Forklift for dummies..lol

Day one: so my supervisor, was very un helpful in showing me safety first on a forklift! Bald tires, leaky propane tank, no side mirrors, half a blinker...and no rubber in windshield wipers, yeah she is a piece of work this run down beauty!
OSHA STANDARDS woukdnt pass her in a bumper cars match at a county fair..but ill call her BEAULA! BE ON THE LOOK OUT !
BEAULA is yellow and black like a bumble bee, but for my first day of 8 hrs, its fun, yet scary backing up ramps. Today was 3 broken pallets moved 150 feet, two empty pallets stacked upon each other, and a sideways pallet lifted up flat above the lifters forks...yep im really doing good, 30 minutes a day 5 days a week for 3 months...pretty soon ill be cutting cookies and lifting bales of cardboard, but for now a zero turn mower has more treads than BEAULA!
Tomorrow day 2, watch for BEAULA update!

I never got proper training when I drove a forklift. I had to get an instruction manual and study at home. That is something I needed to do to be successful

@urbancowboy Health and safety would be all over you like a rash if you tried that today.
