  Customer Service Representative

  Warehouse work was a means to support my family. I loaded and unloaded tractor-trailers, bulk trucks, flatbeds, and freight cars. This was accomplished by manually unloading 25 kg. bags, or operating various equipment such as forklifts, clamp trucks, vacuum hoppers and silos, hand trucks, or pallet jacks. I assisted in warehouse configuration by calculating, and establishing space for large shipments, new customers, or general reorganization for inventory control. I also set up permanent warehouse locations along the aisles by running cables for the length of 5 rooms (between 100-200 yards). I anchored them 25 ft. from the ground utilizing hammer drills, laser levels, and other hand tools. I followed OSHA guidelines for working at elevated heights and wore a full-body harness, and shock-absorbing lanyards to anchors and self-retracting lifelines (SRLs) while operating a scissor-lift. The majority of our customer's inventories were stored, and transported, in Gaylord boxes and FIBC bags weighing as much as 3000 lbs. To optimize space we stored them, when possible, four high. I was later promoted to a coordinator role. I worked closely with the warehouse manager and temporarily took on the responsibilities of supervisor until our facility hired an experienced team member. I made sure our employees operated under safe conditions and cycled them through their breaks. I verified picking orders and assigned them by priority to our associates.I was then moved into a CSR position where I coordinated with clients on logistics. I processed purchase orders, kept up our database, and participated in meetings and training. Show less
