Warehouse Person (Loader)
About The Position
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, and maintaining a clean and safe work environment. The shift duration depends on work load and may vary daily, and the position may be required to work across a wide variety of weather conditions and hours. 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 and placing them in designated warehouse space. Bulk truck loading involves selecting designated packages and flavors of products from the warehouse and loading them onto a pallet, maintaining pallet stability through proper stacking and shrink-wrapping, and in most cases, loading pallets onto a trailer for local delivery. This also includes unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats. Route truck loading involves selecting designated packages and flavors or pallets of products from the warehouse and loading them into the truck, with product/packages customized based on salespersons' orders, and unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats.
