Handlers/Unloaders: Description: Freight Handlers Inc. has opportunities available for hard working individuals looking for an opportunity to grow with a growing company. FHI prides itself on employing the industry’s most experienced and reliable unloading professionals. We go the extra mile to develop and retain quality employees—an approach our customers acknowledge and appreciate. FHI provides a wide range of freight handling services designed to create a professional and productive unloading environment that benefits everyone involved in the distribution pipeline. Handlers unload trailers delivering product to grocery and general merchandise distribution warehouses and use powered industrial equipment (Fork lifts & Powered pallet jacks) as the primary means of removing product from the trailer; however, hand stacking cases of product is an integral and repetitive part of the unloading process. Work is performed in a warehouse setting and is physically demanding. Consequently, handlers must be capable of consistently, efficiently and safely performing such work. Moderate twisting and turning of the body is necessary in maneuvering the pallet jack and in observing safe paths of travel. It is a full-time job that may include break(s) and/or a lunch period based on daily hours worked.
As part of the FHI team, you will receive a generous compensation package, including company sponsored health benefits, vacation pay and the opportunity to participate in the company’s 401(k) plan. We treat employees with tremendous respect and offer opportunities for career advancement. In return, we look for employees with a professional attitude and a burning desire to meet our customer’s needs.
