What experienced CDL-A drivers should prepare before applying to drive for Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc.
Drivers researching truck driver requirements or completing a CDL driver application can make the process easier by knowing what will be reviewed before they apply.
Start With the Company Driver Requirements
Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc. currently requires company driver applicants to have at least two years of verifiable Class A CDL experience. The company also lists standards applicants should review before submitting a truck driving job application.
- No DOT-preventable accidents within the last 36 months
- No more than one speeding ticket within the last 36 months
- No cell phone violations within the last 36 months
- No more than six employers within the last 36 months
Additional qualifications can apply by freight type or position. Check the current Company Drivers page rather than assuming every opening has the same CDL job requirements.
What to Have Ready Before You Apply
A complete application for truck driver employment requires more history than many standard job applications. Buchanan currently asks applicants to be prepared with:
- Home address history for the past three years
- Current driver's license information and three years of license history
- Employment history for up to ten years
- Traffic accidents, violations, or convictions from the past three years
- Military history, when applicable
Having that information organized can make an online truck driver application easier to complete accurately. Drivers ready to apply for truck driving jobs with Buchanan can begin through the Company Drivers page or the application links on the Contact Buchanan page.
Why Driving and Employment Records Matter
Meeting the experience minimum is only one part of truck driver qualifications. Buchanan states that applicants are subject to driver history verification and background screening. Reviews can include DAC and PSP records, previous employment, licensing information, accidents, violations, and DOT or FMCSA compliance records.
Review Buchanan's DAC and PSP Background Check Disclosure and FMCSA and DOT Compliance Disclosure before completing a CDL application for employment.
Experienced Drivers Are the Focus
This hiring path is for qualified professionals, not entry-level CDL training. Buchanan recruits for experienced driver jobs across divisions that can include dry van, flatbed, Conestoga, heavy haul, and other opportunities based on current needs. Drivers searching for experienced truck driver jobs should compare their background with the specific position before applying.
Buchanan began in 1996 with one truck and two trailers and today operates more than 200 power units and more than 900 trailers. Learn more at About Buchanan or visit Truck Driver Resources.
What Happens After the Application?
Submitting a truck driver application online gives Buchanan the information needed to review an applicant's company driver qualifications. No hiring determination can be made until qualification paperwork is received and reviewed by a Buchanan representative.
For mileage and percentage based company drivers, Buchanan currently lists $800 in truck driver orientation pay and covered travel expenses. Applicants should confirm current orientation details with recruiting because hiring terms can change.
