Franklin Whalen
Buford
Summary
I entered the workforce in 8th grade and quickly discovered a strong passion for working. I began in a shipping warehouse, where I rapidly advanced into a position of responsibility. I operated both a Doosan stand-up forklift and a Toyota sit-down forklift to load and unload pallets from delivery trucks. In addition to equipment operation, I gained valuable experience using Fishbowl inventory software to manage and process orders. I also became familiar with the packing and shipping workflow, contributing to accurate and efficient order fulfillment in a fast-paced environment. My early start and hands-on experience developed my strong work ethic, reliability, and adaptability.
