Advantages of Having a Trucking Resume
Mike Gaffin, a New England-based local truck driver, likes his current job but wants to monitor other opportunities. He maintains two Monster resumes -- one emphasizing his driving record and the other his 16 years of transportation experience. The former helps him find companies "that respect the drivers, pay well and have good benefits and top-notch equipment." The latter draws responses on administrative openings, like for safety managers or fleet managers.
Gaffin believes having resumes puts him in the minority, but he sees more drivers creating their own. Technology is a factor. He found it easy to create both resumes using the Monster Resume Builder.
