A delivery truck pulls up—you receive parts against purchase orders and packing slips, verify quantities and condition, and stage items for put-away.

After lunch, you prep outbound shipments—printing packing slips, bills of lading, customs forms when needed—labeling, packaging, and staging pallets.
