To continue with, what a local driver needs to possess is the following:
- Commercial Driver License (CDL) is a type of license essential for the truck drivers.
- The renewal periods vary by state
- Class A CDL license indicates availability for driving a truck with automatic steering system
- Specialty licenses (specialized transportation, hazmat cargo etc.)
- Supply Chain Experience
- Ensuring proper handling of refrigerated cargo
What I mean to say is that you cannot simply leave the state’s law behind and put yourself in a fee risk just because the candidate is experienced.
Or, in the worst case, is somehow related to you and without any experience of the above-mentioned you want to hire him.
This is the worst thing that could happen to your trucking company. If you want to run a successful trucking company with a reputation, this is the opposite of must.
2. Make Thorough Background Check and Screenings
If you want to own a successful trucking business then you need to make sure that everything is under control.
