At 12 years old I drove a forklift. No big whoops. When I worked in a
pallet mill when 16-17 we all,drove forklifts. Did not require a forklift
license then.



Heh. I used to drive the two forklifts my business had sometimes. The
shop crew used to get a kick out of me buzzing around on them. Then,
one day, we had a site inspection by our insurance company. I was asked
if all the forklift operators were certified. That was the end of my
forklift driving career.


Interesting. I have never heard of that. Most of the operators I know
around here are Latino and barely speak english. They seem to be very
good with the machines tho. I did have an Anglo guy digging my septic
field but he was a school teacher who moonlighted as an operator using
rented equipment. I am sure none of them was certified by anyone.
When I rent machines, nobody asks me anything but how I will pay and
when I want it picked up.

....

You were renting them personally. When I worked in a factory 35 years
ago, I had to be certified to drive the forklifts. No big deal. Watch a
funny little movie and take a written test. All company time and payed for too


OSHA required.
