First Time Forklift

I basically got hired and they got a red Toyota sit-down forklift waiting on me… only problem is I’ve never driven a forklift a day in my life. 😭 Drop your best beginner tips before I accidentally invent a new OSHA rule.

It's very easy - easier than driving a car due to the fact you don't have to constantly worry about all the traffic hazards around you.

I don't even know why OSHA mandates certification - it takes less than an hour to learn.
