First interview

Collared shirt, clean pants, no flip flops, work gloves in case he wants you to do road test, drop & hook.
Bring ID, bank routing number and account (or voided check) for direct deposit.
Any question you don't know the answer just say "I don't know/remember," I'll find out". You are new, so don't pretend you aren't.

 

Let them know you've been practicing on pissing into regular bottles, for when you can't find widemouth ones.

 

I had the Terminal manager once tell me, “This is whatever his name was, he’s thinking about coming on as an owner op.
Tell him how much you made last year.”

my reply, “I’m not telling him anything, none of his business what I do, how I run, or what I make.”

It sounds bad, but I wasn’t putting myself on the line for him to not make what he thought he could, you had to run hard, all percentage paid loads.
But I wouldn’t advise asking for someone to tell you what they made last year...

 

Percentage is good.

but deadhead miles are $0.

some used to pay a little after 200 mile DH, some don’t.

 

As mentioned
Presentation is a huge part of it. Maybe less in trucking. Or actually maybe more?

My step son wanted a job when he was younger, walked into an establishment to just drop of his resume in a suit and tie and as he was walking out the manager noticed him and hired him before he got out the door
He said we aren’t really hiring but anyone who has that much respect gets a job
