Pay & Benefits
We keep it competitive and we're honest about it. Pay, time off, and benefits get walked through when we sit down together, matched to your experience and what you bring.
Schedule
Standard yard hours: Monday–Friday 7:00 AM–5:00 PM, Saturday 7:30 AM–12:00 PM. Earlier starts when a big delivery is going out at first light. Closed Sundays. Longer days when storm season or new-construction season runs hot, usually known a day or more ahead.
Key Duties
Load and unload trucks safely and accurately. Pull orders from the racks and stage them for delivery or will-call pickup. Operate forklifts (standup, sit-down, Moffett piggyback) per training and certification. Help walk-in customers identify product and load it into trucks and trailers. Keep the yard organized: restock returns, rotate weather-sensitive product, and flag damaged loads to the office. Maintain a clean, safe yard: housekeeping matters here. Coordinate with inside sales and dispatch on order priorities and delivery sequencing.
Physical Requirements
Routinely lift, carry, and handle 50+ lbs; occasional 75–100 lb lifts with a partner or fork. Stand and walk for the full shift. Work outdoors in Tennessee summer heat and winter cold. Climb on and off equipment safely. Steel-toe boots required. Personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection, high-vis when needed) provided.
Experience We're Looking For
Lumber yard, building supply, big-box retail freight, warehouse, or moving/logistics experience all transfer well. Forklift experience is a strong plus. The non-negotiables are reliability, attention to detail, willingness to learn the product, and the kind of customer instinct that keeps a walk-in shopper from feeling lost in a yard full of materials.
Requirements
18 or older. Valid driver's license and clean MVR (you'll occasionally move trucks around the yard). Drug test and background check. Willingness to be cross-trained on multiple pieces of yard equipment. Comfortable being part of a small team where everyone knows your name.
