About your past
This is part time with nights and weekends required. Tell me how that fits into your week.

Tell me about a time you had to juggle phone calls, messages and computer work at the same time.
What they are checking: Multitasking ability in a fast-paced, phone-heavy role without losing accuracy.
How do you build a good working relationship with a dealer you only talk to by phone?

What they are checking: Fair, logical decisions based on commitments and timing rather than whoever calls the loudest.
A customer's reservation is for a location that just ran out of trailers. How do you fix it without ruining their day?

You'll work under the Traffic Control Manager. If you think one of their equipment moves is a mistake, what do you do?

A field team member calls frustrated that equipment was sent to the wrong location. How do you respond?

About the work
How do you check your work so a reservation date, location or truck size isn't entered wrong?
