When you join Saltbox, you're not just joining a company, you're helping real small business owners in your own backyard succeed. We're scaling something new at Saltbox, and the earliest shift is where it starts. This location runs a dock sorting operation that unloads, presorts, scans, and dispatches thousands of packages before most people are awake, and we need reliable people to run it.

As a Dock Sortation Specialist, you're the execution engine of the early dock. You unload inbound freight, presort packages by batch and market, scan every item into a handheld device, and stage sorted loads so drivers roll out on time. Your job is to keep the early dock moving: unloading, presorting, and staging packages before sunrise so every load is scanned, sorted, and dispatched on time.

This shift clears the biggest bottleneck in the operation, inbound unload and presort. Getting it right is how this site grows from processing 5 to 6 thousand packages a day to 8 thousand without missing a dispatch window. You'll be on the ground floor of a function we're building out, and the crew that runs it well sets the standard every other location follows.

What the job looks like Your shift starts at 3:00am. You'll unload inbound freight, presort it by batch and market, and scan each package into the Sort App on a handheld device. From 3:00am to 8:00am the focus is getting everything sorted and staged; from 8:00am the focus shifts to dispatch as drivers pick up their loads.

It's physical, fast, detail-driven work with a small, tight crew, and when the packages are out the door your shift is done, usually a 5 to 6 hour day. What you will own Inbound unload presort Unload inbound freight at the start of your shift and stage it for sorting, keeping the dock clear and organized as volume comes in. Presort packages by batch and market so the sort line moves without backups.

Flag damaged, mislabeled, or missing packages to the Lead the moment you spot them.
