Daily Responsibilities and Work Environment
The Cargo Handler/Non-Driver role at FedEx Canada focuses on loading and unloading freight, as well as scanning and sorting packages in a physical warehouse setting.
Part-time hours make this role manageable for individuals needing flexible work. The afternoon shifts run Monday to Friday, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, ideal for students or those seeking supplemental income.
Applicants need to be comfortable lifting up to 70 lbs and maneuvering items as heavy as 150 lbs (with proper equipment). Physical stamina and attention to safety are a must.

Cons of the Position
The physical demands can be challenging, requiring continual lifting and moving of heavy packages.
Shifts are set in the late afternoon, which may restrict those looking for morning or daytime hours.
