What is a load counter?

Load Counters are professionals responsible for accurately counting, recording, and sometimes verifying the number and type of items, goods, or materials loaded onto or unloaded from vehicles such as trucks, ships, or aircraft. They play a crucial role in logistics and inventory management by ensuring that shipments match documentation, preventing losses, and supporting efficient transportation operations. Load Counters may also be involved in reporting discrepancies and maintaining records to help streamline supply chain processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a load counter, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Load Counter, you need strong mathematical and organizational skills, attention to detail, and often a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with inventory management software, barcode scanners, and warehouse management systems is typically required. Reliability, effective communication, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced environment are important soft skills for this role. These skills ensure accurate tracking of shipments, minimize errors, and support smooth warehouse and logistics operations.

What are the main challenges a load counter faces during busy shipping periods, and how can they be managed?

During peak shipping times, Load Counters often experience high volumes of freight and increased pressure to maintain accuracy while working quickly. Managing this requires strong attention to detail, effective time management, and clear communication with warehouse staff and drivers. Many companies provide additional training and support during these periods, and teamwork is crucial to ensure all loads are counted and recorded correctly to avoid shipment errors.

Job description

Counter Sales Representative, HVAC and Refrigeration
The best counter people do not just sell parts. They keep the trade moving.
Full-Time Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM Ocala, FL Tropic Supply, Inc.
This Is Not a Retail Job
At Tropic Supply, the counter is where the trade comes to get answers. HVAC technicians, refrigeration contractors, and mechanical professionals walk through our doors every day expecting speed, accuracy, and someone who actually knows what they are talking about. That is who we are looking for. Our Counter Sales Representatives are trusted advisors, not order-takers. If you come from a parts counter, a mechanical trades environment, or any role where contractors and technicians depended on your product knowledge, this is a career move worth making.
Why Tropic Supply
We have been family-owned and operated for more than 53 years. That kind of longevity does not happen by accident. It happens because we take care of the people who take care of us, our customers and our team alike, and we are looking for someone who wants to be part of a team that stays.
What You Will Own
  • Help technicians and contractors identify the right part and solve product questions in real time, moving fast without sacrificing accuracy
  • Enter sales orders, process transactions, and handle returns, credits, and warranty claims
  • Keep the front end running cleanly even when volume is high and customers are stacked up
  • Assist with stocking, inventory counts, and helping customers load product safely
  • Build relationships that bring contractors back, treating every interaction as a chance to earn loyalty, not just close a transaction

You are the first person a contractor sees when they walk in and the last impression they take with them. Your job is to make both count.
Who Fits This Role
  • Treats every contractor like a professional relationship worth keeping, not a transaction to close
  • Stays calm and clear under pressure when the counter is stacked up and the phone will not stop
  • Has the judgment to ask when unsure instead of guessing on a part
  • Self-directed, with no need for constant supervision

What You Must Bring
  • Experience at a parts counter, supply house, or trades-adjacent environment, required
  • Familiarity serving HVAC technicians, refrigeration contractors, mechanics, or similar trade professionals
  • Comfort with product lookups, order entry, and fast-paced counter operations
  • Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and move materials safely in a warehouse and counter setting
  • Clear, professional, and patient communication under pressure

What Tropic Supply Offers
  • Company-paid 100% employee medical and life insurance
  • Optional dental and vision coverage
  • Voluntary short-term and long-term disability
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off
  • Employee discount programs
  • A stable, family-owned company where people are treated like they matter, and tenure is respected

Tropic Supply, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer and Drug-Free Workplace
