    3. Show you're data-savvy: Emphasize your comfort with mobile and desktop apps for reporting. If you've used Budini or similar systems, say so and explain what you did with them.

    4. Understand SLA and contracts: Talk about your exposure to CPK-based contracts or fleet SLAs. Explain how you ensured compliance and met customer expectations.

    5. Prepare for technical questions: Be ready to discuss tire wear patterns, load ratings, and when to escalate issues. Review common tire problems and solutions.
