Basic Warehouse Model

I'm a first time user, and have been tasked with creating a very basic warehouse model. I created the source with an arrival schedule, which populates a queue (inbound trailer). Forklift removes pallets from trailer to a staging lane, then another forklift removes them from staging to storage. Then the parts need to be picked into staging, then loaded into another queue (outbound truck). A couple things I'm having trouble with:

1. The staging lanes need to be full before they can be put away, but i'm having trouble writing in a rule for reaching maximum content.

2. I'm not sure how to initiate that the forklift needs to start picking a load to stage for outbound. The source is easy to add a schedule, but I'm not sure if i need to make the staging lane pull or how it should work.

3.Lastly, only 2 forklifts should run this operation, but I'm having trouble using them for the jobs interchangeably. They need to finish one job before starting the next and should be able to work any of the jobs.

Attached my current file, any assistant is much appreciated. Thank you!
