What You'll Actually Be Doing
Most days you're running a sit-down, stand-up, or reach truck to move product around a warehouse or distribution floor. That means staging pallets, loading and unloading trailers, and keeping product organized so orders go out on time. You'll also handle cycle counts and put-away work, plus a quick pre-shift inspection of your equipment before you start moving. Safety checks aren't optional — they're part of every shift, every time.
Pay, Certification, and Shift Options
A current forklift certification is a real advantage here, since it's often the difference between the $16 starting rate and the $17.20 top end. If you don't have one yet, some employers in the Cumming area will train and certify the right person on the job. Shifts open up across different times of day depending on the employer's operation, and openings change daily, so check the current list above for what's live right now. Roles come in short-term, longer-term, and direct-hire setups, giving you options depending on what fits your life right now.
