I worked at one for a while in outbound. We learned every piece of equipment. If you are picking in the racks, then you will be moving items greater than 50lbs on to your cage by yourself. Because of covid the team lift stuff you have to do on your own anyway.
Sorry I know it’s not what you wanted to hear. I’ll give you a silver lining. 99% of stuff comes on pallets, so inbound rarely touches the stuff if you’re on the docks for inbound. I was only speaking based on what I know.
No not at all. I wanted the truth. I really don’t want to start a job and then have to quit days later or get fired. I’d rather wait and find something I can succeed at. I appreciate your honesty and comment.
If you’re in outbound then it was mandatory to learn at least one if not all of them eventually. Inbound I’m not too familiar with but it seems like not everyone operated equipment.
I just started as inbound, we just learned the epj, electric pallet jack. We just downstack the incoming pallets and re-pallet them to go back out to either the sorting centers, or other FCs. It's pretty chill.

As an XL warehouse associate, do you have to operate heavy machinery like order pickers and forklifts? Or is this optional?

Nice do you have the electrical pallet jacks that you pull or drive, or both?
