Common questions
Is online forklift certification enough?
No. OSHA requires a practical evaluation of each operator in the workplace. Online classes can cover the classroom part, but someone still has to watch your operator drive your truck.
Does certification transfer from my last job?
Prior training counts toward the classroom portion, but each employer must evaluate the operator on its own equipment and site before they operate.
