Candidate-reported interview process

So after the initial phone chat, I had two in-person interviews. Then there was a skills test, and after that, they did a background check which covered driving, credit, and criminal history. They also required a DOT physical before I got the offer.

I interviewed with two people and they asked me to recall my past experiences.

I first spoke with HR, then I had meetings with two of my potential managers.
