I got an interview at Porterville,Ca on 11-7. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure how the new hiring process goes. When I got hired we still had the drivers who participated in the interview but just be honest and respectful. Be prepared for some questions about driving questions and scenarios you wouldn't normally think of on a daily basis but could happen. Don't be negative about anything even your current job. Dress nice. Show them this is something you want. I've seen guys show up in dirty jeans and just not as presentable as they could be. It shows you care about yourself and that you are presenting yourself as a professional. I'm sure you already know they care about how you represent them on the road and in the public eye while out of the truck. Good luck to you.

Thank you driver. I had my interview today. I passed the interview, pretrip and road test. Just waiting on them to verify my employment history. So I believe I'm looking at a job offer soon! But I ain't counting my chips yet.
Sounds like good news Stoney! How long was the whole process?

is it true you are not allowed to take your phones in the DC they will fire you if you do?
do you get phone calls from dispatchers and managers, or have to call into work numorous times while driving just to get your loads delivered? i have to call at least 3 times daily to make sure things are correct with my load. We have a no cell phone while driving policy, but they are the first to break it.
I am thankful for your answers, I am tired of constantly getting called and re-routed and things changing. If you have been there a long time and never recieved a call I think i may take my years of experience to a place that uses updated technology to get the job done. Thank you so much!
