Shipdock was probably the only department at Amazon that seemed like a normal warehouse environment. It wasn't fun, but you just stayed busy and people leave you alone, whatever. The jobs like pick, stow and count - the ones where you're alone doing repetitive robot work at a high speed all shift were much worse. Management up everyone's butt about rate and bathroom breaks. Extremely depressing, physically and mentally deteriorating situation.
I was so confused when they gave me shipdock, but I've done the pallet stacking before, and I like the looks of what you're doing. They told me there will be a *LOT* of walking the warehouse, but I could stand to lose another 40 pounds lol! Trying to stay positive. Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your explanation and for taking some of the anxiety off me.
You don’t see many videos on shipdock. In my opinion it’s the best area to be in. You have so much more freedom. I work in shipping in an FC in the UK. What we use to stack packages in is cardboard Gaylords, or ATS carts. We don’t wrap pallets anymore. Although most of our packages are sorted automatically into gaylords from the shipping sorter, and we just change them out when they’re full.
I’m new at Amazon and I’m outbound packing. It’s ok. Sometimes I feel like I’m ok slow since it’s repetitive I’m almost at 30 days and I’m applying for my internal transfer to ship dock. Thanks girl.
Loved the video. I work for amazon as a packer, outbound flow pack, and Im gonna put in a transfer right now to outbound ship dock.. Thanks for explaining.
What do they call the position that loads and unloads the trailers? I was thinking that was ship dock. In the sort center the position in this video is container building. I currently do cross dock and TDR in a sort center and am looking to go full time at a fulfillment center.
I worked for Amazon in Apopka for a few months. I did picking, stowing, staging, water 🕷 spider, trailer load & unloader. I hated that job. One of the worst jobs I ever had in my 26yrs of working. I literally felt like a slave. Can't even tell you which was the worst part. (Maybe stowing) No matter where they put u, the meteor storm nightmare of packages was always OVERWHELMING. So many overpack gay lords and crates In the ship dock area you can't even see anybody. All u see is packages in every direction u turn...🤦🏽♂️ and the pay was hello my name is..💩 15.50/hr but hey really enjoyed your vid. Very good clarity, quality & audio. Very informative, helpful & attention grabbing. Great content! & great job at producing it.
I am currently working at Amazon AUS2 in Pflugerville TX USA; I am very interested in working in outbound ship dock versus stowing/picking/packing/receiving. I like to walk or have mobility around the warehouse. Also I strongly preferred jobs that DOES NOT have to do with metric rates or being labor-tracked. Like any waterspider duties, non-inventory, or hazmat waste sortation.
Thank you for making this! Today is my day 2 and I was absolutely nervous yesterday because i thought I was going to be a packer but when they said I was going to shipdock I was nervous as heck I've only done Stowing and packing I've never done shipdock so I was doubting myself and saying I wouldn't know what to do or what of I mess up but after watching this made me feel less nervous
@@Julian-ni9lu welp it wasn't even the job they put me in lol, they put me with the Roomba looking machines, and my job is called 'picking'. I like it there, I get to be alone most of the time. Which I prefer haha 😅. It does get tiering but ive gotten used to it in the 4 days I've worked there (I work part time on the weekends).
I'm currently pick nights and wanted to change my shift to day, but only outbound ship dock was available. This videos helps me make a decision on this switch. thanks
We do it all the time at MME1 especially if the items are in E4,E6,E7 or G10 boxes they're stronger stacked sideways and less likely to get compressed by the packages on top,you can also fit more in.
I work at a amazon sort center doing pallet building with packages that come down shutes. Most people are trash at building pallets I'm constantly rebuilding them.
@@stassisspace6632 i just got off my 2nd day honestly it’s ALOT of physical work! If you are very active it will be better, me personally I’ve never been super active but it’s not too bad. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE COMFORTABLE SHOES!!!! My building requires safety shoes and gave me a voucher to order some free of charge. I’m waiting on my shoes to arrive and my feet are killing me. Also a back brace will help im going to buy my own tomorrow bc girlllll MY LOWER BACK IS KILLING ME😭😭😭but seriously the work isn’t so bad the worst part in my opinion is loading the trucks. I love scanner and water spider doesn’t seem bad.
