In theory, your idea is great, but, your scenario isn't like cross-examining a witness in court (question/answer, question/answer). Just for kix, call a few recruiters, and try it your way. If they took 10-15 minutes per new-hire to answer questions, when could they find time to do anything else ?

I have 3 companies I've found that I may be interested in and hopefully will be able to set up an appointment with each of them to discuss my questions and their companies
Thanks -
Jessc, your plan is admirable. IMO, just don't think you're going to find many trucking companies to cooperate. I hope you do. And yes I have done in person interviews twice with trucking companies. Once with a safety manager, and once with a terminal manager. With both, there were constant interuptions, and it did not have any flow. They have more than one job to do. Answers to my list of questions went from detailed at the start to quick one word answers by the middle. At that point I stopped asking.
jessc Thanks this. -
sevenmph,
You know, I may not - I may find it to be exactly as you all are describing -unfortunately, the way I approach things is through research and first hand knowledge.
I certainly take into account the advise of everyone here as well as listen to recommendations from others - I have a few friends who are truckers as well.
All in all I may be wearing rose colored glasses and will come to find this is not the industry for me in which to make a new career - who knows - but I have to find out, throw things against the wall and see what sticks
What ever I do decide or discover everyone's responses are greatly appreciated and I am very grateful for them - experience is by far a better teacher than a book every time!sevenmph Thanks this.
