Tell me about a time you were held to a production goal. How did you keep up?

What they are checking: Whether they can work at a steady, measured pace since performance incentives are part of the pay.

How has your attendance been at past jobs, and what helps you show up every shift?

What would you do

You find a case that's crushed or leaking. What do you do with it?

Shifts start at 2 p.m. and run until the work is done. How do you feel about shifts that end at different times?

What they are checking: Whether they can accept an unpredictable end time without it hurting their attendance or attitude.

The trailer you're unloading has a load that has shifted and looks unstable. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they stop and get help with dangerous loads instead of rushing and risking injury.

About the work

How do you separate inbound freight by item code when a trailer has a lot of mixed product?

What they are checking: Whether they work carefully and methodically so the right product lands in the right place in inventory.

How do you build a pallet so it's stable and won't tip or crush the cases on the bottom?

What they are checking: Whether they understand weight placement and structural integrity, which protects product and coworkers.

How do you lift a heavy case safely when you're doing it hundreds of times a shift?
