  • Nothing crazy just me learning how to Drive the EPJ or Sled for Costco at night. Its been so fun learning. Like I said I am sorry that I didn't get much clips because when I am at work I work and my camera is the last thing that I want to worry about. Also my General Manager and Assistant General Managers looked this video over and gave me the okay to post. Hope you guys enjoy and if y'all have any questions lmk. :)

    Epj and forklift certified at Costco here. This is the most fun job, I've ever had. Can be hard, and dangerous, but sooo much fun!😎

      It'll be my fourth job and I'm only 19, and I'm hella excited and nervous at the same time.

    When taking out a depot, separate your items. That way everything that is in hardlines and foods is actually in their respective main isles. It helps when hanging the depot so we’re not going across the warehouse to foods to get a pallet that is supposed to be in hardlines. Also, I don’t think Costco condones recording while working. I got a couple buddies that got written up for it.

      thanks for the tips I agree organizing before running it out would be much more eaiser. And as for recording I talked it over with my general manager before making the video and he along with my AGMS agreed that it was okay, with some rules regarding the content of the video of course.. and oh yea!! that's crazy I think If I just stared recording without asking it would of been a problem so its a good think I had a sit down meetingg with them before hand!! :)

    At my Costco 90% of the forklift drivers don't know how to drive the EPJ for some reason. I'm one the only ones lo know how to drive it and it's awesome!

      Hey congrats!! I just got full time assistant too!! And yess its fun it feels like I am riding dirt bike 😂 I’m not sure how your warehouse is but my managers are open to hearing my opinions so if someone says they wanna learn they will try there best to try and help them get there. We are also really short staffed so that could be why LOL but congrats !!

      oo yea I know what you mean I think the ultimate reason why I trained before some of the night merch guys is because I applied for the cross training and got It. Also at my warehouse I was talking to some of the guys on why they didn't train earlier since they have all been there for so long and they just said that they never wanted to.....

    Wow never thought I would find a video of how we do Night Merch for Costco. Forklift driver here #1353 Loves Park, IL. I prefer mornings much more since we drive more in the mornings then nights. Members can be a pain to deal with.

    Hi, just wondering how do Costco offload a big square cube carton pallet from the truck to the warehouse, as they don’t have wooden/plastic pallet on the bottoms. Do they use slip sheet or do they just forklift the whole thing up? Normally two cube pallet are stack together and nothing is in between. Thx

    So I work at costco and I've started driving the epj and today I had to drop off in produce and it was super hard to see forks first into the aisle since I had 4 pallets. Any tips on driving forward when you have a tall load?

    • @PrincessRatchet
      @PrincessRatchet  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      sorry kinda late but what I do is I look on both sides but mostly on the side that I am on when I am driving if I get closer to that side that im on where I can see more easy then I am most likely clear on the other side double check tho!!

    • @racekrasser7869
      @racekrasser7869 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      pay attention to how the load is sitting when you pick it up, when you turn in make sure you pay attention that the area is clear. Other than that, use your horn to make sure some idiot doesnt walk in front of you and just go forward slow while looking at both sides. Get off and look if you need to.

    • @NoticedMar
      @NoticedMar 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you can’t see forks first & you can’t go in in reverse see if you can get someone to guide you away from any area of impact & ofc horn safety
