Job Summary

This logistics career path is perfect for those who enjoy immediate, tangible results and thrive in a bustling, team-oriented industrial environment.

Comprehensive Responsibilities

High-Speed Sorting: Visually identify destination zip codes and routing codes on fast-moving packages, sorting them accurately into designated chutes, carts, or gaylords.
