You have to be sure forklift driver is what you want because being a forklift driver has changed now the have computers on them and not only are you a forklift driver you are a order puller so you are jumping on and off of the fork lift it’s not just picking up and loading and unloading any more so make sure you if you are in this situation that you get compensated for doing both jobs

Most companies do train you upon entry because each company has different requirements. Some companies require a year or more experience

You first need knowledge of operating a forklift the do's and don'ts the basics really and once employed there's certain things you may need to learn as far as in scanning staging different Warehouse functions but they we'll teach you their process and their way of doing things the minimum experience is least one year but the more experienced the better chance of getting employment