Lmao you packed that blue cart up so nicely, I just got crossed train to ob shipdock and mine are terrible and only like 70% full when I run out of space 😂
I swear that how mine use to be. I was to short to reach the top sometimes and truthfully the boxes never looked like they was matching together. As time went on I learned the boxes size what matches with what and how much of a certain smal box will add up to a box box
I do work out outbound myself at Amazon so definitely I get what you're coming from this definitely was a great video I don't make videos like this to be honest but I just keep that to my private life but you never know this video might motivate me to make a video about it
Well on day you should definitely make one. A lot of people just wanna watch videos like this so when they start they have a sense of what they're doing.
I do have a question about pallets, I just started working at Amazon’s ship dock. When it comes to lanes being bare or basically no package coming down, do I just move to a lane that’s busy? My ambassador was real shitty with explaining haha. Thank you so much for this video!
I’m also new but yes just wait 5 mins if nothing comes down move to a new one that has stuff on it but don’t overwork your self I did that and I don’t get anything in return but they did train me to Highs flats or whatever it’s called on my 4th week
I’m watching this because me, my sister & my brother will be working there next month & I’m trying to watch more videos of what to do & to see what other areas are there. Looks like an easy job. I’m sure it took time to get use to it right? Of what you should be doing
Yeah you will definitely get use to it really easy, main things that might be hard your first month is the amount of walking. Everything else should be really easy and repetitive.
@@AshlieGray before I transfered to ShipDock and then my current position as a Outdoor Marshall I was doing 30-40 thousand steps a day so 14-27 miles in safety boots collecting and transporting empty back totes on pallets with a pump truck.
I enjoyed this video and appreciate your commentary during it. Why are the boxes being wrapped in plastic - are they being sent to a different facility? Why are boxes being placed in the blue wire cage? Thanks for posting. I would like to see a video of you packing. From what I saw today you were steadily working but not rushing. All that I hear about the packing station is rush, rush, rush.
Hey and thank you. I don’t know why boxes are being wrapped in bags. All of those things come from pack but even when I was in pack they never told me to put a box in a bag. People do what they want at that some a lot. Boxed get placed in the cage to go to other filament center to be delivered. That’s just a way that we transport them. I will definitely try to make a video like that but stations like that have more being and I don’t want to get anyone on camera while trying to help other
They go to other Amazon facilities like sort centers and delivery stations where they get sorted out for delivery to specific areas. Fulfillment centers usually cover orders going out to potentially many areas. Delivery stations start to get more specialized to where the items will go to like within a city/neighborhoods.
Boxes are wrapped in plastic when put on a pallet to keep them from falling over, since the built pallet of boxes are moved around a lot from trailer to trailer, to different amazon centers before being delivered to the customers by the drivers. As for the blue wire cage, its usually reserved for smaller boxes? I assume, since there are different processes for x package going x. Ik this is 9 months old but thought I'd reply.
As an AA myself, I gotta ask - how do you feel bringing a camera inside? I mean, I understand carrying the phone is no problem, but how are you not worried about publicly posting videos online and violating Non Disclosure? You're not worried about OPs management finding this and losing your job?
But indy 1 is different, your departement is ship dock,but they train you to pick and send you everyday picking...give you 3 whrite up and send you home.
Getting transfered for full time ship dock. I can not stand in one place too long. There's a reason I never apply for office jobs. I would lose my sanity sitting at the same spot all day. I'm not a big man but I have the need to move and work.
in the Amazon Site I work at (MME1 in the UK) What you call a gaylord we call a JPS Cart/ATS Cage. What we call Gaylords are Cardbord frames that sit on a pallet and we put a base piece of card in the bottom then pack the parcels into that.
@@jtf2k442 nice I'm back in tomorrow I transferred to the TOM team so I'm now a outdoor marshal in the yard. You can always put in for a transfer there too mate
@@jtf2k442 yeah if you are on mid shift Aaron is one chill Team Lead. It's the best indoor department to be on Reece is a cool dude to have your back too
You might get lost but it’s not gonna be as bad as your thinking. I haven’t t gotten lost but I do get discombobulated while going through the isle and I might go the wrong direction then notice last min and have to walk the opposite way after everyone saw me. If you do get lost just ask honey no one pays that much attention there.
Omg that happened to me the second day I was working at Kohl’s warehouse I got lost 😞 and I felt stupid but yes I agree with her if you get lost ask someone
Elaina the late time I heard they were because corona is still out here and there’s really no say to when it’s going to end but when you apply you can always ask and they will give you information about it ?
