It's a simple question. Don't over think it.
I have driven a forklift as well as a Big Joe and a scissor lift.
Back when Wal-Mart hung bikes from the ceiling that was one of my jobs and let me tell you...It's pretty fucking scary up there.

Forklift, no.
That didn't stop Walmart from having me drive one.
Although I did get certified for Big Joe and power pallet jacks.

It was a welcome break from the usual bullshit
Neither for forklifts nor Larlar
When the cops showed up at his house a few days later they found about $20,000 worth of freon, tools, and other stuff that guy had been stealing lol
Good man. Do crime.
Dude was a scumbag for many other reasons, but for that he'll be my hero.
Also, the company never pressed charges. I guess they didn't want that sort of publicity lol
I finished my tenure without having been trained on either, because I did not need the hassle and none of my managers gave enough of a shit to make me.
Where are you?
You can post
I would not describe my posts as practical or skillful
What department did you work in? I started in outside garden so there was no way I was going to avoid it.
The first thing my trainer told me was that one of the easiest steps you could take towards getting fired was being PE certified. Left an impression on me.
Later I ended up being one of the trainers myself. The selection process of which is: you've driven for over a year and aren't a fuck-up, grats, you're a trainer now.
Then I moved to paint, where everything had to be depalletized and hauled up a ladder. So the only times people ever remembered that I hadn't done my training was when I was helping in other departments.
Most days I watched over the self checkouts which meant lots of stuff probably got stolen because I didn’t give a fuck
One pallet of smashed cans and a few toppled pallets of kegs, and I'm pretty decent at the forklift now.
The drive wheel just spinning in the air, doing nothing.
But I eventually managed to wiggle it in such a way that it got a grip on the ledge and pulled itself up.
Immediately after that another guy came in, saw that I was on the truck without the connector ramp and gave a little clap, then pulled the ramp up for me.
you know, I should get around to finishing this
Ah, there were only two full time associates in outside garden at my first store and only one of them was certified. Of course one of the first things I moved out there was a pallet of bagged river rock with broken slats. I couldn't get my forks all the way under it and ended up snapping the pallet in half trying to lift it from it's perch three bays up. The rest of my shift was cleaning up the mess.
That's just self checkout tradition.
Fair bit of fun though, taking one up fourty feet.
Keep your distance from the eviscerator then
