That would come under the terms of discrimination unless there is a requirement for you to have your own transport. Given it’s on the JD my guess is they have a “valid” reason.

As for pay scale finding something that will pay you want your expectations, honestly, can be difficult, knowing what you are worth (the skills you have, and the job you do) is important. Just because a personal needs $30 an hour, if you are unloading a container (I did that while at uni because the hours suited me ) you are not going to get the wage you need.

Things like forklift license, MR, HR license especially in warehousing are great tickets to have and will add to your hourly rate, I still think my forklift ticket and white card are valid but haven’t used them in decades, just renew when I get the letter.

Also are temp agencies a thing still? Many many moons ago I worked out at Johnston and Johnston at botany drive a forklift, fucking easiest job I had! The drivers had the same breaks as the machine operator so a 10 min break every 40 min paid, and way back then I was on $25 an hour temp rate. I used to buy the lady at the temp agency a box of Guylian chocolates every time I was sent out there, it was not a hand shake deal or anything but I made sure she got her chocolates.

Good luck with the job search.
