Safety, a level head, and the ability to work efficiently.
Forklift Operator:
Understand that customer service and safety are top priority. Learning the product and where it is located is essential for job success. Learn the computer and go out of your way to watch a veteran in action. Effective communication with receiving is especially important to make sure you have the space for the freight coming in daily. Taking initiative on inquiring about freight is also a plus because it insures your success as an employee.
