Outbound Freight Handler - Part-Time

As a PT Outbound Freight Handler, you will load and unload freight onto and off of equipment, and assist in the recouping of damaged freight. You will prepare, sweep, inspect, and clean trailers before loading freight using safe lifting techniques.

On a typical day, you will select and use proper freight handling equipment such as forklifts with appropriate hardware, hand trucks, drum trucks, pallet jacks, and rollers. You will weigh and dimension shipments to ensure proper classification, freight rating, and safe handling, while also planning cube utilization and proper weight distribution when loading freight.

You will count and inspect the condition of freight, documenting any shortages or damage, and review freight bills for special instructions. You will check manifests for existing exceptions, verify labels and destination codes, and check headloads against freight bills to ensure accuracy.

This role offers the opportunity to verify hazardous material product descriptions, determine discrepancies in paperwork, and verify proper placarding when loading hazardous materials. Properly blocking and bracing freight to prevent shifting during transport is a key part of ensuring safe delivery.
