First, the receiving position is not guaranteed 40 but the workload always demands at least that.
My current stores dock is open 6a-12p Monday through Saturday but the location I was the primary receiver was 8a-12p M-F And I'll detail the routine I had there because it's probably more common for every other store.
To pick up hours, I helped flow before the dock opened, so on MWF I came in at 5:30a to prep and throw the truck. I also backstocked all the bulk (pipo paper, diapers, sterilite plastic, transition/stage)
