Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
Fake
Nah
At the end of preload, the building is practically empty. The remaining sups for drivers leave to get lunch. I can see the building being empty. We had a guy drive the forklift into the wall near our mechanics, when he backed up, he went forward a second time, into the wall lol, he didn't get fired and they still let the guy drive the forklift. Same employee will slam the irreg carts into the poles. He is still employed. The fact that you left a note, tells mgt you weren't hiding the damage. I can't see you not getting your job back. Over the years the only employees I've seen not get their jobs back is when they didn't tell anyone.
I drove those carts in the hub I worked at. I never tried to turn too close to the poles that I'd hit them. Until one day when the biggest hardass I ever worked for told me to do it. So I turned around in an area that was way too tight. He just stared at me. Didn't say nothing. Neither did I.
But I was thinking it. "I wouldn't have tried to do that if you didn't tell me to, I know there's not enough room."

I drove one at Old Dominion Frieght line in the afternoons as a second job when I was working preload. It ain’t that hard. One lever makes it go forward and backward, one lever raises the forks up and down. Plus this is UPS. If it makes sense it ain’t happening

Oh yeah, I definitely used to use a forklift. We just don’t even have them here except for maintenance. More of a freight thing.

Maybe the OP needs to read this to realize how screwed you can get by not being careful with that equipment
I guess im using this, this right now as im typing,as a coping mechanism. Today at work a forklift driver took a wrong turn too quickly and severed a womans left leg. Her screams i cant get out. It was like an animal in pain, a zebra in the jaws of lion. Crying in agony. Many people rushed over to the loading area all while people where already surrounding the poor woman yelling to call an ambulance. Building manager told everyone to give them some space and to get something to stop the bleeding. She was still screaming. I went over out of curiosity. Her leg was on the floor next to her hip as she fallen on the ground. It wasnt severed cleanly ,a thick chunk of her skin was exposed with yellow bone marrow and fat gushing out. It was horrible. Everyone who was there in the working area was granted pay for the whole day and they could go home.
Accident happened at work today. Im still processing what i saw

Yellow fat sounds legit... Femoral artery, you have less than a minute to put on a tourniquet, and I doubt they had anything that would work. Belts don't work very well... They break, and require constant hard pressure to make it tight enough, and that causes the injured party incredible pain on top of what they're already shrieking about...
So, without an accompanying news article, I'm skeptical.

This whole thread makes me wonder if UPS has a Circle of Honor for our forklift drivers…

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
Sounded fishy
Maybe they get stickers instead of patches??? A pal sticker with a star on it perhaps

I think my old building only had 1 forklift. Automotive and maintenance would fight over it constantly.

Well, it is Reddit so always take it with a grain of salt.
I read that Reddit post a month ago then I saw this guys thread and re-remembered it.
Seems like the poster was from Compton, CA hub, by the info in his previous posts.

I scoured the hub and I may have seen the dried up blood stains. I tried asking people about it and they didn’t know. The forklift drivers all drive with their forks up and haul ass still. If it really did happen there people don’t pay attention and try to work fast for no reason. As a former forklift driver the guy was aWell, it is Reddit so always take it with a grain of salt.
