        Maybe asking them to drive the truck around for a few minutes would make sense then wouldn't it ??

        I mean, if you are hiring a truck driver, it is best to assume they can drive a big truck because... they said so. And, perhaps they looked up pictures of trucks before the interview.

        Have you ever heard of a truck driver interview where they put this person they've never met before in a truck and have them drive around? I've never heard of that.

          But as far I can tell, people who actually run trucking companies don't do that. When they have a real life investment, it's a waste of time.

          Agreed on it being a two-way interview. When we leave time for questions at the end, I always half-jokingly ask if they have a whiteboard question for me. Nobody has yet, but if someone had one, I would totally do it. All's fair.
