question about distribution & warehousing jobs

No3ntry · 28 Feb 2008 at 16:15

I am looking for a new job in logistics having worked in logistics for 4 or more years.
What I am noticing is a lot of these jobs are advertising as distribution AND warehousing.

What does the warehousing side of the job entail ?

Regards
James

Picking and packing, cleaning, fast truck ,forks or loading i'd guess.

Where abouts in derbys are you?

Like a long powered pallet truck, holds 2 pallets for moving from one side of a site to another.

Also known as a low leval order picker i think.

At a guess, it's probably like an electric ride-on.
