If you are looking to join field of power industrial truck technicians, you certainly have the basic skills needed. I'm in total agreement with mrfixit in spending time as an in shop tech. This would be the place to learn about the seven classes of vehicles and the various brands. In addition you will need to sharpen your people skills, strengthen your knowledge of liquid propane and natural gas fuel systems along with basic electrics and electronics, and along with these be able to work in various nasty enviorments. The worst enemy you will encouter is yourself. Be willing to inprovise and adapt. Learn everything you can of the regulations and rules in regards to the various classes of vehicles. Acquire the knowledge of reading schematics, maps, blueprints and manuals. Learn and strengthen your skill and knowledge of hydraulic circuits and their operational principles. Acquire the knowledge to open and close work orders with your dispatcher, provide service repair narratives both written and verbal for a customer and submit the necessary paperwork for the time worked and the repairs completed in an accurate and timely manner being able to account for 100% of your paid time. These are but a few suggestion one can give to you.
