DSC Logistics is looking for 140 forklift drivers to work at its Allentown, Pennsylvania, site to handle increased business volumes.

DSC's 21-hectare complex handles inbound and outbound shipments, warehousing, fulfillment, and transportation for companies including Kellogg's, Georgia-Pacific and Nestle.

DSC chief executive Ann Drake said the 140 positions were for all shifts, and those employed would operate stand-up and sit-down forklifts, slip-sheet and clamp attachments, pallet jacks, and other power equipment for moving, locating, stacking, and counting merchandise.

Ms Drake said the new employees would increase DSC's Allentown workforce by almost 50 percent.
