  • Report damaged, short or expired items to the shift supervisor
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count
  • Move pallets with a hand pallet jack to the dispatch lane
