Why????
Has anyone on here ever wondred why forklift operators and bobcat operators always run the things like they are actually trying to tear them up.
Wide open up empty-Screech the brakes-Jab the pallet-Burn out backwards-Gone-and repeat... Leaving a trail of leaking oil and product.

I owned a used forklift dealership for 14 years (79-93) and it was the nearest thing to a license to steal I have ever had.

Lift truck mechanics adage: "THEY DON'T GET WELL BY THEMSELVES"

It is amazing that more people are not maimed or killed in warehouses than out on the roads.

i think fozzy is fuzzy, i have to disagree,with you on your discription, of the lard butts out there, i have 20 plus as over the road and must admit some of what you say i agree give me a pallet jack we are cool, but as you well know the grocery warehouses mostly do not play that way, the real concern here, is the fact, its not about lazy,( but there are some that way )its about are you as a driver COVERED if you get hurt on the recievers property, it is thier responsibility to offer you a safe enviorment in which to do thier work of off loading, i have been RUN OVER by a fork lift only to have to fight insurance company executives to be paid for my very serious injuries. that,s the concern of most importance here. i do respect your opinion, as well as others.but you must protect your familys, well being ( YOUR PAY CHECK ), HAVE A SUPER SAFE DAY FOZZY, and protect yourself while on a recievers dock, woodstock i approve this message lol

I hated going to the Bi-Lo Warehouse (now C&S Wholesale) in Mauldin, SC. I'm a company driver for a LTL carrier, but still didn't enjoy it. I did make a killing there though. My company would not pay for a lumper, so I always had to sort/segregate the pallets myself....most of the time the checker would unload my stuff for me if it was heavy since i was not allowed to use their electric ride on jacks. Sometimes 5 pallets would stay 5....sometimes 2 would become 100. It was good exercise, followed by clock riding b/c one checker would check 15 doors, followed by a late night.

i have gone to malden every week for 4yrs. if i put 30.00 in the checkers cigar box i did not touch anything, company paid me 150.00 to unload so i made 120.00 a week to go there, and breakfast was on them ha ha ha, you have to know how to get over on them, its kind of funny how you put in 30.00 and you do not touch anything but if you do not you have to handle everything. i delivered frozen pies and cakes to them. have a safe and super day WOODSTOCK

Shux Howdy!

I'd be willin' to split the take 75 -- 25 with any forker who'd
stage an industrial incident involving me and his forklift.

It's only illegal (ie a felony) if one gets caught.
Besides, I don't plan to "cheat" 'em.
NopE!
My plan includes gettin' run over for REAL.
Lights AND siren and don't stop for the red lights, driver.
I mean totally forked up
and down.

And the FIRST thang I plan to do with the money I receive is to
have my (slightly) faded, purple cape
re-dyed to ROYAL purple to cover my busted buttox.
Maybe with pearl white fringes all around the edges,
with matching stars.
Then, get a custom paint job, probably glistening metal-flake gold, with flames and pinstripes,
and install multiple chicken lights on my brand new, solar powered
Hover-Round electric wheelchair.

Never let it be said that I, Shakey AfterShock ain't the
REAL deal.
I never fake nuthin'.
Not even the blue Handicapped placard for my new
mode of transportation enabling my disabled bod to park
right up front, --- as soon as those who park there illegally
move their automobiles.
But, I figure I'll have all the time in the world to wait.
No more hot and/or J.I.T. loads for me.

Like Mick Jaggers, of the Rolling Stones sang -----
Time, It's On My Side.
Or ----------

You Can't Always Get What'cha Want
But, If You Try Sometime
You Just Might Find
You Get What'cha Need.

I'm thinkin' I'll be needin' a set of flashy mag wheels for my
Hover-Round. That'd look pretty cool.
And maybe a set of polished, stainless steel
straight stacks and a reclining Bostrom Air-Ride seat
with arm rests
and lumbar support.

OH!
And a Jake Brake.
You know, for those long down hill runs over the
Grapevine Grade and the Siskiyou Mountains up north.
I sure wouldn't wanna get bogged down on one of those
escape ramps.

BTW, do y'all think wearing a full-face
helmet would be goin' too far?
I'm thinkin' folks might think I'm a
space alien --- or one of them
illegal aliens
tryin' to take the jobs no American wants to do.
Hmmmmmmmm
Perhaps if I paint the helmet red, white and blue they'd know
I'm a bonafide citizen?
Then again, they might mistake me for
Captain America.
Which, now that I think about it,
wouldn't be a bad thang, considering his reputation.
Ya reckon.

Boxed meat: I delivered meat for a packer once. Quarters of beef (sharp bones) and 100 lb boxes of frozen boneless bull meat for the taco trade quickly move me to flatbed cotton.

Dry van-Kroger-Cincinnati, OH. Look up a post I made on here under:
Shippers and Receivers-Good or Bad / The Lumper Scam /Refused-Happiest Day of my Life / for my shrubbery hauling experience.

But then, we were driving for $75.00 wk flat plus expenses flatbed and $.05 (nickel) a loaded mile on the cattle. Wasn't really encouragement to drive it there and then unload it.
Look at all the good stuff that would buy back then.
