"In the next few years, I would like to grow into a driver-leader type of position as a way to utilize my new communications degree.

The interviewer is looking for assurance that you see this role as a long-term fit. It is costly and time-consuming to train new drivers so, understandably, the employer wants to protect their investment in you. Assure the interviewer that you are seeking a long-term fit by expressing enthusiasm and discussing the ways that you want to grow with their organization in the long-term. Take a look at the various driving opportunities available to you. If any of these stand out to you as future growth opportunities, it's a great idea to mention them. Your expressed interest in those particular routes or opportunities will solidify the fact that you are, indeed, seeking a long-term fit with them.

"I am looking for a long-term fit in my next position. As you can see, I had a strong tenure with my previous company. I would love to see the same success here. I did notice on your website that you have guaranteed day time opportunities available to your drivers who stay with you for 2 years. If I could work my way into that type of job securit, I would be thrilled."
