About your past

This shift runs 2:30 PM to 1 AM. How have you handled late shifts before?

Tell me about a time you helped another department even though it wasn't your job.

What they are checking: Willingness to pitch in across the plant, which the posting lists as part of the role.

What would you do

Production needs cartons staged, and a truck is waiting to be loaded at the same time. What do you do first?

What they are checking: How they prioritize between feeding production and meeting shipping commitments, and whether they ask for help.

You find a pallet that's poorly wrapped right before it ships. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they rework it instead of shipping a pallet that could arrive damaged at a medical customer.

What does an organized warehouse look like to you at the end of your shift?

What they are checking: Whether they take ownership of cleanliness and organization so the next shift starts clean.

About the work

You'd run the TEQ plant schedule for the shipping dock. How would you plan your shift so shipments go out on time?

What they are checking: Whether they can read a schedule and plan their work ahead instead of reacting to whatever is urgent.

What do you look for on a pick ticket before you pull an order?

What they are checking: Attention to customer shipping specifications, quantities and lot details that prevent costly shipping mistakes.

Why does it matter to scan every pallet to its final location?

What they are checking: Understanding that inventory accuracy depends on scans, and a missed scan means lost product later.

Tell me about your forklift experience and how you load a truck safely.

What they are checking: Safe loading habits like checking the trailer, wheel chocks and load balance, not just driving skill.

Walk me through how you receive a shipment of raw materials.

What they are checking: Whether they verify counts, condition and paperwork against the receiving procedure before accepting materials.
