Summary

Cooperative Forklift Operator with 20 years of experience lifting and carrying heavy loads using warehouse equipment. Qualified to operate various classes of forklifts and practiced in wide range of heavy equipment. I am yard truck certified and have filled the position of Warehouse Lead B when needed. Talented problem-solver with strong ethics, integrity.

With 20 years of warehouse experience, I have worked every role possible. From line puller, loader/unloader, yard truck driver and warehouse Lead B. Though warehouse is my primary skill, I would very much like to branch out from it into a larger role. I'm a fast learner and self motivated. I work well with others, though I do work most efficiently on individual tasks. I am also very adept at multi tasking.
