Mr. Terrell Banks

Warehouse Manager

Mid-South Grocery Distribution

Subject: Application for Order Filler

Dear Mr. Banks,

Scanning every case and checking each label against the order keeps my pick accuracy at 99.6% while I pick about 180 cases an hour. I am applying for the Order Filler job at Mid-South Grocery Distribution.

At Loosahatchie Grocery Distribution I pick in both a cooler and a dry goods warehouse. I rotate stock by date code, and expired product returns fell by 20% over a year. Trucks get loaded in reverse stop order, so the last stop's freight goes on first and the first stop's freight is waiting at the door. I was named top picker of the month in March 2025.

Mid-South serves independent grocers, and I spent two years on the other end of that delivery, stocking the dairy and frozen aisles overnight at Riverbend Market before the doors opened. I know what a short or wrong case means for the person filling the shelf. The new frozen section suits me too, since I already work cold and dry picks on the same shift. You ask for an order filler who will operate pallet jacks safely: I am certified on an electric pallet jack, re-evaluated this year, with no safety incidents in three years, and I block off and report spills and damaged pallets straight away.

Give me a trial shift in your cooler, and you can check my rate and accuracy on your own scanners. Nights, days and weekends all work for me.

Sincerely,

Andre Jefferson

Paragraph by paragraph

  1. The opening

    Starts: “Scanning every case and checking each label…”

    Leads with the two numbers a warehouse manager measures pickers by, and how the writer gets them, then names the job plainly.

  2. Your strongest evidence

    Starts: “At Loosahatchie Grocery Distribution I pick in…”

    Answers the cooler, rotation and truck loading lines, with loading described the right way round, and adds an award with its date.

  3. Why this employer

    Starts: “Mid-South serves independent grocers, and I spent…”

    Gives a reason tied to who the company serves and its new frozen section, and answers the pallet jack line in the advert's own words.

  4. The close

    Starts: “Give me a trial shift in your…”

    Offers the test warehouses already use and answers the shift question before it is asked.

Why this letter works

  • Rate and accuracy appear together, with the scanning habit that holds them.
  • Truck loading is described correctly, which a warehouse manager will notice.
  • The writer's store years become a reason to care about this company's customers.
  • The close offers a trial shift and full availability.

How to write your own stocker and order filler cover letter

  1. Put your cases per hour and your accuracy in the same sentence.
  2. Describe route loading correctly: the last stop goes on first.
  3. Name your powered equipment certification and when it was last re-evaluated.
  4. Use store or shelf experience to show you know where the freight ends up.
  5. Tell the manager which shifts you can work.

Common questions

What numbers matter most in an order filler letter?

Cases or lines per hour and pick accuracy. Give both, and one sentence on how you keep accuracy up at speed.

How should I describe loading trucks to a route?

Say you load in reverse stop order, so the last stop goes on first and each driver unloads in order. Getting this right shows real experience.

Does past grocery store work help in a warehouse letter?

Yes, when the warehouse supplies stores. It shows you know what a wrong or short case costs at the other end.
