What do you load, and what type of equipment do you use?

I'm not really sure. I have training next week. However, I have to work this Saturday, so I'm not sure how I'm working before getting trained, but I guess I am.

I must have missed this post before.

If you're a seasonal employee (temp) then you probably won't have to use any equipment.  You have to get trained and certified for each type and they don't usually bother unless someone is going to stay on.  Full time employees will use the forklifts to load.  

Training is mostly safety stuff.  Blocking off aisles when someone is using a forklift, walking ahead of a machine to keep customers from getting squished (seriously they WILL walk RIGHT OUT IN FRONT of a loaded forklift)--stuff like that.  

At our store, Loaders went where they were needed.  You might get called to help out at the lumberyard, then called up front to load some home interior stuff, then called out to L&G to help hand-load 200 landscaping stones into someone's pickup truck.  Between that, managers might have you help out associates by stacking inventory or something.  Prepare to sweat.
