What is the average pay for a forklift driver?
depending on location throughout the US, it can be anywhere from 9.50 to about 40.00 dollars. But basic pay in the Midwest seems to be around 11 to 16 dollars depending on experience. Out west were the pay is more due to the cost of living, it is around 14 to about 20 dollars with raises and such through the years. I am not sure about the east coast or Central Mountain area but these seem to be the closest. And as for the 40 dollars an hour for the Midwest, it is being currently offered for loading and unloading cooling tubes and such for wide load and heavy duty trailers. So like I said, it depends on wear you live and your experience. Hope this helps.
