Los Angeles Forklift Certification
OSHA-Compliant Online Training for Greater Los Angeles
The Los Angeles basin and Inland Empire form the largest logistics market in North America. The Ports of LA and Long Beach handle 40% of all US containerized imports, while the Inland Empire’s endless rows of distribution centers support the nation’s supply chain. Certified forklift operators across this 13-million person mega-region command some of the highest wages in the country.
From unloading containers at the nation’s busiest port complex to stocking fulfillment centers in the Inland Empire, forklift operators are the backbone of Southern California’s logistics economy. California’s higher minimum wage and cost of living translate to premium pay rates, with experienced operators at port terminals and cold storage facilities earning well above the national average.
