Truck Drivers

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

No experience is needed to work as a truck driver, but those with prior work experience will increase their chances of landing a job, getting promoted, and possibly earning higher pay.

Many drivers work with little supervision, so they need to have a mature, responsible attitude toward their job. In jobs where drivers deal directly with company customers, it is especially important for the drivers to be pleasant, courteous, and able to communicate well with people. Helping a customer with a complaint can mean the difference between losing and keeping a client.
