Truck Driving Jobs Policy
Overview
Quicky Hire’s Truck Driving Jobs Policy ensures that all truck driving positions posted on our platform are clearly defined and meet our quality standards. This policy aims to provide job seekers with accurate and transparent information about truck driving roles, facilitating a better match between employers and qualified candidates.
Policy Statement
Truck driving jobs are allowed on Quicky Hire. Employers must clearly state in the job description whether they are seeking candidates with a "Commercial Driver's License" (CDL) versus a standard driver's license. Additionally, to receive free visibility, job postings for truck driving positions must specify the type of truck driving role. Failure to adhere to these requirements may result in reduced visibility or removal of the job posting.
Definitions
Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is a special license required to operate large or heavy vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, buses, and tank trucks. Employers must specify if a CDL is required for the truck driving position.
Standard Driver's License
A Standard Driver's License allows the holder to operate regular passenger vehicles. Employers must specify if a standard driver's license is sufficient for the truck driving position.
Truck Driving Roles
The following types of truck driving roles are permitted on Quicky Hire:
-
Owner-Operator
- Description: The job seeker owns their vehicle and uses it for their job. These job seekers typically act as independent contractors and are responsible for all related equipment expenses.
- Requirements: Must clearly state ownership of the vehicle and responsibility for expenses.
-
Company Drivers
- Description: The employer provides a truck to the employees at no cost. The employee generally must return the truck if employment is terminated.
- Requirements: Must specify that the truck is provided by the employer and outline the terms of use.
-
Lease Purchase
- Description: The job seeker leases the vehicle from the employer and can ultimately become an Owner-Operator through monthly payments.
- Requirements: Must disclose details about payment plans, interest rates, and other related fees to receive free visibility.
Reasoning
Why Truck Driving Jobs Require Specific Guidelines
Truck driving positions vary significantly in terms of responsibilities, requirements, and compensation structures. Clear distinctions between different types of truck driving roles help job seekers understand the nature of the job and assess their suitability. Transparent job descriptions prevent misunderstandings and ensure that candidates apply for roles that match their qualifications and preferences.
Guidelines for Employers
