Loader

Pinson Truck And Freight LLC is a growing transportation, logistics, and warehousing company based in Sacramento, California. We provide freight transportation, regional distribution, warehouse management, and order-staging solutions throughout Northern California, helping businesses move and manage shipments safely, accurately, and efficiently.

As our freight and warehouse operations continue to grow, we are seeking a dependable, hardworking, and safety-conscious Loader to support daily receiving, loading, unloading, shipment staging, and freight-handling activities.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys active work, works well in a team environment, and takes pride in handling customer freight carefully and efficiently.

Position Overview

The Loader plays an important role in keeping incoming and outgoing freight moving safely, accurately, and on schedule.

This position supports the movement of shipments throughout our warehouse and loading operations—from incoming truck or trailer delivery through receiving, sorting, storage, staging, and final preparation for outbound transportation.

Daily responsibilities include unloading freight, checking shipment information, organizing materials, retrieving products from designated locations, staging outbound shipments, preparing pallets, and assisting with truck and trailer loading.

Accuracy and organization are essential. Freight for different customers, destinations, routes, and scheduled shipments must remain properly identified and separated throughout the handling process. The Loader helps verify shipment labels, quantities, destination information, and available documentation while identifying visible damage, missing items, or other discrepancies before freight moves to the next stage of distribution.

The Loader also helps protect customer freight by following appropriate handling, positioning, wrapping, and securing procedures. Proper preparation helps reduce unnecessary product movement and damage while supporting efficient use of warehouse and trailer space.

Working closely with drivers, warehouse associates, and operations personnel, the Loader helps maintain an organized freight flow and supports accurate, timely outbound departures.

The ideal candidate is reliable, physically active, attentive to detail, and committed to safe material-handling practices. Previous experience in loading, shipping and receiving, warehousing, distribution, or freight handling is helpful but not required. Training will be provided for the right candidate.
