By way of a diesel forklift, I loaded and unloaded large racks on a conveyor line for the production of concrete blocks. Once the rack was full, I would remove it and store it in the kennel area. At all times, I had to do quality checks to assure that the right temperature was kept for the curing of the blocks. After confirming that the blocks met quality standards I then loaded them onto a separate conveyor for the packing department.

Accept finished goods coming from production and prepare them for shipping. At times I would assemble boxes and make labels for smaller components. Mostly the production products were on pallets. With the pallets, I had to shrink wrap and band them using a wrap machine and a handheld banner. Afterwards I staged labeled and staged them in overhead rack by way of propane forklifts and aisle master forklifts. Once I received shipment orders, I staged and verified them awaiting the trucks arrival. Last but not least, I confirmed and inspected the trailer assuring that the wheels were chocked and the trailer locked engaged to the dock. Then proceeded to load the trucks.
