I’ve worn new black work trousers (dickies), new black polo shirt, and new work boots to my last three interviews. I’ve had with me in a bag a new hi-vis vest and work gloves.
Explained to the interviewer that I’ve come prepared for a driving/coupling-up assessment.
Been offered a job at each of the three interviews I attended, so this approach has worked well for me. Good luck with it.
that must have cost a bit… new trousers polo shirt and boots at each interview
As well as making yourself clean well dressed and presentable for a job interview also make sure your car is clean inside and out when you arrive,a potential employer may look at your car and if its clean and damage free they might think you will be more inclined to look after their vehicles in the same way.

I’d be quite insulted if an employer wanted to look at the inside of my car. It has nothing to do with them. It would just be like applying for an office job and the employer/interviewer asking to come to your home to see how tidy you keep your computer desk etc.

Why not turn up at the interview in the Emperors new clothes
I’d always go smart/casual but based on what their existing drivers attire is. Be a bit tidier, always dark jeans or trousers, clean/polished work boots and either polo shirt or shirt, depending on the employer, their existing employees and how much I want the job.
seth 70:
Bright green mankeeny,rigger boots ,gimp mask and poolball in mouth
That is soooo last season love.
Correct suedehead,the mankeeny should be black from the winter collection,wtf is with all the topics about what to wear for interviews ,have these people just left school and going for their first job,you are going for a job driving a lorry use your head ffs
caledoniandream:
Smart casual and clean washed and shaven.
Don’t use strong aftershaves of mints, its horrible to have to talk to somebody who smells like a perfume shop or a toilet cleaner.
Have your PPE in the boot of your car or in your bag.
Your a driver not applying for the job of Managing Director, so no need to be in a suit, but clean shirt (preferably not an “hurt your eyes” Hawaiian shirt) clean trousers and polished shoes, show respect for the company and the person who interviews you.
The first impression counts the most, and you have only one chance of a first impression!
This is spot-on. Smart casual not only gives a good impression but it makes you feel confident because it enhances your sense of self-esteem because you FIT. You don’t need extra clothes in the bag because the most you’ll be asked to do is to undertake a driver assessment in a lorry with a clean cab (they want to impress you too, and if the cab’s filthy you may not want the job anyway). You can wear a hi-viz vest simply because most transport yards today require them and you can always park it on the back of your chair during the interview. Good luck! Robert
My old place manager came out conference room in knots, asked him what’s happening ? said look in, guy had turned up for interview for class 1 with a “beer monster” t shirt on