Correction @ 4:05 the blue / grey cages are *NOT* called "Gaylords." They are called "Go Carts." Gaylords are the big cardboard box that sits on a pallet that you can put packages in. You cut a "U" shape into to unload/load. Sadly Amazon is trying to get rid of these universal shipping containers aka Gaylords/ pallets in favor for these "Go Carts." These Go carts are only used in the AMZL ( Amazon Logistics) & sort network. UPS & other carriers does not accept this shipping container method for a few reasons. A. The Go Carts are EXTREAMLY dangerous, B. These Go Carts are owned and made by Amazon and aren't Universal, C. They have to be sent back to a Amazon Sort center. That is why they are only used in Amazon's own delivery service (AMZL). Supposedly they are there to save money & to make it seem like the company is going green. But once these carts brake they aren't fixable and get thrown away. Plastic & metal doesn't go well with the the environment so I'm not sure why they are using these Go Carts. They can only be used so many times before it brakes down and are rendered useless. But hey, what do I know? I just work with these at Amazon daily and see them brake and get sent to the garbage afterwards. They suck and they need to go back to using Gaylords/ pallets. At least those are recyclable, cost less, & have a less impacted on the environment. Go Carts are $500 per cart as Gaylords are $12 per Gaylord. Who ever came up with these Go Carts should be fired and be put into jail for not thinking this through. Sorry for the rant but I had to correct you so those who don't work at Amazon know, and can help change this. These Go Carts are new and only been around for the last year so the more people that are aware of this awful invention, the sooner we can get rid of them.
I been working at Amazon in pack flow for a little over a year now. The only thing I like about it is that I can interact with the ladies(when the managers are not around) they tend to force me to push totes, go to another station, AFE2 or singles when there’s not enough work in the wall. Recently, they made me sort. It’s hard to move at their standards due to my movement speed(compared to young people) and my eyes that are getting bad. That’s why I’m thinking about transferring to finding someplace else to work at.
@@AshlieGray sorry I forgot to tell you! But my first day was good it was just training. And my first week was okayish . So much moving but that Amazon lol. I’m on my third week !!
True. I was in pack singles for my first 2 or so months, went to ship dock, I’ve been on the dock ever since. I’m a fluid loader and a “cart water spider”
I worked shipdock.... we loaded the trucks too staged the carts etc... returned the empty bags to the shelving... it was so heavy.... i don't know how people didn't get hernias... and that word gaylord on the floor was really unnecessary... it should have been worded differently...
Sort-Flow is a physically active role due to rebin which requires turning 180 degrees constantly to take items out of trays and place them into rebin shelves.
@@AshlieGray Yeah I kinda like it 😀 I am mostly assigned in scanning boxes and stack them into pallets and your stacking technique really helped me a lot! 🙏 thank you for sharing your videos about shipdock
no problem just trying to help and share what I needed to know honey! Best of luck in the job. have any other question about switching departments or anything just let me know
Sorry ,I’m petite and my height is almost 5 ft.☺️I’m wondering if I can do the work there since some reviews says that you can’t do the same job everyday.
@@ReinBerRB I am aware of that thank you but there is no setting in the scanner that says go cart. It says Gaylord so I am telling people what to expect.
2 Chronicles 7:14 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.REPENT TO THE MOST HIGH. EVERY DAY IS A BLESSING 2 REPENT ALL PRAISE TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL
hi I'm planning to apply but I just want to know are they (Amazon ) particular with the height or is there a height requirement and for a seasonal part time do you have any idea how many hours they give you for a week? Are you base in East coast?
In a week you get 40 hours. And when you have peak you will work 60 hours. I am not understanding what you mean when you say height. Are you talking about then horsing people depending on their actual height because if so they don’t have a problem with that.
I am a picker ,when I first applied at Amazon You take a mini quiz to test you on the type of position that are available.it does not matter on height,weight and disability.and when I applied you get to see the different shift that are available for you,I chose a 36 hr shift per week. But I do overnight and I only come in Thursday-Saturday.meaning 12 hr shift . I work at a fulfillment center at HOU2 .(Houston)
The whole Covid era was so crazy working in that hot ass warehouse barely being able to breathe as is and being forced to wear those horrible cloth masks that got filthy with sweat and saliva and hot air and basically did nothing to prevent transmission and not being able to breathe properly, crazy shit.
why is it that everyone is like oh you have to do this or that and work so fast because they'll be watching you and if you don't go fast enough they'll fire you? but you were working just fine seemed to me. probably they do watch but not as bad as all that.
