
Make sure that you are securing the freight properly, by tiding it. Have industry standard locks and seal in place, when possible. Drive carefully; be aware of the other drivers and road conditions.
Getting there on schedule doesn’t mean much if the freight is damaged or lost, – the professional truck drivers will know that!
