Wymap deals with the movement of airfreight throughout Sydney airport freight terminals. Wymap operations team would advise me on which terminals to collect freight from and for which clients (DHL, Schenker, Fedex, Toll). The use of a PDA to track and process airwaybills to lodge at terminal counters and then lodged freight collected from inbound freight bays (finger docks, rear docks). I would also be advised to which client to collect outbound freight from to deliver to terminals. The movement of freight would consist of around 100t to and or from the airport a day. Freight would be palletised or loose carrying various freight to machinery, dangerous goods, perishables, vehicles ect. So following RTA load regulations and restraint guidelines was essential. Being a HC driver, I would drive a number of prime movers (e.g. Argosy, Actros, UD gk) and with a number of trailers up to 48 ft. tautliners for loose freight and flatbeds fitted with electric/engine chains used for air cargo containers and pallets. I would also drive the HR and MR trucks when required and use forklift to load/unload from clients when required.
