Most of the questions are completely behavioral questions. Rarely did they ask any type of technical questions. Be sure to have examples of how you have overcome difficult situations and how you handled situations while working. Be willing to travel a lot and just be honest. I only had a phone interview, there was no face to face for me. Most of the work is DoT so a background and drug screens are required.
