Sunrise starts your shift at 5:00 a.m. You’ll run a quick equipment check, hop on a forklift or order picker, and start moving tires and auto parts to where they’re needed. Scanners in hand, you’ll put away inbound product, pull orders with accuracy, and help keep inventory tight. Racks rise up to 25 feet, and you’ll operate safely at height, teaming up or using mechanical assists for commercial tires. When the last order ships, you’ll tidy your aisle and prep for tomorrow. Most days you’ll wrap by 1:30 p.m.—and when business demands more, you’ll stay until the work is done, including rotating Saturdays.
