This labor-intensive position is responsible for hand building pallets of product for bulk and route trucks. Each type of loading requires strict attention to order accuracy with respect to loading outgoing trucks and unloading incoming trucks. The role involves working from an electronic order system or order sheets to build loads using a forklift and/or electronic pallet jack. The position is responsible for accuracy in loading and complying with shipper/receiver documentation, following warehouse instructions in building loads. Employees must maintain a clean and safe work environment. The position may be required to work across a wide variety of weather conditions and hours, and shift duration depends on work load and may vary daily. Transport truck loading involves moving full pallets of products from the warehouse onto a trailer and removing any returned pallets/plastic flats, as well as unloading raw materials. Bulk truck loading involves selecting designated packages and flavors of products from the warehouse and loading them onto a pallet, maintaining stability through proper stacking and shrink-wrapping, and unloading returned products. Route truck loading involves selecting customized products/packages for each truck based on salespersons' orders and unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats. The position requires lifting a very high volume of cases of product per day (20-45 pounds per case) repeatedly during a long work period, and constant standing, walking, bending, twisting, squatting, reaching, and grasping as product is moved.
