@@patrickgregory7920 yes I won’t check the things I mentioned in this video first. Then from there it could be a number of other things that it could be.

@@SonoraSlinger you’re welcome and good luck with your interview.

@@Corey-w7f 3pm

Bet I have my interview tomorrow

Basic as hell. I went online, paid $60 and spent a couple hours watching videos and taking tests. If you don't pass, you can take it over and over until you do. It's that simple.

@@bzo757 no they’ll let anybody get on one

@@LifeJourneys_TH-cam thanks bro I have an interview today .. great videos by the way 🫡🫡

@@bzo757 good luck and don’t over think it. Trust me it’s easier than it looks.

Ok, I have a few points for you that will disput what you said, since I have a valid opinion, and I work in a warehouse with these safety mechanisms. First off, the "alarm" or the "beeping" that goes off when going forwards and backwards is for safety. Its so that other people that are not the forklift drivers can hear that the forklift is heading their direction. Second of all, it HAS to be as loud as you are led to believe it is (which is nowhere near deafening), because it is within a warehouse, that is quite big, and where the aisles can be quite long. Again, to ensure the safety of others that are working within the warehouse. Lights do not do much at all, especially going around blind corners, which Sams club and Costco both have. We are not defeaned by the beeping, and if we were, we have ear plugs, but again, due to safety reasons, especially since operating a 9 THOUSAND pound machine, it would be dangerous to wear those earplugs. Simply speaking, it is a job, and if you cannot do your job, and if something as little as beeping will deafen you, you are not fit to work within the warehouse industry.

@@cedricwu9167 I don't have time to write a book here, but I started in warehouses when I was 18 yrs old. I'm 53 now, so I've seen a lot. No offence, but you sound young by the way you write. Are you in your early twenties? I've worked in buildings with machines with backup alarms that were not safe at all. It's all about the operator and a safety culture that's enforced. My company now has about 80 pieces of MHE in a 540,000 sq ft facility and only TWO have backup alarms (and we were given them from another facility so we can't remove the alarms as they are stock equipment), and it's the safest building I've ever worked in. You do not need them. Come talk to me if you are still working there in your 50s and maybe you'll change my mind. Oh, and I choose to wear earplugs when I drive one of those two machines, and that doesn't make it unsafe either. I'm not trying to be a dick, but trust me, you're hearing doesn't last forever. I was obviously exaggerating about going deaf, but loud noise over time can give you tinnitus, which I have (also from rock concerts when I was younger). Alarms on machines where you have full visibility in one direction are not needed. Too much noise is just ignored and perceived as background noise, that's why those lights on the floor were introduced (as well as to reduce operator fatigue). Guess I wrote a bit of a book after all, as I'm pretty passionate about this. Warehouse jobs are generally uneducated, low skill work, and I hate to say it, but we are treated as much, so it's important to advocate for yourself.

@@Acheron.426you absolutely cannot depend on a “safety culture” as every single warehouse in the world all have different cultures, hell even different departments within those warehouses have different cultures. Back up alarms again are one of those safety issues that if you didn’t have, there would be more injuries. I can understand where you are coming from, but to me, it is better to have those alarms than just a red light that you may not see in time, as most of the times, people are not staring at the ground while walking. Within my warehouse, it is common knowledge that you hear a forklift, you give way to it, and one of those hearing aids is the alarm. When there is a forklift approaching you from behind, would you immediately look down to see where it’s coming from, as you suppose the red lights would work like? Sure, it can be read as background noise, but to most new people who has just gotten hired, it’s so much safer to have the alarms. Costco and Sam’s constantly are hiring, so removing those alarms makes it that much unsafe, which relates back to the culture, in which new people don’t even know about. Back up alarms are there for a reason, if it was useless, what would the point be? If companies knew that, then wouldn’t they just get redundant?

It’s the same at our store. They’re just trying to avoid from paying drivers please don’t let them finesse you. Remember it pays an additional $2

@@LifeJourneys_TH-cam I’ll remember that 👀

No I’m no longer on the road. Thank you stay blessed as well

Yes but without being on the forklift.

No there’s no preference.

@@Mike420X I’m at $17.51

​@@LifeJourneys_TH-cam17.51 kinda low . If you don't mind me ask what state your in ??

It’s ridiculous how we are getting paid. But I stay in Alabama.

@@RedWhiBlu sounds good hopefully corporate can help fix some of these issues because we’re going to go crazy over here with how much freight they’re forcing on us.

Trust me, it ain’t just you guys, corporate, and the purchasers went a little overboard after YBM, and every club is jam packed right now.
