Your shift
Which shift can you work? First shift starts early (5:00am) and is done by mid-afternoon. Second shift starts in the afternoon and runs into the late evening (10:30pm).
Which of the following do you prefer? (There's no wrong answer; it helps us understand how to set up your schedule.)
We also hire part-time forklift operators for evenings. That listing is here.

Your forklift time
Tell us about your current or most recent job driving a forklift. Where is it, how long have you been there (or when did you leave), and what do you move?
Maximum response length: 2-3 sentences
Which of these have you run as a regular part of a job?
About how many years, in total, has driving a forklift been a regular part of your job?
What make and model do you drive most, at your current or most recent job?
If you don't know the model, the make is fine.

Your craft
Every good driver has something they do better than most: loading a trailer tight, keeping a staging area organized, a faster way to do something that you worked out yourself. What's yours?
Maximum response length: 2-3 sentences
Tell us about a time you hit or damaged something with a forklift: a rack, a door, a pallet of product. What happened, and what happened next?
Anyone who has driven long enough has one. Maximum response length: 2-3 sentences
You get to teach a brand-new driver one thing about safety. What do you tell them?
Maximum response length: 1-2 sentences

On the floor
Mid-shift, Line 2 radios that they are about to run out of glass. At the same moment a truck driver at the dock asks you to unload him now, because he is late for his next stop. You are the only one on a forklift. What do you do?
There's no single right answer; we're reading how you think. Maximum response length: 3-4 sentences
You're unloading an inbound trailer of empty cans. Halfway in, you find a pallet that shifted in transit: it's leaning, the wrap is torn, and part of one layer is crushed. The canning line needs cans in about 15 minutes, and the driver wants his paperwork signed so he can leave. What do you do?
There's no single right answer; we're reading how you think. Maximum response length: 3-4 sentences
Record a quick (1 to 2 minute) phone video and upload it here: What used to be hard about driving a forklift that is easy for you now?

We watch every video, and applications without one rarely get an interview. Talk to the camera like you're telling a coworker. No script, and please don't upload your resume or film a written answer.
