HGV driving is a physically demanding role. In an HGV driver interview, employers may ask questions to assess your work history and safe driving skills. Employers are looking for drivers with a willingness to work long hours, a dedication to safety and excellent customer service skills. Expect to discuss your driving record and answer situational questions that demonstrate your ability to handle stressful situations.
Here are three HGV driver interview questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: This question allows the interviewer to understand your work history as a professional HGV driver. Make sure you include any special licences you hold, the number of years you have been driving professionally, the distances travelled and any incidents on your driving record.
How to answer: HGV drivers must work as a team with production companies, management and customers to ensure that goods are available to the public. This question tests your customer service skills and your ability to handle stress on the job. If possible, discuss previous experiences you have had when dealing with shipment issues.
How to answer: New regulations for HGV drivers are introduced from time to time. This question allows interviewers to test your willingness to keep up to date with safe driving procedures. Make sure you review the current regulations prior to your interview and discuss how you plan to satisfy the requirements.
