Job DescriptionJob DescriptionNight Shift Truck Loader
Location: Salem Warehouse
Starting Pay: $17.00/hour
Schedule: Monday–Thursday
Shift: 5:00 PM until work is completed
Work Hard. Stay Active. Be Part of the Team That Keeps Everything Moving.
If you like staying busy, working with a solid team, and ending your shift knowing you accomplished something, this may be the job for you!
Layman Distributing is looking for dependable, hard-working Night Shift Truck Loaders to join our Salem warehouse team. Our loaders play a critical role in our operation: they take the orders prepared by our warehouse team and build the delivery trucks that will serve our customers the next day.
This is not a slow-paced warehouse job. It is active, physical work in a fast-moving environment. You will lift, stack, organize, palletize, and load product throughout your shift. The work can be demanding, but for someone who enjoys working hard, staying active, and being part of a team, it can also be incredibly rewarding.
What You'll Do
As a Night Shift Truck Loader, you'll help make sure every delivery truck is loaded accurately, safely, and ready to roll.
Your responsibilities will include:
Hand-stacking plastic totes, cardboard boxes, beverage cases, and other products into delivery trucks
Building stable, organized loads that protect product and make deliveries easier for our drivers
Following established load plans and route sequences so products are loaded in the correct order
Palletizing product and using automated equipment to securely wrap pallets
Moving and loading pallets using powered pallet jacks
Checking loads for accuracy and helping catch problems before trucks leave the warehouse
Adjusting as orders, routes, and priorities change throughout the night
Working closely with order selectors, supervisors, drivers, and other members of the warehouse team
Keeping the loading area clean, organized, and safe
Following company safety procedures and equipment guidelines
What we need is someone who:
Shows up reliably and is ready to work
Takes pride in doing a job correctly
Likes being active instead of sitting behind a desk
Can work at a steady pace throughout the shift
Pays attention to details, even when things get busy
Can think through a problem instead of waiting for someone else to solve it
Works well independently but understands that warehouse success is a team effort
Communicates when something doesn't look right
Takes safety seriously
Is willing to learn
Previous warehouse, truck-loading, distribution, or powered pallet jack experience is helpful, but not required.
This Is a Physical Job
We want applicants to know what to expect before they join the team.
Truck loading requires frequent:
Lifting and carrying
Bending and reaching
Stacking and organizing cases and totes
Pushing and pulling product
Standing and walking throughout the shift
Moving cases, totes, and pallets repeatedly
Working inside and around delivery trucks
You must be able to safely perform the physical duties of the position throughout the workday.
Stay Active
If sitting at a desk all day sounds miserable, this job will keep you moving.
Your Work Matters
The trucks you load tonight become the deliveries our customers depend on tomorrow. The warehouse cannot finish its night until the loading team gets the job done.
Learn Valuable Warehouse Skills
Gain experience with truck loading, pallet building, powered warehouse equipment, route sequencing, inventory handling, and distribution operations.
Opportunities to Grow
Strong employees can build experience for additional opportunities within warehouse, transportation, logistics, and other areas of Layman Distributing.
Be Part of a Team
Loading trucks is demanding work, and nobody gets through a busy night alone. Our operation depends on people communicating, helping each other, and getting the job finished together.
