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.
