When it comes to complex problem solving, decisions are not always readily reached. It takes practice, experience, and confidence to learn what sorts of decisions yield the best results when you're on the road. Walk the interviewer through your process when it comes to making quick decisions. Do you rely on past driving experiences? Perhaps you go with a gut feeling. Maybe you have heard stories from other truck drivers, that you can lean on in these instances.

Problems that require you to act quickly can be emergencies such as coming across an accident or blowing a tire. Other quick decisions could be if you come across a detour and need to rethink your route. The more you learn to trust your intuition, and lean on your past experiences, the easier it becomes to make these types of decisions. Demonstrate that you are confident and able to react swiftly when the need arises.

"In transportation, there are often split-second decisions that can either get the freight to a customer on time or cause a late delivery. On more than one occasion, I've received a call from dispatch notifying me of a roadblock or change in route. Due to the urgent nature of the transport business, we need to work together to resolve these issues quickly successfully. Luckily, due to my years of experience, I've been able to make very fast, split-second decisions in the best interest of the company and customer, by leaning on my road and geographical knowledge."
