Help!!! I'm being forced to haul a unsecured forklift

I don't understand what the dilemma is. No means no. It's pretty sad that people today are so scared to lose their job that they won't stand up for themselves.

 

Yeah, I'm a bad member...double posting.

It's funny. Airline pilots have to go through much the same, inspection, securement and laws. When they deem a plane unsafe, for any reason, that plane doesn't move until the pilot is satisfied.

Here? We get fired and replaced...

 

Here is a good word you need to know as a driver.

NO.

 

Kinda like saying robbery was...a diplomatically negotiated financial transaction.

He's not wrong though. You aren't being truthfully forced. Even with a gun to your head you always have the option to say no.

 

I'm looking into going and becoming a commercial pilot myself. So it's nice to know someone who has been a pilot.

It however breaks my heart to hear that there are companies that act much the same as the bottom feeder companies here.

I've had my eyes on delta and a few of the large, very stable and reputable carriers.

Could be wrong, but isn't it largely a test of the pilot and their skill for storms? I understand things like turbulence are out of the pilot's control.

P.s. I don't wanna hijack. (much). But if you want to offer some hints and tips for when I get started it would be greatly appreciated.

On topic... Having a job of this nature is a pretty big deal. Dare I say it's a test of balls, intelligence, skill and who can cover their ### best. Do 3/4 and you're doing pretty good, do all 4 and you shouldn't ever be jobless.

 

Well, the securement points are built differently between types of trailers, and I pretty much never see 4 points of secureness on a pallet of peanuts or what have you. I better get on that...
