Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.
About your past
Tell me about a job where you had to keep track of a lot of items and keep records accurate.
What they are checking: Whether they treat inventory records seriously, because staging only works when the system matches the lot.
This is outdoor work in all weather. Tell me about a physical job you have done in heat, cold or rain.
What they are checking: Whether they know what the job really demands and will stay safe and steady through Chicago-area weather.
The posting mentions certifications, stinger loading and a Loader to Driver CDL program. Which of those interests you, and why?
What they are checking: Whether they want to grow here, since the role is built around added skills that raise pay over time.
Tell me about a time you kept your work area organized when things got busy.
What they are checking: Whether they keep the lot and workspace in order, which the posting lists and which prevents accidents and lost cars.
What would you do
You notice fresh damage on a car you are staging that is not on the inspection report. What do you do?

A truck is waiting to be loaded and two cars on the list are not staged yet. How do you handle it?

You are falling behind on your processing standard for the day. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they speak up early and ask for help instead of rushing and skipping safety or inspection steps.
About the work
You will use a handheld scanner to log where each car is. What would you do if the scanner says a car is in a spot and it is not there?
What they are checking: Whether they can troubleshoot inventory location calmly, since a lost car delays a customer delivery.
What do you check on a multi-point inspection when a car comes in or goes out on a transport?
What they are checking: Whether they can document a car's condition accurately so damage is caught before it is blamed on the wrong step.
What does driving safely on a busy lot full of inventory cars look like to you?
