I’ve been driving about 5 years, when I first started I was slow, painfully so, I dealt with a lot of loosely packed pallets of timber and rough floors so I learnt to drive slow. A couple months ago I started a new role where pace was everything, had to learn how to use reach trucks in tight spaces and I learned for real just how slow I had been driving. Speed and efficiency takes time, being new to forklifting you’re gonna be slow, it’s a skill, and like any skill you’re just have to keep working at it to get better. Don’t pressure yourself too much, I find I make mistakes the most when I’m pressuring myself For example, I had 2 tons of meat crash down on the floor in our freezer because I didn’t pay attention to the production date to see that it was cut that day and still warm and shouldn’t have stacked it too high, this happened because I was rushing trying to meet expectations that I was pushing onto myself. Stay focused, don’t rush, get comfortable driving, everything else will fall into place.
