When choosing warehouse labor, companies often compare lumper services with temp services. Both provide support, but they function very differently. Lumper services specialize in tasks like “unloading freight, breaking down pallets, sorting, staging, dock labor,” while temp services offer broad “general labor for any task.”
Why Lumper Service?
Frequently asked questions
Why would a warehouse even need a lumper service?
