Where would I work?
Forklift/Tow Motor Operators are needed at warehouses and freight handling terminals across the country. You'll generally work an 8-hour shift, though longer shifts are also common in the trucking industry. At a company that operates 24 hours a day, you may be required to work through the night to ensure that the freight is loaded and the trucks can meet early morning delivery schedules.
Please note that workers in bonded/customs warehouse operations may require a criminal record check.