They do watch you but in shipdock we didn’t have much packages so they can’t really do anything to you about it. But when your picking then say your rate should be 100 or above sometime mines is 80-100 and no one ever spoke to me before
If you move like that in a Germany Amazon Wearhouse you will not pass the probation period 😂😂😂 or in the most lucky way you will finish your first contact with Amazon and that will be all 😐😐😐
You are not a bother at all. And fc is where I worked so what I do in majority of the videos I made is what you will either do and what you might see other people doing I’m the building
Inbound focuses on bringing packages into the building ( unpacking trucks and products) while outbound focuses on brining packages out ( loading up the trucks)
You are either loading boxes and products on a line to be packed by someone or your the one doing the packing to put products in totes so people can stow them .
Shipdock was probably the only department at Amazon that seemed like a normal warehouse environment. It wasn't fun, but you just stayed busy and people leave you alone, whatever. The jobs like pick, stow and count - the ones where you're alone doing repetitive robot work at a high speed all shift were much worse. Management up everyone's butt about rate and bathroom breaks. Extremely depressing, physically and mentally deteriorating situation.
This is so true. Shipdock is the only place I tolerate. When I’m in pick I am constantly bored and feel like a robot
Fuck I’m gonna try to tra to shipdock. I’m a stower and I be sweating trying to go lightning speed.
Amazom is slave labor
Same that's why I looked this up. Dock I don't need to meet bs rates
Nbs I started doing water spider way better
Literally looking at this video during my break before I start next period. Thanks! You’re a life saver. My ambassador is horrible at explaining
😂 lol mine was too.
I was so confused when they gave me shipdock, but I've done the pallet stacking before, and I like the looks of what you're doing. They told me there will be a *LOT* of walking the warehouse, but I could stand to lose another 40 pounds lol! Trying to stay positive.

The pallets and cages are never this perfect.
I've never seen anyone stack the boxes sideways 😂😂😂 I'm going to try that tomorrow.
Listen lol, I stack it anyway I can while make sure its built without falling over, (other than laying down flat of course

Have you ever got lost and don’t know what to do???? I’m afraid of that if I worked there
You might get lost but it’s not gonna be as bad as your thinking. I haven’t t gotten lost but I do get discombobulated while going through the isle and I might go the wrong direction then notice last min and have to walk the opposite way after everyone saw me. If you do get lost just ask honey no one pays that much attention there.
Omg that happened to me the second day I was working at Kohl’s warehouse I got lost 😞 and I felt stupid but yes I agree with her if you get lost ask someone
Do you know if the customer service representatives work from home?
Elaina the late time I heard they were because corona is still out here and there’s really no say to when it’s going to end but when you apply you can always ask and they will give you information about it ?
Correction @ 4:05 the blue / grey cages are *NOT* called "Gaylords." They are called "Go Carts." Gaylords are the big cardboard box that sits on a pallet that you can put packages in. You cut a "U" shape into to unload/load. Sadly Amazon is trying to get rid of these universal shipping containers aka Gaylords/ pallets in favor for these "Go Carts." These Go carts are only used in the AMZL ( Amazon Logistics) & sort network. UPS & other carriers does not accept this shipping container method for a few reasons. A. The Go Carts are EXTREAMLY dangerous, B. These Go Carts are owned and made by Amazon and aren't Universal, C. They have to be sent back to a Amazon Sort center. That is why they are only used in Amazon's own delivery service (AMZL). Supposedly they are there to save money & to make it seem like the company is going green. But once these carts brake they aren't fixable and get thrown away. Plastic & metal doesn't go well with the the environment so I'm not sure why they are using these Go Carts. They can only be used so many times before it brakes down and are rendered useless. But hey, what do I know? I just work with these at Amazon daily and see them brake and get sent to the garbage afterwards. They suck and they need to go back to using Gaylords/ pallets. At least those are recyclable, cost less, & have a less impacted on the environment. Go Carts are $500 per cart as Gaylords are $12 per Gaylord. Who ever came up with these Go Carts should be fired and be put into jail for not thinking this through. Sorry for the rant but I had to correct you so those who don't work at Amazon know, and can help change this. These Go Carts are new and only been around for the last year so the more people that are aware of this awful invention, the sooner we can get rid of them.
