"I've been in two accidents, one in my personal life and one while driving a truck. The police and an insurance company investigated both accidents and determined neither was my fault. When driving my personal car, someone rear-ended me at a stoplight. Then when I was driving my company's truck, a car made an abrupt left-turn, and I hit them head-on because I didn't have enough time to stop. Thankfully, no one was harmed in either accident and I just had to wait until the investigation was over and fill out some paperwork before my next assignment."

"One of the biggest reasons I became a truck driver was to see more of Canada. I love to travel and driving a truck across the country is one of the best ways to do so. I feel at home on the road, so I am completely comfortable travelling and being away for extended periods of time."

"When I was younger, I would always go on road trips with my family. I developed a love of being on the road and I got my own car as soon as I turned 18. I wanted to pursue a career that allowed me to drive for a living and a family friend recommended truck driving, so I got my truck driver's license."

"If I notice a motorist driving carelessly around me, I try to distance myself from them by slowing down, switching lanes or exiting the highway. If I can't distance myself, I remain calm and vigilant to avoid causing an accident. If they're driving recklessly or seem to be intoxicated, I note their license plate and call the police."

"Before and after any trip, I perform a maintenance inspection where I check the truck's wheels, mirrors, lights, and signals to ensure everything is in working order. I also check the brakes to assess their performance and see if there are any unusual noises. If I notice any problems, I notify my supervisor so they can fix it or assign me a new vehicle."

"Once during a storm, I was three hours late for a delivery because the driving conditions were dangerous and I had to pull over and wait for the storm to clear. I tried to call the client to update them, but they didn't answer. When I arrived, they were upset that I was late. I apologized and explained the situation. They checked the number I had on file, and it turned out they had given us the wrong number. They apologized and were understanding of the circumstances."

"Before I set off on an assignment, I always plan my route. I pick routes I am familiar with when I can so I know exactly when and where I can stop for a break. If I'm running behind, I adjust my break schedule. I use Waze during my journey so I'm always aware of the traffic conditions along my route and can avoid traffic jams."

"Truck drivers need to stop at weigh stations along their route to check if their load is at a safe weight, balanced, and adheres to the law. This ensures that the truck is not a danger to the road or other drivers. An overweight load can damage the road and make it difficult to stop or maneuver in emergency situations."

"I have a Class A commercial truck driver's license in Ontario, allowing me to drive any truck or trailer. I have also been driving a refrigerated freight truck for five years, so I have hands-on experience in the industry. I also have a clean driving record with no demerit points."

"I love driving a truck and have been doing so for the last ten years. This is my chosen career path and I plan to continue working as a truck driver until I retire. Your company has a great reputation and offers a pension program, which appeals to me for long-term employment."

"As I've been a truck driver for the last five years, I've developed a lot of vital skills. Most notably, my memory and navigational skills are excellent. After I drive a route once, I can do it again without a map. This makes me a more efficient truck driver. I also have exceptional communication skills, which are necessary for talking to dispatchers and customers."

"To ensure I am always alert when driving, especially for long periods, I always get a good night's sleep or nap before my shift if possible. I also keep the temperature in my cab cool, as warmer temperatures can make people tired. I take breaks when I need them and ensure that I don't eat big meals on my breaks to avoid fatigue."

"A slip seating setup is when a driver shares a truck with other drivers. This means when the first driver finishes their assignment, they take their personal belongings out of the cab, clean the space, and another driver uses the truck for their assignment. My previous company used a slip seating setup, so I am comfortable with it."

"Canada has three regulations pertaining to hours of service. These regulations ensure truck drivers are not driving while tired because it can impair their judgement and cause them to make mistakes. The first states that after 13 hours of driving, truck drivers must have eight hours of off-duty time before they can drive again. The second states that they must stop working after 14 hours of on-duty time and take eight hours off. The final one states they can work for 70 hours over seven consecutive days or 120 hours over 14 consecutive days."

"An electronic logging device records the truck's operation dates and times. This shows the driver and their company how long the vehicle is travelling, ensuring drivers aren't going over their daily driving limit of 13 hours. Using electronic logging devices is mandatory in Canada, so I am familiar with how to use one from working at my previous company."
