  What I do every day
I move stock and freight from one place to another. Depending on the size and shape of the container, I use carts, dollies, forklifts, or handtrucks. If the boxes are light, I carry them by hand. I know where to move everything because my boss instructs me, either verbally or in writing. I move all kinds of raw materials and finished goods between work areas, storage areas, and loading docks. The things I move depend on where I work. It’s important that I work quickly and carefully because other workers depend on me to get the materials to them on time and in good condition.
