Role of Delivery Assistant/Swamper
You’ll be working alongside a driver and another assistant every day. You and your fellow swamper will work in tandem with a forklift to load the truck according to the driver’s efficient loading plan.

· Proactive – you look for ways to pitch in and respond when you see a need.
· Driven – you want to succeed at this job because you can build a career here.
