The first half of my day typically consists of driving a 26 ft box truck and delivering items such as piping and plumbing materials. Once my routes are completed for the day I assist in the warehouse by pulling and preparing customer orders for the upcoming days.

While working at Kaanway my days/nights consisted of driving a 26ft box truck and delivering orders to Amazon warehouses or postal offices. As I arrived at my location I’d use a hand or electric pallet jack to remove pallets and deliver them where I was instructed to by the company.

During my time at utilimaster I worked at the assembly line where I would build various box trucks. While doing this work, I had to be very attentive, making sure all the right pieces went where they belonged on the build of the trucks. I handled tools such as plasma cutter and a grinder, we would install doors on the trucks as well. I also had to work cooperatively with my coworkers to ensure we were constantly on the same page working as a team to properly set things up for buildings and finishing our work in a timely

manner. From time to time, I would also assist other departments, which could include sorting pieces,

handling forklift, brining materials to the correct department etc. I was able to grow during my time at utilimaster and expand my skills both personal and professional.

At H&F my main role consisted of driving a box truck to different areas near Lancaster area including York County, Brownstown, Marietta, Mount Joy, GAP and a number of other locations. My box truck was loaded with tires from the shop that I would deliver to different locations who purchased from H&F tires. I would be consistently driving 5-6 hours at a time but when orders were slow, I would be assisting in the warehouse filled with tires. I would have to sort them out, pull tires out for following day orders, assist with any work that may have been behind at the main desk.

My time at Tait towers consisted of building stages for events. I did a lot of heavy lifting, working with tools, screws, nails, large pallets, working as a team with my coworkers to effectively communicate and assure we were constantly on the same page with each build. Our roles required us to consistently practice safety measure to avoid injuries. During my time here I was able to effectively expand my warehouse worker skills and grow to understand intense laborious work.

Coming freshly out of high school with my experience from CTC Brownstown campus I was able to fulfill a mill worker position with brubaker kitchen woodwork where I was able to build further onto my woodworking knowledge. Throughout my time I did a lot of observation and training. My tasks included but were not limited to sanding, operating a saw, screw in hardware, work with rough lumber and running wood through a machine down to the width.
