If you set up a series of Network Nodes and paths for the Forklift to drive on, you can have them drive to specific nodes. So if you set up a custom task sequence (I recommend doing this in Process Flow) you can have the Forklift Drive wherever you want. Here's a simple example:

You just drag and drop the NetNodes from the library onto the 3D model floor. Then holding the "a" key down, you can drag path connections between nodes. Finally you can connect the Forklift to the network by also using the "a" key connection.
