How do I become a Certified Forklift Operator?
Check with equipment rental or sales companies. There are several around Orlando. They should be able to point you in the right direction. There is also a large Publix distribution center near Orlando. They may also be able to help since they use forklift operators. As far as salary is concerned, I would expect you would start somewhere around $8-10/hr. Some of the union employers such as Publix may start people at a little higher salary. Your state employment office may also be able to help you find training and a position. I am sure that they have employers who have listings and should be able to give you an idea of starting wages.
