- I started there through a temp agency and got full time in a picking department and after a year I made it to heavy equipment operator. I learned how to drive a sit down fork truck, stand up fork truck, reach truck, turret truck and a walkie rider. But, honestly, I learned the walkie rider and never really used it.
