Lucky fucker. I got trained in the "learn as you go method." More or less my training teacher was like "here is how you turn it on, up and down, forwards and back. Now let see how you do with water heaters and cast iron bathtubs." So far, I've destroyed 5 gates, one bathtub, and countless wing stacks. Everything else came in broken. I like to think that I am average when it comes to the Home Depot equipment.
Did that stupid job for a couple years in my early twenties, when I was dumb enough to work in retail. Other than the pay and the moron employee's that made up the vast majority of the people that worked there. I think only 4 of the lazy goofballz on the night crew even had their osha license, so I got to do it all. Reach, order pick, forklift, slip sheet. What a gay job. Mid-level, micro management hell for $10 an hour.
I'm from the olden days before training, safety, harnesses or any of that. we did have a guy go up in on of those pickers and left the pallet he was bringing up on the floor and stepped off and fell 10 feet. he never came back to work. we had to hook up after that. this was around 1980.
I drove the ground level ones where you stand in front and look sideways. It was my shoulders that took the beating driving those. I have a video on my channel
@@fastfoodcritic4353 I made 15 an hour. Getting over a grand per paycheck. It is okay work when you are young, but don't get stuck in a warehouse all your life.
@@scepticalaim very heavy inventory that has to be stocked mostly by hand, half ass managers and leads, lazy employees, favoritism, low pay, you know the basics
This is absolutely nothing. I’m serious to death. The place im working at has a narrow aisles, very narrow aisles. Not an easy job. I wish OSHA coms to warehouse very often then normally. Thay would find so much reason to punish companies where forklift is operating all day long. So much guys operating forklift without any knowledge or training. No experience at all.

Learn as you go is good for cashiers and the like but you can see the results of teaching that way with motorized equipment
I would say you’re lucky my trainer didn’t even tell me nothing he just said figure it yourself and then throws a tantrum when I mess up

Many Big box stores suck when it comes to training.
Yea same with me it’s crazy fr
Huge respects for Martinez because driving an OP backwards can be difficult especially in tight places
Andy was the man!
Did it when putting up fridges, washers dryers you’ll be on it once you master it🤙🏼

Alright Andy now hit that 300/h quota!!
Y'all are lucky. I don't have an aisle that wide in my whole THD store. Would've been nice when I was learning to drive the machines.
We're at 1064.... Bakersfield CA. Were you at?
I used to drive one of those at Ashley Furniture, picking orders .20 feet in the air grabbing sofas, mattresses ..etc
I freaking loved it! We had a great night crew and the order picker was the cats pajamas
Mario Andretti Martinez 🤣🤣🤣
I never got this, I was given a 30 min instruction video(for a regular lift) and a 10 true false test. Then handed keys and told to pick orders
Same lol, watched a few videos and that same day I started, I was allowed to drive the pit
@@joshheathers8554 was it hard ? I’m thinking of applying for a order puller
@dmandagoat it's easy ,just gotta be quick at it.i did it at Ashley Furniture
Love they Canadian accents
I drive this at a warehouse i work at... after 5 days a week of 12 hour shifts your back starts to hurt...
Boi, they had a whole safety thing on how to pick up a heavy box. just change the way you do it.. well at least amazon does XD
I start in two day doing that job. I bodybuild so my letting won’t bother me but how do you keep from shore back?

Driving the OP is fun!
Bryan Tuck you work for THD?
yeah it is. especially when you're up in the air.
Do all that with a full load and traffic and on like 3hrs of sleep omg I was so good at this shit and my loads never had an error..
Driving the OP is alright, but I much prefer running the reach. What store are you guys at?
