Finally got a call from a local company back home (currently hauling in the oil field) today. They want to interview me tomorrow. My question is since its a driving job where its pretty physical having to lump my own freight all day, is nice boots, nice jeans and a shirt appropriate? Or should I go Dockers and boots? I don't want to under dress but it is for a physically demanding job so I don't want to over dress either. What do you think?
what to wear to a SYGMA driver interview?

I'd go with the Dockers and boots. Jeans may seem a little relaxed.
-
You should wear a suit to it. It's a job interview. Or you could just wear a pair of jeans with a tie but I would go with a suit.
-
Really A suit?! If I had trucks and you walked in wearing a suit, I would be quite surprised.
Wear nice jeans (clean, no rips or tears) and a nice collared shirt (like a polo shirt) and a nice clean pair of boots.
Hell I've work a T-shirt and many interviews and have gotten jobs no problem.CenutryClass Thanks this. -
If this is another driving position just dress casual.As long as you have good hygiene and clean clothes not ragged,they don't care.

You only get one chance to make a first impression.ecmcintosh Thanks this. -
I'd wear Khakis or Black Pants ... not Jeans, and a button up collared shirt. Nice functional shoes, boots work, but no tennis shoes. Also cover up all visible tattoo's
I would also not wear a suit. Dressing up for a job interview is appropriate, but a suit may make a statement that you do not want to make. Most executive managers will not do the tasks that you will be assigned as a Driver ... but they would wear a suit to an interview or meeting. -
You'll look #### funny showing up in a suit, then bossman says do a pre trip and road test.....now !

Truck driving job or not, i would never wear jeans to a job interview. Remember, you are trying to sell yourself, Dress pants and a neat clean Polo or dress shirt. A suit isnt neccessary.

wear a t-shirt that reads "u.s. foods sucks"
