Job description

If you want a forklift job that keeps you busy and moving, then this is it! If you are looking for a forklift job where you stay in the forklift the majority of the time, then this would not be a good fit.

This position is responsible for placing and pulling pallets as needed within the warehouse. It requires safely operating the forklift without causing damage to the products or the shelves.

As one of the largest privately-owned food service distributors in the Midwest, our family owned company has a history of building strong relationships. If you are interested in joining an innovative, supportive, values-driven company, we invite you to consider a career with Cash-Wa Distributing!