We mostly use "Gaylords" for our trash and if we have an abundance for stuff for donating stuff!
They are Called go carts:)
This was better than the hands on training I got🙏🏽😭
I'm a process assistant for outbound packing at my amazon facility and I love my job
I would probably love ship dock if I had a shorter shift & my manager would switch up the rotation of pushing freight. Doing that all day isn’t fun
Omg I feel the same lately , lately the managers have been going crazy and doing unfair things so I avoid it at all costs
I been working at Amazon in pack flow for a little over a year now. The only thing I like about it is that I can interact with the ladies(when the managers are not around) they tend to force me to push totes, go to another station, AFE2 or singles when there’s not enough work in the wall.
Recently, they made me sort. It’s hard to move at their standards due to my movement speed(compared to young people) and my eyes that are getting bad. That’s why I’m thinking about transferring to finding someplace else to work at.
Today my first day and I’m outbound ship dock. It look easy but I don’t know I’m nervous
Lol don’t be nervous ! It will be easy. Let me know how your first day goes.
@@AshlieGray sorry I forgot to tell you! But my first day was good it was just training. And my first week was okayish . So much moving but that Amazon lol. I’m on my third week !!
You still work there?
@@z3urx541 yes
Thanks merci beaucoup, am starting next week, Amazon France
I will flat sort all day! Beats being a picker.
True. I was in pack singles for my first 2 or so months, went to ship dock, I’ve been on the dock ever since. I’m a fluid loader and a “cart water spider”
Good video Ashlie!!thank you
No problem sweetie
I work inbound in Madison Wisconsin as a yard marshal so please don’t send 10 packages in a cart 😂
Shipdock for the win 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
everyone says shipdock is hell and really hard, this doesn't look hard at all honestly.
Have a question please
What is the correct way to transport a go - cart?
A go cart is to be pushed. But I can’t see so they can’t tell me to push it so no one says anything if I pull
I worked shipdock.... we loaded the trucks too staged the carts etc... returned the empty bags to the shelving... it was so heavy.... i don't know how people didn't get hernias... and that word gaylord on the floor was really unnecessary... it should have been worded differently...
I love this jobs and I don't have a choice for working at Amazon,can you tell me where do you lived??
Would you know what does a sort-flow do? i see it in my A to Z. thank you
Sort-Flow is a physically active role due to rebin which requires turning 180 degrees constantly to take items out of trays and place them into rebin shelves.
@@AshlieGray Thanks Ashlie, I think that is supposed to be my department but now it is updated to ship dock. Keep safe😀
Lol damn you’ll like Shipdock it’s real easy going
@@AshlieGray Yeah I kinda like it 😀 I am mostly assigned in scanning boxes and stack them into pallets and your stacking technique really helped me a lot! 🙏 thank you for sharing your videos about shipdock
no problem just trying to help and share what I needed to know honey! Best of luck in the job. have any other question about switching departments or anything just let me know
You guys dont have pallet jacks?
We do
how is someone this pretty 😍
Sorry ,I’m petite and my height is almost 5 ft.☺️I’m wondering if I can do the work there since some reviews says that you can’t do the same job everyday.
They give ladders when you pick so if you signed up for that you will be fine
where is shipdock? is it in a fulfillment center? or delivery warehouse or somethin?
Fulfillment center
Cool video
I’m seeing l these names and don’t know which one to choose😭😭😭
Those aren’t gaylords, the gaylords are the cardboard boxes with no top or bottom that transport the boxes to sort/load
I’m aware but we call it a Gaylord due to us not having a actual button for it when setting it up and opening it on the scanner.
Those are go carts
@@ReinBerRB I am aware of that thank you but there is no setting in the scanner that says go cart. It says Gaylord so I am telling people what to expect.
@@ReinBerRB you are so correct...
@@AshlieGray yes there is a button for carts. You need to scan by cart ID first and then use pallet
Hey, do you happen to know what FC SUPPORT means? That’s the department I’ll be starting in.
I’m not completely sure love, but it may have something to do with returned/refunded products.
