My work keeps hiring people for night shift that have "previous experience" and they keep destroying the warehouse by smashing into the uprights and bending the rails in our bins. Why is this?

I'm doing a welding program at my local CC and I noticed that the degree plan actually includes a forklift class in the last semester. I'm kinda looking forward to it, seems fun.

It's not fun. Most forklifts are clapped the fuck out with shitty brakes and controls that barely work. They're extremely heavy and it doesn't take much effort to do a fuckload of damage or kill somebody or yourself.

I've seen bigger. I used to work in warehouses and DC's with 600+ doors.

I work in tech now, and the best job I ever had was being a forklift operator at Menards. Cool boss, cool coworkers, forklift driving is just inherently fun, and a bunch of 18-22 year old cashiers to flirt with.

because driving a forklift isn't actually that hard and any drunk retard could do it, it also happens to be some kind of point of pride or aspiration for the lower class to be a forklift driver so they all want to do it despite being drunken retards

Well yeah, doing it as a job wouldn't be fun, but doing a class with the school's well-maintained machines seems enjoyable. Fwiw I'm no stranger to dangerous machinery either and I know how to not be a retard.

I found it fun, like being a kid playing with a giant tonka toy again, but maybe you just gotta have a certain strain of autism to like it a lot

Forklifts are fun but rider pallet jacks are where its at. Had a warehouse picking gig with these, found a service manual online and turned em up for me and the boys.
