    How should I go dressed. Business suit and tie, or Dockers/slack and dress shirt and tie. Or Dockers and just a dress shirt.

    How do you dress for a trucking interview.

    Street clothes,jeans nice shirt,your everyday shoes as long as they're not too worned .You're going to find out a driving job is nothing like an office job.You do not have to overly dress for success.Other drivers may laugh at you if you walk in looking like you just came from a wedding and wanting a driving job.

    The boss/owner will also laugh at you for dressing up "beyond the call of duty"!:laughing-guffaw:

    Id wear a CLEAN newish looking pair of jeans (dockers are fine) and a polo or button down shirt. No tie. Work boots are probably the best foot wear. They look like your prepared to work. Sneakers look kind of cheesy and dress shoes is overdoing it. I assume your appling for a driving job? What company? Most don't even require an in person interview.

    They may ask you to goout and tell them about that piece of equipment they are about to place you in! If the clothes are to nice to get dirty in then you may want to wear something else. Good Luck!

    Sweatpants and flip flops and you are a shoe in. :)

    Nah, casually nice but don't over do it. Polo and nice jeans/dockers or similar.

    Suits and ties work in an office.
     
    pattyj, luvtotruck and Truckergirl0720 Thank this.

    Go to Walmart and get a pair of steel toed work boots. Most companies require them anyway, so now you will be prepared.
