Want to Take the Wheel and Master Forklifts While Keeping Trailers Moving?

Hop into the driver’s seat as a Forklift Operator and become the powerhouse of the warehouse! You’ll be loading and unloading trailers and picking items with precision using box clamps, single and double forks, and standard sit-down forklifts—handling machines bigger than your average 5K lift, so your experience really matters. This role is perfect for someone who’s dependable, can take the lead with minimal direction, rolls with changes on the fly, loves the details, and thrives when the pace heats up. Reporting directly to the site supervisor, you’ll be a full-time, hands-on mover and shaker, jumping between multiple locations to keep operations and trailer flow running smoothly and efficiently. This is a full time, non-exempt, hourly position.
