A day in this role
You clock in and begin with a thorough equipment check. Tires, forks, hydraulics—everything is inspected before you power up. Your first task: stage pallets for outbound orders, coordinating with receiving to clear a dock door for incoming freight. You load and unload trailers with precision, verify counts against pick lists, and update inventory in the system. Between moves, you help reorganize stock for better flow, secure loads, and communicate with teammates to keep the pace humming. Any issue—strange noise, worn chain, blocked aisle—gets flagged and resolved. You end the shift by parking equipment safely and logging maintenance notes.

- Operate forklifts to move, locate, and relocate materials efficiently and safely.
- Load and unload trailers, containers, and flatbeds.

What makes you successful
