Job description

Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment.

Headquartered in Atlanta, we’ve grown over the past decade from a two-person operation in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse to an organization supporting more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities.

We're trusted by some of the world's most recognized brands, but here's what really sets us apart:

  • we build careers, not just fill roles.
  • Many of our leaders started in entry-level positions and grew with us. This is a tight-knit team where leaders know you by name, your work creates visible impact every single day, and hard work gets rewarded with real opportunities.
  • If you're energized by challenge, want limitless growth potential, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, keep reading.

The Role:

  • As a Forklift Operator, you're the engine that powers everything we do.
  • You'll safely operate multiple types of equipment (sit-down, stand-up, reach) while loading, unloading, sorting, staging, and transporting products through our fast-moving operation.
  • This isn't a clock-in, clock-out job.
  • You'll be a problem-solver who takes ownership, adapts on the fly, and keeps our operation running smoothly when things get dynamic.
  • If you take pride in precision, thrive under pressure, and want your expertise to actually matter, this is your opportunity.

What You'll Earn:

  • $18-20/hour based on experience Competitive medical, dental, and vision plans Paid time off and company holidays Overtime opportunities You'll Thrive Here If You: Roll up your sleeves and stay hands-on when things get messy Run toward challenges instead of away from them Want to grow your career with a company that promotes from within Value being part of a small, high-energy team where everyone matters This Might Not Be For You If: You're looking for predictable, repetitive days You prefer a big corporate environment with layers of bureaucracy You're watching the clock instead of the work What You'll Be Responsible For: Unload palletized products from containers and trailers using forklifts and other material handling equipment.
  • Transport and put away product into assigned warehouse storage locations, ensuring proper placement and organization.
  • Retrieve and pick orders accurately from warehouse storage locations based on pick lists and customer requirements.
  • Safely load palletized product onto trailers and containers for outbound shipments.
  • Perform daily inspections and basic maintenance of forklifts to ensure safe operation.
  • Follow all company policies, standard operating procedures, and safety regulations to uphold a safe and compliant work environment.
  • Identify and report any product damage, equipment issues, or process concerns promptly.

What We're Looking For :

  • Proven experience as a forklift driver, preferably in a 3PL or logistics environment. 2+ years of experience operating a forklift.
  • Familiarity with palletized handling and transport.
  • Knowledge of warehouse safety practices and procedures.
  • Ability to operate forklifts and other warehouse machinery safely and efficiently.
  • Experience with RF scanning devices for inventory tracking and management Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Physical ability to lift and move heavy objects (up to 50 lbs).
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Ability to work in a fast-paced environment while meeting safety and quality expectations The Hiring Process:

  • We value your time and are committed to a streamlined, respectful hiring experience.
  • Candidates selected for further consideration will begin with a brief phone screen with a member of our HR team.
