Do you stack up?
If you like to handle, move, organize, stock, pack, load and ship, then working with cargo may be your ticket into the trucking industry. In this section, you'll learn about the positions that support the warehousing and handling operations of a trucking business. While the cargo handling side of the business may not be the most glamorous, the industry needs people working behind the scenes to keep freight moving! Cargo handling operations are vital to ensure that freight gets into the hands of the people it is intended for—the Canadian public.

If you enjoy handling, organizing, stocking, unloading and loading goods and trailers, then you may be an ideal candidate for a position as:

Shunt Driver
Forklift/Tow Motor Operator
Dock Worker

If you see yourself managing and leading others, why not pursue a career as:

Dock Foreman/Supervisor
Warehouse Manager
Maintenance Manager

When you stop to consider that almost everything you ever buy reaches its destination by truck, you'll realize that there are many opportunities to work the back end of the industry. So why not find out if you stack up for a job moving freight – and become one of the people who are so vital to this industry?
