About your past

What they are checking: Whether they pay attention to detail and take ownership of catching errors before customers see them.
How do you keep accurate records of what came in and what went out during a busy shift?

What they are checking: Whether they can use judgment on unusual tasks while knowing when to ask before acting.
What would you do
You're receiving a delivery and the count doesn't match the shipment record. What do you do?

A driver is in a hurry and wants you to skip a step in loading. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they stay polite but follow the process, since shortcuts lead to damaged loads and injuries.
You notice a pallet with damaged product that's about to ship. What do you do?

About the work

Walk me through how you check an outgoing shipment against the paperwork before it leaves.

What they are checking: Whether they think about weight balance, blocking, and bracing rather than just fitting everything in.
What safety habits do you follow when you're driving a forklift around people on foot?
