Classification
Summary
Cargo receivers accept cargo arriving from transportation companies at warehouses or facilities, and perform tasks such as inspection, sorting, and placement.
Description
Cargo receivers receive cargo transported by trucks or containers, verify quantities and check for damage by matching invoices with actual items. After inspection, they sort and place the cargo in appropriate locations, using pallet loading/unloading, manual labor, forklifts, etc., to move it. Tasks also include data entry into inventory management systems, securing entry routes, and complying with safety standards. The work requires physical strength and efficient teamwork.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of e-commerce and logistics centers, demand for cargo receivers is stable and increasing.
