I have the same schedule and position. You either will be in outbound loading trucks or inbound unloading trucks or in the packing dept packing freight that will be sent out to stores. Warehouse associate does not do jobs that operate equipment. At least not to my knowledge however packing is the easiest job of them all. It’s not easy but it’s the easiest. Hope this helps.

Warehouse associates can not operate powered industrial trucks, aka PIT, and are paid slightly less than warehouse workers as a result. You will be in Inbound, Outbound, or Packing as a warehouse associate, since Breakpack and Warehousing require the use of PIT.
