A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN ENTRY-LEVEL DAY OR NIGHT TRUCK UNLOADER

As a Truck Unloader, you are the cornerstone of our production process. You ensure that our raw floor has enough raw material to run the manufacturing plant. Based on what is available and what is needed, you communicate effectively with the Raw Loader Operator to coordinate which loads should be dumped next. You keep a running log of the trailers dumped as well as what is available in the yard. Much of your time is spent jockeying trailers and tipping them with a truck tipper. You work in a safe and timely manner.

For trailers that do not fully unload by gravity, you use a skid steer to empty the contents of the trailer. You ensure a steady flow of raw material in order to maintain a consistent mix of materials. To make sure that the trailer is set up in accordance with customer requirements, you clean the Bartlett lift trailer and dock area after dumping. You position each trailer in the holding lot to ensure readiness for the next routes. As a get-it-done person who likes to be active, you take pride in a job well done!
