when you're away from base, especially in more remote areas, you'll have to do everything it takes to get the load on. Totally different from working from a fixed base where you know everyone and are confident of the process.
Its simple enough to say that the load is not acceptable (pallet not loaded properly, nets with to big gaps, weight not spread out over pallets ), you need to fix it otherwise you're employer will find someone else who can and get the load ito its dest.
You also need to be creative in solving issues, not to mention have negotiating skills, this will help when dealing with loaders, shippers etc.
Be observant, a 5 ton pallet will move differently from a 2 ton pallet...this can save your skin one day.
You need to be well up to speed on your tie-down and shoring to identify problems. Freighters usually carried weird stuff and each needs to be analysed.
