When hiring a company driver, it should be someone who does not easily get distracted, the driver should be someone with years of experience backing him up and should also know his way around town .
looking at their years of experience and places they have worked is very important and necessary. That will help you to determine if they are really focused.

Apart from the driving skill, good communication skill, hard working mindset and some other important to thing to look out for, I will also find out if he drinks alcohol and if he drinks it before driving because it can be dangerous
Good communication is essential for a driver to have. He must be able to express ideas ad concerns to his boss and other workers in the organisation. A good driver must not be docile because the road is fierce.

Experience they said is the best teacher. Having experienced driver is different from having well behaved driver. An experienced driver with bad manner and lots accident records is not fit to be employed. A driver who is also garrulous and do not have any self control is difficult to managed.

Probably, it is the reason some companies go for old drivers. They know that old drivers have been in the driving field for a very long time and they are very much experienced.

Most structures organizations have a transportation unit that man the vehicles owned by the company. And with it would come the need to hire drivers. These drivers' core roles is to make drive the company's vehicles on company duties. They are very essential to the organization.

Apart from driving skills, what again would you consider to be factors that would define a good company driver?

If you don't look responsible and calm, there is no way I am going to employ you to work as my driver who is going to be in charge of transporting my company's product.

Well, sometimes people can be offered such jobs because of their dressing. If you are well-dressed there is a high chance that you'll be offered the job easily.

Experienced is though needed, yet he must have charity along with it. He should be able to comport himself in a well mannered. He should dedicated, corporate and disciplined.

That's right, discipline is always very important for any driver. I think if there is any way you can be able to test their discipline then you should do so in order to select the best.

The driver needs to have good personality and as also well behaved. Cause the truth of the matter is the driver is still part of the company so he needs to be able to represent the company well.

Other than having good driving skills, a company driver should have a cleaning driving record, be reliable and trustworthy. S(he) should also have a good sense of direction and possess basic car repair skills.
Yes, I totally agree with you. In addition, a driver must also be able to work well with his team. And he must also have a good attitude. Because I often encounter drivers who are reckless and have a bad attitude, which endangers all other road users.

Probably, a company driver should be able to work effectively with the business team. He or she needs to be someone who is very lively in order to form good relationships with other workers.

This is something that is very important when it comes to hiring driver in any kind of sector even if it's your personal driver because their years of experience is going to speak very well for them in how good they are in the job.

That would be last thing I would have. I know how to drive a car. We have handsfree so we talk while we drive. If I really have to work and travel I would take public transport.
