How much did your truck driving school teach you about mechanics?

Some trucking schools are more thorough than others so the interviewer would like to know what your exposure has been to mechanics. If you have mechanics training, discuss your areas of knowledge. If you have a limited amount of mechanics knowledge, be honest with the interviewer sharing what you do know. Your honesty will help the interviewer understand what type of training you should be provided with when you begin your role. Be sure to mention that you look forward to gaining more knowledge in mechanics and are happy to learn whatever the company can teach you!

"When obtaining my CDL, the original coursework did not offer a lot regarding mechanical knowledge. I took an additional course called Truck and Transport Mechanics. I know enough to troubleshoot some mechanical, electrical and electronic issues. With that said, I am very open to learning more and am happy to take any additional training, as you see fit."
