About The Position

Porter Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics (3PL) provider redefining modern warehousing and fulfillment. Headquartered in Atlanta, we’ve scaled over the past decade from a two-person operation in 10,000 square feet to more than 1 million square feet across multiple Georgia facilities, supporting high-volume, high-expectation customers across a range of industries. We’re excited to be expanding into Savannah, marking our first facility in the market. This new location represents a major milestone for Porter Logistics and offers a unique opportunity to help launch, shape, and grow operations from the ground up while being supported by an established, Atlanta-based organization. This is a tight-knit team where leaders know you by name, your work creates visible impact every single day, and hard work gets rewarded with real opportunities. If you're energized by challenge, want limitless growth potential, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, keep reading. The Role: As a Forklift Operator, you're the engine that powers everything we do.
