    I know right. All the driving jobs I had were: (usually on the phone too)

    Employer: Do you have experience?

    Me: Yes

    Employer: Is your driving record clean and do you have a medical card?

    Me: Yes and yes

    Employer: Ok you're hired go take a drug test.

    I think a resume is always a good thing to have up to date, and available if needed.

    Yes, companies like CR England and Swift might take anybody who is not clinically retarted, who has a pulse, and who is not clearly on drugs during the interview process. You probably don't need a resume for those companies. If you want to get on with a really good company, a resume and cover letter is a must...regardless of whether or not you are applying in a driving position, or an office position, or whatever your respective field is...
     
    knuckledragger and heyns57 Thank this.
