Trades that are actually skilled

Grading a pallet in four seconds is a skill. So is fitting a companion stringer in fifty-five. So is finding the collection that turns an empty return leg into a paid one. None of it requires prior pallet experience and all of it takes months to get good at.

Open areas

Six places people join

We recruit continuously rather than posting and closing. If one of these is you, write — the timing usually works itself out.

Yard, Atlanta GA

Pallet grader

You will touch every pallet on your line and make one of three calls in about four seconds. It is a skill that takes months to build and it is the single most important judgement in the business. Full training; no prior experience assumed.

Repair shop, Atlanta GA

Repair shop technician

Board replacement, companion stringers, notch plugs and re-nailing. Ninety seconds of skilled work returning a $13 asset to service — the highest-return activity in the building, and we staff it that way.

Regional routes

CDL Class A driver

Scheduled routes with paired collections, not random despatch. Home most nights on regional lanes. Trailer drops and live loads, mostly at commercial docks with your own lift assist.

Heat treatment, Atlanta GA

Treatment chamber operator

Charge stacking for airflow, probe placement, temperature monitoring and record keeping to ISPM-15. Detail work where the record matters as much as the result.

Office, Atlanta GA

Logistics coordinator

Routing, backhaul pairing and customer scheduling. The job is finding the collection that turns an empty return leg into a paid one, over and over.

Office, Atlanta GA

Account coordinator

You read every enquiry that arrives and turn it into a specification and a quote. Written communication is the whole job — this company has no phone line by design.

A manual jack can only enter a notched stringer pallet from two sides. This is the moment that decides whether you needed block construction.

What it's like

Honestly

The yard is loud, it is outdoors under cover, and it is cold in January and hot in July. Forklifts move continuously. The work is physical and repetitive in the way that skilled manual work is repetitive — the same task, done thousands of times, where the difference between good and adequate is real and visible.

The office is small and everything happens in writing, which suits some people enormously and others not at all. There is no phone line, so nobody is on hold and nobody is on a headset.

What we are actually looking for, across every role, is attention. A grader who stops looking at notches is worse than no grader. A coordinator who does not read the whole enquiry costs a day. It is not a complicated business and it is an exacting one.

Questions

Before you write

Do I need experience with pallets?

No. Almost nobody arrives with it. Grading, repair and treatment are all trained on site, and the people who are best at them frequently came from unrelated trades. What we cannot train is showing up and paying attention.

What are the hours?

The yard runs 7:00am to 5:30pm Monday to Thursday, 7:00am to 4:00pm Friday, and a Saturday morning shift. Drivers run scheduled routes and are home most nights. Office roles run standard business hours Eastern.

How do I apply?

Email careers@palletsupplyusa.com with the role you are interested in and anything you want us to know. A CV is welcome and not required — tell us what you have done and what you are good at. A person reads every one.

Is there a path from the yard to the office?

Most of our coordinators started on a sort line or a repair bench, and it shows in the quality of the specifications they write. Someone who has graded ten thousand pallets can tell a customer what they actually need.

Do you hire drivers as well as yard and shop staff?

Yes — yard, shop, road and desk are the four ways in. Driving roles run scheduled regional routes rather than long-haul away-time, which is the main reason people move to us from over-the-road work.

How we hire

Five steps, no assessment centre

We recruit continuously rather than posting and closing, so the timing usually works itself out. The process is short because the job is learnable and the thing we are testing for shows up quickly.
  1. 01

    You write

    Email the role and anything you want us to know. A CV is welcome and not required. A person reads every one and replies, including to the people we cannot take on.

  2. 02

    A conversation

    Twenty minutes. What you have done, what you are good at, what you want. No competency framework, no situational questions.

  3. 03

    A morning on site

    Paid. You walk the yard or sit with a coordinator and see what the day actually looks like. Roughly one person in six decides it is not for them at this point, which is the whole purpose.

  4. 04

    A decision

    Within two working days of the site visit. If it is no, we say why.

  5. 05

    First month

    Paired with someone experienced. Nobody grades unsupervised in their first month, and nobody is expected to be fast before they are accurate.

What you would actually learn

The skills behind each role

None of this requires prior pallet experience. All of it takes months to get good at, which is the definition of a trade.

Conditions

Honestly

What we do not

  • A climate-controlled yard. It is cold in January and hot in July.
  • Quiet work. Forklifts move continuously through the shift.
  • Remote or hybrid options for yard and shop roles — the wood is here.
  • A large office. Everything happens in writing between a small number of people.
  • A career ladder with named rungs. Progression happens by becoming good at something and saying so.
  • Phone-based roles. There is no phone line, which suits some people and not others.
