Likely interview questions for this role
Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about your CDL A experience. What kind of equipment have you driven and how long?
What they are checking: Whether they have real hours behind the wheel, since a 9-car hauler is long, heavy and unforgiving.
Tell me about a near miss or incident on the road. What happened and what did you learn?
What they are checking: Whether they are honest about mistakes and learned from them, which says more than a claim of a perfect record.
Schedules are bid quarterly and night routes pay more. How do you think about which schedule fits you?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the shift bid system and will commit to the schedule they choose.
What would you do
Carvana trains you to load cars even if you have never hauled them. What worries you about learning to load a 9-car hauler?
What they are checking: Whether they will learn carefully and ask questions, since loading mistakes damage customer cars and cause injuries.
You are running late on a night route and the next hub wants the cars sooner. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they put safety and hours-of-service rules ahead of pressure to hurry, and communicate the delay.
You notice a new scratch on a customer car while unloading at the delivery hub. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they document and report damage right away, since the condition of each car is tracked from site to site.
About the work
What do you check on your pre-trip inspection, and what would make you refuse to take a truck out?
What they are checking: Whether they take inspections seriously and will stop for a real defect instead of driving it to stay on schedule.
How do you make sure cars are properly secured on a hauler, and when do you recheck the tie-downs?
What they are checking: Whether they understand securement and rechecking after the first few miles, which prevents losing a load.
How do you plan a route for a tall truck so you avoid low clearances and tight turns?
What they are checking: Whether they plan around height and length limits, since a car hauler cannot use every road a car can.
How do you keep yourself alert and safe on night routes?
What they are checking: Whether they manage fatigue seriously, since night driving with a full hauler leaves little room for mistakes.
