I’ve got warehouse experience (mostly in a driver role — moving inventory, equipment, etc.), and I’m trying to land a full-time warehouse job.

I’ve applied to places like Amazon and other bigger companies, but it’s been frustrating. Either I get no response, or my application just sits there with no updates.

I’m not new to this kind of work, so I’m confused about what I’m doing wrong.

For people already working in warehouses:

How did you actually get hired? Online apps feel like a black hole.

Do referrals matter that much?

Are temp/staffing agencies the better way in?

Are there certain companies that actually respond or hire faster?

Any advice would help.
