LOL Job "Opportunity"

Color me unimpressed. One of my daughters could run a rig through that wasteland in Nevada. Show me what it can do on Donner , Loveland , or Vail during the winter in ski traffic , or in a high traffic urban area , or even on a multiple stop P&D run . They will never be able to replace a good driver !

 

Precisely why my ex had to become a yard jockey.

 

I agree that is way underpayment but I do feel resume's are important. First if a company requests it, usually it's the first test to see if you can follow instructions. Also there is a lot of job hopping going around. There is also a lot of good reason with all the lies that drivers are fed from companies looking to fill a seat so a potential applicant should in good faith be given the opportunity to explain why he/she is job hopping so much.

Respectfully the MVR and PSP tells a company how you drive, it doesn't tell if you are going to be a problem; late for deliveries, communicative with dispatch with problems etc.

 

You get what you pay for. Right?

 

Resumes are worthless documents in 90% of employment environments. They are a tool for determining literacy and an ability to follow instructions (did the listing ask for one?), but little else. The standard job application (Pedigree info, education, work history, agreement to be vetted) is more than sufficient to start processing applicants for suitability.

Any company that asks for one for a driving job would be better off updating their application with a line asking about additional skills and experience the applicant brings to the table. Because that is the only thing a resume would bring to their awareness.

Aside from the ability (or lack thereof) of the applicant to keep abreast of the latest stylistic preferences of the fortune 500 HR departments for resumes, that is. And God knows that is a skill set every truck driver must pay strict attention to in order to be competent and safe on the road.

 

And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house. And you may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife.
