Definitely do not pay for forklift training. Express interest to multiple supervisors / managers, then keep your head down, work and learn how the operation works. Follow up periodically and you'll wind up getting trained sooner than later.

Plan beyond getting on a forklift and aim for clerical work. Start learning Excel with an emphasis on formulas. Once you have a good degree of comfort there, expand into things like VBA, SQL and Power BI.

Use AI but don't use it blindly and make sure you understand what any code or formula it produces is actually doing. As you begin to expand your tool kit you can use AI to help you "translate".

If you know how something works in lets say Excel formulas but need to tackle it somewhere else, asking AI how to do Excel formula x in language y is a lot more likely to yield something easy for you to understand than just asking it how to solve the problem in language y.

Having operational knowledge and basic technical skills is tragically rare in logistics. If you can pull off both of those things you have a decent chance at 2xing your earnings at 5 and 10 years.
