  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Essential Responsibilities
  • Load freight onto delivery trucks safely, efficiently, and accurately.
  • Verify freight against shipping documents before loading.
  • Sort and organize freight according to delivery routes and loading instructions.
  • Properly stack, secure, and protect freight to prevent damage during transportation.
  • Operate pallet jacks, forklifts, and other warehouse equipment safely, when authorized.
  • Inspect freight for damage and report discrepancies or shortages immediately.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe loading area.
  • Work closely with warehouse staff and supervisors to ensure all trucks are loaded on schedule.
  • Serve as a backup delivery driver when assigned, delivering products safely and on time while following company policies and DOT regulations.
  • Perform pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections when operating company vehicles.
  • Report vehicle maintenance issues, freight discrepancies, accidents, or safety concerns immediately.
  • Follow all company policies, OSHA safety standards, and applicable DOT regulations.
  • Perform other warehouse and delivery-related duties as assigned.
Required Skills
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Physical stamina to perform repetitive lifting and material handling tasks.
  • Time management skills with the ability to meet strict deadlines.
  • Safe driving practices and strong customer service skills.
  • Basic problem-solving abilities and a strong work ethic.
  • Effective communication and teamwork skills.
  • Safe operation of warehouse equipment (preferred).
  • Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities, including transitioning between warehouse and delivery responsibilities as business needs require.
