Have you ever wondered why some drivers seem to be accident prone and others have never caused an accident? Would you like to know you're getting safe drivers before you hire them?
Safety research shows you can determine driver applicants' probability of causing future accidents by determining their behavioral style and attitudes. (Source: Behavioral and Values Associates, 1993.)
A behavioral assessment measures a person's normal behavior in four areas: D (Dominant), I (Influencing), S (Steadiness), and C (Cautious, Compliant to Standards).
The D factor determines how drivers tend to handle problems and challenges, the I factor looks at their interactions and influence with others, the S at how they respond to the pace of the environment, and the C at how they respond to company and federal rules and regulations set by others.

Bored By The Same Old Job? - Be A Truck Driver! |
By Mike Dobson
If you have the desire to travel around the country and get paid at the same time, consider being a truck driver. Truckers enjoy some benefits that people in other jobs do not have. The camaraderie among other truckers … meeting new people … being able to witness the changing seasons as you travel around the country … unpredictability (in other words, less boredom!) … plenty of available trucking jobs … All are valid reasons why people chuck their current occupations for the chance at the open road.

If you can handle that, great! Welcome to the world of truck driving.
