Your Shift, In Motion

You clock in at 40790 Fletcher Avenue and the pace kicks on fast. Packages arrive from FedEx and UPS, you check them in, and the right people get notified quickly. Drivers roll through, and you help keep unloading moving so routes stay on schedule. As the day builds, you jump between staging areas and storage lanes, keeping the floor clean and organized when a dent or spill pops up. Month-end brings extra energy-counts, checks, and tight coordination-then you wrap up knowing the operation stayed sharp from first delivery to final trailer.

• 401(k)
• Life Insurance

• Paid Time Off to recharge
• a Snack/Drink Room for quick refuels
