5 Mistakes Drivers Encounter During the Hiring Process


5 Mistakes Drivers Encounter During the Hiring Process

As FreightStar Expedited LLC strives to ensure the best fit for our team and yours, we've noticed several recurring errors that drivers encounter during the hiring process. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out in the trucking industry, avoiding these common mistakes, such as those drivers encounter during the hiring process, can significantly improve your chances of landing the job you desire.


  1. Incomplete or Inaccurate Applications:  One of the most prevalent errors is submitting incomplete or inaccurate applications. Your application is your first impression, and it's crucial to provide all the necessary information accurately. Double-check your application for any errors or missing details before submitting it.

  2. Neglecting to Research the Company:  Another common mistake is not researching the company you're applying to. Take the time to learn about the company – its values, culture, and the services it offers. Tailoring your application to align with the company ethos demonstrates your genuine interest and commitment.

  3. Failing to Highlight Relevant Experience:  Your resume should showcase your relevant experience and skills that make you a suitable candidate for the position. Tailor your resume to highlight your accomplishments and experiences that directly relate to the job requirements outlined by the employer.

  4. Overlooking Training and Certification Requirements:  Many drivers overlook the importance of meeting training and certification requirements specified by the company or relevant regulatory bodies. Make sure you possess all necessary licenses, endorsements, and certifications before applying for a position.

  5. Neglecting to Ask Questions:  An interview is not just an opportunity for the employer to assess you; it's also your chance to evaluate whether the company is the right fit for you. Don't hesitate to ask questions about the company culture, job responsibilities, advancement opportunities, and any other relevant topics.


In conclusion, by avoiding these common mistakes, you can significantly improve your chances of success during the hiring process. At FreightStar Expedited LLC, we value conscientious and dedicated drivers who align with our values and commitment to excellence. If you're ready to take the next step in your trucking career, we encourage you to explore our current job openings and join us in delivering excellence on the road.
