A warehouse worker cover letter with an opening from the warehouse floor, your certifications, accuracy and availability for shifts.

Re: Application for the warehouse worker position
Dear [Hiring manager's name],
On a busy night shift I pick about 180 orders, and last year my accuracy stayed at 99.8 percent. I take pride in orders going out right the first time. That is why I am applying for the warehouse associate position at [Company].
I have four years of warehouse experience at a food distributor and an e-commerce distribution center. I am certified on sit-down and stand-up forklifts and pallet jacks, work with an RF scanner every day, and train new associates during their first week.
Safety matters to me: I am the safety champion on my shift and have had no recordable incidents. I would bring that same care to your team.
I can work days, nights and weekends, and I am open to overtime during peak season.
I would be glad to come in for an interview or a site visit.
Best regards,
[Your name]
Orders per shift or accuracy shows right away what kind of worker you are.
Forklift and safety certifications belong in the letter too. They can decide who gets called.
Supervisors want people who keep themselves and others safe. One sentence is enough.
Say which shifts and how much overtime you can take on.
Your certifications, the tasks you do, one or two numbers like pick rate or accuracy, your safety record and your availability.
Mention physical jobs, reliability and any certifications you can get quickly, like OSHA 10. Show you are available for the shifts they need.
Yes, briefly, if the posting mentions them. A line like 'lift up to 50 pounds' answers the question right away.
Usually not, but a short letter can help for a lead or supervisor role. Keep it to three short paragraphs.
