Loaders/Unloaders
Loaders and unloaders work in warehouses and oversee the shipping operations. Just as the name suggests, their main role is to load freight onto ships, trucks, trains, and other transportation means alike before they are sent out. They then also help to unload incoming freight to warehouse facilities.
While it may seem like a straightforward job, there is more to this role than meets the eye.
Understanding the Role of Loaders/Unloaders
Loading and unloading is a time and labor-intensive job and requires both quick thinking as well as physical exertion, good organizational skills, and being able to adhere to regulations set in place. In most cases, freight is not simply and randomly dumped in and out of shipping vehicles. Instead, they are carefully categorized and arranged to maximize the use of space within the cargo area.
In addition to that, not all freight is created equal, and some cargos will require specific handling rules while others have different priority statuses. Loaders and unloaders hence have to be able to work through all these parameters. They must also take all precautions necessary to ensure that time-sensitive cargoes are accurately loaded before it is brought to the next hub.
Day to day operations include tasks such as:
- Train on a forklift, electric jack, as well as walkie stacker.
- Manage customer support, quality representation, and quality communication for every customer.
- Scan and account for products with RF guns and use double jacks to drop off freight into isles for lift drivers.
