Stand-Up Forklift Specialist (Warehouse Logistics)

Step into a day on our warehouse floor

It’s 7:00 AM in Joliet, IL. You clock in for your full-time shift and perform a quick safety check on your stand-up forklift. Moments later, you’re navigating aisles with precision—using the Reach Truck to pull pallets, hopping onto the Cherry Picker for high-bay picks, and switching to the Electric Pallet Jack to stage outbound freight. Every move keeps product flowing from dock to destination. By week’s end, your pay—$18.00 to $20.00 per hour—hits your account right on schedule, weekly.
