Our Warehousers schedule their work in three shifts that cover the 24-hour period of a day, every day, seven days a week. The workload is broken into four distinct, overlapping applications: receiving, warehousing, inventory control and order pulling/shipping. The VV staff works at a constant pace to move the food that comes in starting in the late afternoon and through the night. We receive, on average, 70 pallets of fresh fruits and vegetables every night of the week; this translates into 20,000 packages a week. The majority of this product spends only 8 to 10 hours in our warehouse before it is shipped on to our customers.
