As a haulage contractor, I would be amazed if someone turned up for a driving job wearing a suit!! I'd try something clean, tidy but casual.

The usual rule of thumb - interview-wise - is to dress as you would be expected to dress at work. Are you going to drive in a suit? -- but I really see no harm, if that's what you want to do.

No not at all at least you are giving out the right impression that you are capable of caring for yourself.
But if I was going for this job I would go for something a bit more casual as this job will most likely not entail you to wear a suit so why wear one to the interview.

I don't think so. I think it shows pride in your appearence and proffessionalism. This means when you are driving you are going to be a safe competant driver and not endanger the goods, yourself and other people.

Acutally, mature usually means older. However, I always go to interviews dressed really nicely. It shows them you are taking the position seriously and really want it.

Wear a suit
It will show you are serious and mature, I would rather someone in a suit than a scruffy git turned up in ripped jeans and dirty t shirt.
What else would you wear if you didn't wear a suit?
I think that's what they meant when they said 'mature'.

Wear the suit, it shows respect and that you care about how you look, and if you care about that you will care about the job.

They're looking for a grown-up, responsible, sensible and trustworthy driver. There are in fact some transport companies that make their drivers wear collar and tie! There's nothing wrong in wearing a suit to an interview, it shows you're taking things seriously and you're doing them the courtesy of dressing neatly.
(Don't forget to polish the shoes, I had a colleague who always looked at a candidate's shoes and considered that if he couldn't be bothered to polish them he wouldn't be bothered to do the job properly)
