Write down your driving background
A recruiting call is easier when you have a clear overview of the work you have done. Note your CDL experience, recent driving roles, the equipment you have operated and the general types of routes you know. Keep the summary relevant and accurate. You do not need to send sensitive documents before confirming the official application process.
Define the role you want
Think about your preferred driving area, expected availability and home-time priorities. Decide which points are essential and which you can discuss. Explain your home location early because it may affect which openings are relevant. If you are considering OTR, regional or local work, ask how the employer uses those labels for the current opening.
Prepare questions about the working week
Ask about the expected lane pattern, how dispatch communicates changes and what pickup and delivery arrangements typically involve. Discuss loading responsibilities, equipment assignment and how equipment issues are handled. Focus on the details of the specific role rather than assuming a general company statement applies to every opening.
Ask for a clear pay explanation
Request the current compensation structure and ask how it is calculated. Clarify which miles or tasks are included, the payment schedule and how waiting time, extra stops or other work is treated. Make a note of unanswered questions and request written terms before making a commitment. Avoid comparing headline figures that use different calculations.
Leave with a defined next step
Before the call ends, confirm what happens next, which documents may be required and the official contact for follow-up. Keep your notes so you can compare opportunities consistently. If you want to speak with Lions Empire about current driving opportunities, start with a driver inquiry and include your location, experience and preferences.
