Logistics: onboarding drivers and warehouse staff legally

Driver licences, CPC cards, forklift certificates. What has to be recognised before the first shift and what can be arranged afterwards.

Logistics: onboarding drivers and warehouse staff legally

Logistics is the sector where a qualification problem is discovered latest - often on the first morning, at the gate.

Before the first shift

  • Driving licence recognition or exchange, depending on the country of issue.
  • Driver qualification card for professional transport.
  • Medical examination, where the role requires it.

Can be arranged after arrival

  • Internal forklift and pallet truck training.
  • Warehouse management system training.
  • Health and safety induction.

The distinction matters: the first list decides whether a worker can legally start, the second only decides how quickly they become productive.
