Drawn from the 4 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
Walk me through your pre-shift startup checklist on a forklift. What would make you refuse to drive it?
What they are checking: Whether they take inspections seriously and will pull an unsafe truck instead of driving it anyway.
You keep production supplied from inventory based on the schedule. How would you plan your moves when two lines need material at the same time?
What they are checking: Prioritizing by production need and keeping lines running, which is the main job of this role.
Tell me about your forklift experience. What kinds of loads and environments have you worked in?
What they are checking: Hands-on skill moving lumber or similar long, heavy, shifting loads in a yard or warehouse.
How do you safely move a long bundle of lumber through a busy yard?
What they are checking: Load handling knowledge like fork spread, travel height, visibility and speed with awkward loads.
How do you keep production records and inventory paperwork accurate while you're moving all day?

A production line is backed up and the supervisor asks you to help clear the bottleneck. What would you do?
What they are checking: Flexibility and teamwork when production needs help beyond normal material moves.
Tell me about a time you saw someone walking where they shouldn't near equipment. What did you do?
