Derrick Lindsey
@derricklindsey
I am an experienced warehouse and logistics operator skilled in forklift, order picking, and customer-facing sales.
What I'm looking for
I am a hands-on warehouse and customer-service professional with experience operating reach trucks and forklifts, order picking, palletizing, shipping, and retail sales. I have held roles across distribution, retail, and food-service environments.
My work history includes unloading and loading trailers, wrapping finished goods for shipment, preparing orders, and using FedEx/UPS shipping systems. I have performed cold-food prep, laundry and housekeeping, and in-store sales and promotions.
I bring strong communication, organizational and negotiation skills, plus hands-on experience with inventory handling, data entry, and trailer loading. I hold a valid driver's license and reliably meet productivity and safety expectations.
I am authorized to work in the U.S., willing to relocate, and eager to contribute to a team-focused logistics or warehouse operation that values safety, steady performance, and opportunities for cross-training.
