i did mine in few hours. I’m confident I don’t know everything yet. Which is good because I don’t ever want to become displacement. I don’t want to get too cocky. Spending any more money on “school” won’t help. Because really you just need to know and under the basics. Once you got the basics it’s just about getting real experiences. All new jobs should have a training supervisor regardless of certification. Unless they already know you’re a veteran.

I never had any formal training to drive a forklift. I told them in the interview I'd never used a forklift and they said we'll train you its fine. Team lead spent an hour or so with me driving through some cones and moving around empty pallets and after all that just said take it as slow as you need to until you get comfortable. After a week I pretty much had it down. Its just as easy if not easier than driving a car you really don't need paid training from some company.

Classes/courses? Wow! It doesn't take rocket science to understand how to operate a forklift, as long as you use common sense (which may not be as common as I think), always put safety first at all times and take things slowly (at least at first, if not always). I got tested and certified the first time they offered it, and I am still certified and operating after 2 years.

@@sensaitv5683 if you are looking to make more money, then I would say welding. Welding tends to make more money than forklifting. If you just want a job right now, then go forklifting. Check the job postings. As long as you have graduated high school, you should be able to get a forklift job rather easier than a welder job. Usually the employer can and does train you on a forklift. They could also train you for welding, but you might want to get your welding certificate/diploma from a technical/community college before you apply. That should make it easier to get a job. Both jobs should be rather easy to get, especially with a good attitude and work ethic. Good luck.

@ chris gast That's the government for you, buddy! They try to make things as complex and convoluted as possible. As a tour bus/highway motorcoach driver I hold a Class 2 CDL here in Canada (That's a class B in the US I think?), and you should see how convoluted the rules and regulations are for the National Safety Code pertaining to on-duty/off-duty hours. When I was going to CDL school it took my instructor a good two years before he could confidently work the electronic logs and have a good grasp at what he was doing.

This forklift licensing company told me that they don't have a facility for me to train in. In order for them to start the training, I need to let my employers know if I could use their facility so I could do the training there for my external forklift license. It's so awkward because that's where I get my internal license from, and if they find out that I'm getting an external license then the next question that will certainly come into their mind would be; Why are you getting an external forklift license? Are you looking for another job? From here, they will soon find a replacement for you. You get your license but you lose your current job. This could be a possible scenario. What are your thoughts?
@TheSafetyStandard
2 жыл бұрын
The certificate provided by any training provider can help the job seeking process. But no matter if you have an internal/external certificate, the employer still has the responsibility to train you. Certification (not license) is more of a proof of completion than a certification. The employer needs to prove you were trained to be safe in their environment and on their equipment.

I had never been on a forklift in my life 9 years ago. The boss tested me by asking me to take a pallet with 1600 pounds off the 16 foot shelf, drive it backwards to the end of a 1/2 mile warehouse, drive forewords back to her and put the 1600 pound pallet back on the 16 foot shelf. It went flawlessly and I am still working there. :)

"There it is." she said while pointing at the forklift. Now you know the rest of the story. I won the bet too. :)

Do some companies send you to a course or maybe on-the-job training kind of deal? I’ve got a wife and plan on buying some land to build a house. I’ve heard forklifting can pay well and they’re always needed.

Garrison Gregg yes, forklifting jobs can pay very well but don’t expect that pay as a rookie driver. I don’t know where you live but in a good rookie warehousing job, expect to make around 10-12 an hour to start. If a company has a safety coordinator, odds are that would be the guy that would give you the test and DON’T fall for the forklift schooling scams out there. Every company can certify you without the need of some schooling. So if the supervisor is a good one, he/she will usually baby step you on the machines. Give you a few weeks of practice and doing very minor jobs while you’re learning the machine and then you’ll get tested once they feel you’re comfortable on the machine.
