Warehouse & Distribution Staffing in Johnson City
Freight doesn't wait, so we don't either. Appalachian Labor puts loaders, pickers, packers, and certified forklift operators on your dock in Johnson City the same day you call. A real person answers when you do.

Order Fulfillment (Pick, Pack & Ship)
Orders out the door, accurate and fast. Pickers, RF-scanner associates, packers, and e-commerce fulfillment hands.
Forklift & Powered Equipment
Certified operators for every lift. Sit-down, stand-up reach, cherry picker, clamp, turret, and yard jockey.
