How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Expect a driving test with a real truck. Arrive rested and do your pre-trip check out loud so the assessor sees it.
Be honest about accidents or fines. Companies check your driving record anyway and trust drivers who tell them upfront.
