- Operate forklift, assist shipping and receiving with loading and unloading operations. Load and unload trailers in a safe and organized manner. I follow procedures for staging trailers and load the units of corrugated sheets. I am trained on how to raise and lower dock plates so that I can load the units. I do basic math and use a tape measure to calculate the sizes of units to determine the max MSF per truck. I am proficient in shipment and planning. I use the Axiom tablet to scan each unit. This tablet keeps track of where each unit is.