@@AshlieGray Understood. Thanks! Hope all is well :)
Gaylord or Cart? And why do you pack the boxes standing straight up?
Yes do a picking video thanks🙂

How to create platte and cart?
It’s so confusing my third day
so what role do they usually start a new hire in ?
Whatever role you apply for
@@AshlieGray mine just said “warehouse associate” so what role is that?
hi I'm planning to apply but I just want to know are they (Amazon ) particular with the height or is there a height requirement and for a seasonal part time do you have any idea how many hours they give you for a week? Are you base in East coast?
In a week you get 40 hours. And when you have peak you will work 60 hours. I am not understanding what you mean when you say height. Are you talking about then horsing people depending on their actual height because if so they don’t have a problem with that.
I am a picker ,when I first applied at Amazon
You take a mini quiz to test you on the type of position that are available.it does not matter on height,weight and disability.and when I applied you get to see the different shift that are available for you,I chose a 36 hr shift per week.
But I do overnight and I only come in Thursday-Saturday.meaning 12 hr shift .
I work at a fulfillment center at HOU2 .(Houston)
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
The whole Covid era was so crazy working in that hot ass warehouse barely being able to breathe as is and being forced to wear those horrible cloth masks that got filthy with sweat and saliva and hot air and basically did nothing to prevent transmission and not being able to breathe properly, crazy shit.
Smooth job 👌
Did you ever use a forklift or any other machinery?
No, the most I used was a pallet jack
why is it that everyone is like oh you have to do this or that and work so fast because they'll be watching you
and if you don't go fast enough they'll fire you? but you were working just fine seemed to me. probably they do watch but not as bad as all that.
They do watch you but in shipdock we didn’t have much packages so they can’t really do anything to you about it. But when your picking then say your rate should be 100 or above sometime mines is 80-100 and no one ever spoke to me before
Actually no tot when ur lifting 50 pounds to 100 pound packages. Ship dock is the hardest department
How much is the pay? I only make 15 at the grocery Amazon’s in a hate it because them 2 hrs in the freezer I’m transferring to a cross dock
Damn you do it all don’t you. Jesus . I think I’m going to stick to one and be satisfied with that.
Definitely stick to one. The most 2 after you do over 2 they will have you running back and forth department to department
So what do you call the ones that prepare the bins for the dsp drivers?
If you move like that in a Germany Amazon Wearhouse you will not pass the probation period 😂😂😂 or in the most lucky way you will finish your first contact with Amazon and that will be all 😐😐😐
Move like what ? On a slow day with little no now package they expect y’all to go find packages 😳...
What's the easiest job to learn at Amazon?
Pack for sure
hi, Is it possible to work on Amazon using headphones?
hope im not a bother but i just saw that my department says FC Shipping, do you know what i’ll possibly be doing?
You are not a bother at all. And fc is where I worked so what I do in majority of the videos I made is what you will either do and what you might see other people doing I’m the building
Ayyy ship dock fam. I’ve been on the dock for about 7 months
What do you do ? Pull cpts , problem solve, scan boxes or pack trucks
@@AshlieGray I’m usually fluid load, or a cart waterspider
@@maxlipschutz6749 ohh okay thats one of the best things in there
Looks so easy i might like this job 👍
It was a really slow day. Around Christmas can get crazy sometimes but it’s fun when you have people with you making you laugh
@@AshlieGray man so would I be able to ask for outbound ship dock like 2 weeks after getting hired or is there a set time until I can ask
@@ComandanteTresLetrasJGL you have to work 30 days before transfer to a different department
Can you send a video on picking
I just got trained at ship dock. I enjoyed it so much I transferred to the ship dock department.
How long did take for u to transfer ?
Then these carts get sent to the delivery stations?
Yes
What is the difference between INBOUND SHIP DOCK AND OUTBOUND????
Inbound focuses on bringing packages into the building ( unpacking trucks and products) while outbound focuses on brining packages out ( loading up the trucks)
@@AshlieGray Oh ok. Question: Do you know what does INBOUND RECEIVE DOCK is?
You are either loading boxes and products on a line to be packed by someone or your the one doing the packing to put products in totes so people can stow them .
@@AshlieGray AND NO RATE, Correct?!?!👀👀👀👀
@@AshlieGray That’s something I’ll really love! Thank you so much. Wish me luck 🍀.🤞🏾 I applied for it!
