Truck driving jobs are one of the more demanding and responsible positions in the transport industry. This profession requires not only special physical skills but also good mental condition. Work Partner Service specializes in hiring and training drivers from outside the European Union, ensuring that each driver is well-prepared to perform their duties. This article will discuss the recruitment and training process of professional drivers at Work Partner Service.
Driver Recruitment Process for Truck Driving Jobs
The recruitment process begins when a driver contacts our office in Poland via phone. The interview is conducted by our recruiter, who mainly verifies the driver’s professional experience and sets the employment conditions. After a positive review of the application, the driver comes to our office in Poland for the first in-person meeting. Every driver must possess:
- A valid passport
- Both local and international driving licenses
Additionally, it is advantageous to have the following documents:
- Code 95 – confirms professional qualifications
- Driver card – necessary for operating the tachograph
- Psychological and medical examinations – confirming the driver’s health
Knowledge and Skills Verification
After collecting all the documents from the driver, the next step is to check the validity and completeness of all the driver’s documents. This is done to verify which documents the driver still needs to work in EU countries. Then, the candidate’s knowledge and skills are assessed. This process includes:
- Driving test on the square – assesses how the driver handles the truck, maneuvers it, and evaluates overall driving technique.
- Tachograph knowledge test – during this stage, knowledge of regulations concerning work and rest time, tachograph operation, and the ability to correctly record data are checked.The theoretical test is written in two languages: English and Russian, which significantly helps the driver understand the questions.
Assessment of Competence and Communication Skills
A very important element in recruiting a new driver is the ability to communicate. Primarily, the proficiency in English or Russian is evaluated. The driver must be able to communicate with the employer, dispatchers, and colleagues. Good language skills allow for receiving instructions, conveying any problems, and coordinating actions. Smooth communication minimizes the risk of mistakes, significantly improving the workflow. Additionally, a competency interview is conducted with the driver to assess their professional experience.
Commencement of Work
After successfully passing the verification, the driver’s competence level is determined, and the work model is selected accordingly.
- Independent work – chosen when it is certain that the driver can handle the road on their own and does not need additional training hours to improve their skills.
- Training with an experienced driver – for drivers who are new and still need to be trained under the supervision of a more experienced driver who will mentor and assist them in performing daily duties.
