You should be comfortable with:

  • Frequent standing, walking, bending, reaching, and lifting
  • Loading and unloading freight
  • Moving and handling freight throughout the shift
  • Working around forklifts, dock equipment, and moving freight
  • Working in a fast-paced warehouse/freight environment
