Warehouse Training

The Dot Foods warehouse can be a great place to start or grow your career. And even if you’ve never operated a forklift or wrapped a pallet before, we’ll teach you everything you need to know. You’ll be cruising our warehouse floor comfortably and confidently in no time flat.

If you can bring a willingness to work and a can-do attitude to our team, you’ll fit right in.

Welcome aboard! Your first week will be spent in the classroom learning a little more about Dot Foods and our industry. We’ll also cover the basic rules and policies to keep you safe on the warehouse floor.

During your second week, you’ll shadow and work side-by-side with a warehouse trainer. Little by little, you’ll learn how to operate the machinery and start learning the layout of the warehouse floor. Our goal is to give you some variety and a full understanding of the warehouse process.

During this time, your trainer will be available for questions, but they will not be hovering over your shoulder all day long. The goal of this stint of the training period is to learn by doing. Right now, you’re learning how to complete the job as safely and as accurately as possible.

We have a 12-week training program to get you comfortable with every aspect of the material handler role. At the end of the 12 weeks, the goal is to have you be successfully released from the program and operate completely independently in the warehouse. Of course if you ever need assistance, your trainers are never always happy to help.
