Overview

Rosedale Transport consists of 11 terminals within Canada and the USA.
Mississauga is the Head Office for Canada. The company specializes in the
transportation of flooring products. About 75% of the freight transported by Rosedale
is comprised of flooring products with the balance being general freight. In addition,
Rosedale handles and transports approximately 5% TDG (Transport Dangerous
Goods).
• Typically shipments arrive daily from Quebec and the USA. Trailers are stripped,
labeled and freight is stored. Load sheets comprised of customer deliveries are
created and given to the warehouse. Trailers are then loaded using this
information.
• Most Dock Associates work in pairs. One checks the freight on and off of trailers
while the other operates the lift truck. New Associates shouldn’t expect to operate
lift trucks for 3 months are more. During this time (training period) the new
Associate will learn the procedures of the warehouse.
• Hand bombing is expected on a regular basis. In the event a large hand- bomb
load arrives, example, a full load of under-pad, it is likely the entire crew will stop
what they are doing to help out. Smaller shipments will be dealt with individually.
• Attendance is imperative! Bottom line, all associates are required to be on time
all the time unless there is a legitimate reason for their absence.
• Reliable means of transportation is required. For those using public
transportation serious consideration should be put into your decision before
accepting the position. Rosedale Transport will not accommodate early
departures due to bus schedules, etc., as it is not fair to the team.
• Rosedale promotes within – many Associates have moved through the ranks.
You are in control of your destiny.
