Day two - forklift training, no trainer?

Had an extra long day today. Supervisor called in so instead of traing forklift station today, i was responsible for sweeping out trucks, stacking pallets, and weighing material for rags..warehouse work is fun, but my hip hurts . Oh getting old but luv what i do..

I sent a guy to just such a course 3 times before an instructor showed up. My guy had forklift training on a standard forklift but needed an extra course so he could run a narrow aisle forklift. Today I had him running a variable reach forklift and ignored the fact that he didn't have a ticket to run one.

@CloudAngel80 I have a number of women that run forklift on my jobs. Some of them are really good at it (like the men) and some are very bad at it (like the men)
