State what you currently earn, including truck allowance or bonus, then let the company make its most competitive offer rather than locking yourself into a single number early. Quoting too high can end the conversation before the hiring manager sees your value; quoting too low leaves money on the table that is hard to recover. Settle your real bottom line with your recruiter before the interview so they can handle the negotiation. Also ask the interviewer about their timeline for a decision, and mention you intend to give your current employer proper notice. That signals professionalism, which hiring managers remember when they compare candidates.
