Stockton Truck Driver Leasing search results

If you are a private individual who needs to just hire a truck driver to drive your belongings to where you are moving, you should begin looking for a truck driver by asking the moving company you are using who they would recommend hiring. Often moving companies have their own drivers. But if they do not, they often know good truck driver leasing companies where good drivers can be found. If the moving company is unable to recommend a good truck driver leasing service, you should look for truck driver leasing services in your area.

First, you should ask each truck driving leasing service you consider whether their drivers can make the run that you need made. If the service can provide a driver, ask whether they have their own trucks or whether you will have to supply one. Some truck driver services employ truckers who have their own trucks, others will need you to supply a truck and they will supply a driver. Next you should ask whether the service's drivers are certified to drive the type of freight you need transported. If you need hazardous materials transported, this may be a problem for many truck driver leasing services. But if you just have possessions that need moved, this should not be a problem.

If you need a driver to make more than one run or you need a driver for an extended period of time (say 90 days) you need to make sure the service has drivers that can do what you need. You need to know what insurance the drivers that work for the service have. Insurance coverage is very important. You also need to know what state the driver's commercial license is issued by. You should ask the driver the service to provide you a copy of their driver's driving record. Also, the price issue should be considered. But do not let a good price cloud you judgment. It's more important to hire a safe, properly insured driver than it is to save a few dollars.
