Do forklift drivers make good money?

Answer 1

Maybe in a really highly specialized capacity, but your average, run-of-the-mill forklift operator in a warehouse... it's not really that high of a skill, and capable operators are a dime a dozen. If you want to make money doing it, maybe something like getting a CDL and doing flat & fork work would pay decent.

Answer 2

Construction is always occuring, so I'm assuming that forklift jobs are usually in demand. According to JobHat.com, there are available forklift jobs in many states. I found quite a few listings in Ohio alone.

Answer 3

The majority of forklift drivers jobs are generally high paying due to the need for highly trained individuals. Any position which needs someone to be highly qualified for that particular position is usually going to pay more. Most forklift drivers can make a good living at their position.

Answer 4

Really depends on your experience and where you are looking to become a forklift operator. It could be as low as $25 or as high as $35 to start.
