Question 8 of 25

Does traffic congestion stress you out? How do you handle it?

Your reply to this question should always be a no. As a truck driver, it's your responsibility to remain calm and collected behind the wheel. Interviewers want to hear that you can handle traffic congestion with ease. Be sure to mention what cities you have driven in and what type of traffic to which you are accustomed.

Note: If you are a newer driver, it is okay to be a little uneasy about driving in bigger cities with a lot of traffic. The interviewer will likely provide you with a few extra ride alongs to ensure you are comfortable before being sent out alone. Rather than stating your are uneasy or stressed out in these situations, you can let them know you are less experienced in this area and would appreciate additional training.

      1st Answer Example

      "Since I am a new driver, with less than one year of experience, I do not have a lot of exposure to driving in larger cities with heavy traffic. So long as I have a few ride-along opportunities first, I am confident that I could handle a task like that with ease."

      2nd Answer Example

      "As an experienced truck driver, I have a great deal of experience in traffic of all kinds. When traffic is congested, I drive smart and safe. My goal is to get out of the congestion as quickly as possible, keeping my timeline in mind, but without putting myself or anyone else at risk. Sometimes, when it's terrible, all I can do is ride it out while I enjoy a few good songs on the radio."
