I load trucks, and I pick the containers that go on the trucks to be shipped out using an RF gun that tells me which containers to pick. I also receive materials, scan them into the system, and put them in their locations using computers and an RF gun. I also work with management and other departments as needed, and I help keep a clean workplace.
