I've been on both sides of the table for those questions. Relax. Don't make things up. Be authentic and professional. Good luck!

I've also been on the hiring side of interviews. I've had to answer most of those, but I rarely asked them. Those answers do not reveal your personality.
I'm sure your interview will mostly be a chat. Just show off your work ethic, your desire to always do a good job, and above all to think and live safely.
...and express your appreciation for the opportunity and that your experience thus far at Fed-Ex has been a positive one. After it's all said and done make it clear to them you are confident you can do the job and the information discussed during the interview reinforced your desire to be driver trainee for FedEx.
Be sincere, honest, and authentic. Remember, one of the best things you can say to any interviewer, is "I am looking for a company I can stay with!"

So, after getting my CDL permit and working part time at FedEx for the last 5 1/2 months, they finally posted a Road driver apprentice job. I applied internally and have an interview today a 4:30. Pretty terrified. I don't interview well, most because almost every job I've had has been offered to me from people noticing my work ethic. My current manager sounded like he was dropping me a hint by saying "it will be VEEERRY similar to the one I gave you when you were hired for the dock." I may just be working myself up, but I want this to work out for me.
So how would some of you guys answer these questions. I can answer questions.....but not good at wording them to where they sound good, at least in my opinion.
Why do you want to work at (blank)?
What makes you want to choose trucking as a career?
Tell me about a time you exceeded your boss's expectations?
What is your greatest weakness?
What are your strengths?
What makes you a good fit for this company?
Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a coworker and how it was handled?
If a customer becomes irate towards you during a delivery, how do you handle that situation?
This is some of what I hear are common, and a couple I remember from my dock hiring. Anyone else here work for FedEx and remember their interview questions? Going in 4 hours.
