    FedEx Freight uses electric pallet jacks. Guys just grab one when they know they have heavy freight that day to move to the tail at places that don’t have docks. We have 3 with 9 city drivers. Never had an issue if I needed to use one.

    Florida. If I see moffett work here it’s 6-7 days a week, or they want drivers who don’t speak English.

    Grocery jobs like Lidil/Aldis/Food4less/Ralphs etc use electric pallet jacks. All you do is move the loads into the dry, reefer and frozen section in the back of stores and pick up back haul and reload your trailer again for the next route from the DC
