It is also responsible for unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats.

Route truck loading involves selecting designated packages and flavors or pallets of products from the warehouse and loading them into the truck. Product/packages for each truck are customized based on the salesperson’s order. The position is responsible for unloading returned products and pallets/plastic flats.
