Probably, drivers with years of experience is going to have a smooth ride with the company. On the long run they can even increase his salary because of how good he is.
Experience on the road is very important. Accident records is also very important when you are setting out to employ a driver.
Apart from driving skills, a company driver needs to be someone who does not use drugs. Or at least they know they can't drink and drive. Also, they need to posses integrity and honesty so as not to steal any goods they will be transporting.
This is one of the major important things that must be put into consideration. A driver that uses drugs may likely end up having accident on the road.
Very true, that would be very unethical. Imagine me not smoking but my driver smokes. It does not make any sense. I would want to hire someone that does not smoke nor drink as well.
Well, that is one of the characteristics of a driver. They always know every routes in a particular area. Of course they must follow traffic rules and regulations.
A driver will certainly have the expertise to drive a car besides that he must also have a driver's license, be healthy or not have a chronic disease, don't like drinking to the point of being drunk, memorize the rules and road signs, have a neat appearance. have basic car repair skills, Minimum high school education
I think a person's level of honesty should also be checked when you want to employ a company driver. Some drivers extort their bosses with the pretext that something is wrong in the vehicle.
Unfortunately, honesty is not something you evaluate immediately you look at people. They needs to be tested before they can be trusted.
One of the major qualities to observe in a driver is his ability to have a good experience of the areas where the business is located.
I think that many companies would consider their track record. A driver must also posses many abilities. For example, he must have good knowledge about directions and he must be well-versed with the location of the city.
That's the reason people employ for this kind of sensitive positions based on recommendations. I know of a lot of people that won't employ for some positions from the job market pool. They would rather employ based on recommendations.
Those are needed for smooth running of the driver's role as those are part of the driving skill required of a driver , ability to use the Google maps is a plus too so as to navigate through unknown places
A modern driver has to understand how to use the navigation system. A modern driver should know how to drive automatic cars and manual cars very well.
