Job Duties:

• Manage container loading strategy for 40' and 45' containers, maximizing space while maintaining safety standards
• Ensure proper weight distribution across trailers to support safe and compliant transport
• Execute efficient and accurate pallet loading, distinguishing between top and bottom freight placement to prevent damage
• Read and interpret loading manifests to build containers according to shipment requirements
• Block, brace, and secure cargo to prevent shifting during transit
• Handle hazardous materials safely and ensure proper placement in compliance with regulations
• Support high-volume warehouse and cross-dock operations with speed and accuracy
• Maintain a safety-first approach in all loading and material handling activities

Benefits:

• Fair Weekly pay that lands right on time.
• Real benefits: medical, dental, vision, life + optional 401(k)
• Respect for what you do.
• Safety culture that has your back.
• Real teamwork. No dead weight.
