Port Driver / Warehouse Associate
Location: Houston, Texas
Position Summary
We are seeking a dependable and experienced Port Driver / Warehouse Associate to join our team in Houston, Texas. This is a dual-role position that combines container and port transportation responsibilities with hands-on warehouse operations.
The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years of professional driving experience, a valid TWIC Card, a clean driving record, and experience operating a forklift. This position requires someone who is safety-conscious, dependable, physically capable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in both a truck and warehouse environment.
When picking up containers at the Port of Houston, the driver will be responsible for safely and efficiently transporting loads back to our facility. When not making port pickups, the employee will assist with unloading containers of flooring material, organizing inventory, preparing customer orders, and other general warehouse responsibilities.

- Communicate with dispatch, warehouse personnel, and management regarding pickup status, delays, or issues.
- Inspect vehicle and equipment and report any maintenance or safety concerns.
- Follow all port, company, and transportation safety procedures.
- Maintain a clean and professional driving record.
Warehouse Responsibilities
- Unload containers of flooring material safely and efficiently.
- Operate a forklift to unload, move, and organize flooring products.
- Inspect incoming material for visible damage or discrepancies.

- Confirm shipment weights and dimensions.
- Properly strap, wrap, and secure outgoing orders.
- Confirm Bills of Lading (BOLs) and other shipping documentation for accuracy.
- Assist with loading trucks and preparing shipments for delivery.
- Maintain an organized, clean, and safe warehouse environment.
- Follow proper forklift, material-handling, and workplace safety procedures.
- Perform other warehouse and shipping duties as needed.
Qualifications
- Valid TWIC Card required.
- Minimum 2 years of professional driving experience required.
- Clean driving record.
- Valid driver's license and ability to meet all applicable driving requirements.
- Previous port, container, drayage, or freight experience strongly preferred.

- Ability to work on your feet and perform physical warehouse duties throughout the workday.
- Strong attention to detail when handling inventory, weights, dimensions, and shipping documents.
- Dependable attendance and strong work ethic.
- Ability to work independently while also being a team player.
- Must be safety-conscious and able to follow established procedures.
- Ability to communicate effectively with warehouse staff, drivers, customers, carriers, and management.
What We're Looking For
The successful candidate is someone who takes ownership of their work, shows up reliably, and understands that this position requires flexibility. Some days may involve more time at the Port, while other days may involve unloading containers, moving inventory, pulling orders, or preparing shipments in the warehouse.
We are looking for someone who is dependable, hardworking, safety-minded, and detail-oriented, with the ability to transition between driving and warehouse responsibilities as business needs require.
