.....it probably wasn't that deeply planned, but I don't care. That's such perfect shit-boss logic it's Head cannon.

That's for the truck drivers meeting, they will now have to pay to fill there own tanks on any (return)trip they are not carrying load, it has came to management's attention that fuel is being used for not hauling product.
I drove my personal vehicle for 2 years before I had the balls to ask my boss for gas money. As an electrical Apprentice driving all over town. Now I gotta get him 30 minutes a day to recoup my losses that should have been paid in the first place
I love how boss man denied that they were coming after the paychecks then proceeded to tell them about the electric system that literally deducts the cost of the tank from the employee's paycheck... 😂
Any time you hear bosses say ahead of an announcement we are not coming after your pay it will almost always be followed up with something that will cost you such as a increase in the price of benefits.

Our factory management team came after us for using too much flour in making a wafer. The batches are automatically dosed to comply with a standard recipe so if there's too much weight going in then it would be reliability/engineering not validating it or a supplier exaggerating the weight they give us. Unfortunately I'd forgotten the first rule of factory work: every fault is your problem and every problem is your fault.
* Because all the deliveries are delayed there's nothing to forklift. After the first part of the meeting, They had to have a Part 2 to tell the Truck drivers that the two tanks' worth of fuel rule applies to them too. (Even though the first part of the meeting said they had nothing to worry about, Lol)
The first shop I worked at had it's own 80 gallon propane tank and I'd just refill my can manually. Got the 80gal refilled every 4 months. But then for some stupid reason the boss wanted to waste the time of the propane service and have them top it off every 2 weeks. Then it turned into the truck calling me and asking if he should come out and me saying, "no, we have 3 months of propane left in the tank"
As forklift 429 manager, you should just change the rules for you to be able to run 7 tanks a week, that way you even got extra to take home to BBQ w/ on your one day off hoss!
During the 1930's in Detroit at the auto plants you weren't aloud to flush the toilet until someone checked to see if you took a shit. Seems like we're heading in that direction again.
Well to be far, a lot of people probably had not seen toilets before, so they would just stand there in awe, crowded around, watching the toilets flush.
sounds to me like bossman doing them a favor on the sly. he basically told them, make the 2 tanks last for the entire week. which, to me, means stop doing so much, slow down, take your time, take a break, let the next shift get it, disappear, take a longer lunch, you know, stop working so hard.
And managment's solution will probably be to buy more fork lifts and hire more drivers. Thus using as much propane if not more but keeping to the 2 tanks per week per driver rule. They'll then get a bonus form the board for having the most efficient drivers in the company. A few years later that same manger will over see closing all the warehouses and drop shipping from china because warehousing in the USA is just too expensive.
Here's what I think happened with those Hercu-Lifts and the propane: Somebody in Management decided they would "innovate" by giving those on the shop floor the option to use these things on TV. They then go and buy a job lot of the the things for a ridiculous markup without checking to see how much rhey actually retail for; have an "oh shit" moment when they realise how much of the company's money they just blew on glorified elastic bands and start thinking of how to cover their ass. They then hit on the idea: "If we charge them for using fuel, they'll be more likely to use these Hercu-Lifts, and I can say they weren't a waste of money. Genius!"
The only thing that those things are going to be used for, is to fling manure, used condoms, and rotten food into the open windows of the Manager's office
I love how at the end of every one of these when the boss actively harms the worker, he is left with no method to fight back against this class warfare but with violence.
The sad thing is this is how things used to be. Companies with unions let the workers talk things out with them to get smooth production. Companies without unions simply just murdered the crap out of the people in charge of the company until someone reasonable became in charge. The latter actually made a more efficient company, but those companies usually couldn't run on a large scale like ones with unions could. It was the influx of cheap labor that eventually done in all of the American industry.
@@CowToes The usa used to produce everything. literally! After ww2 every country was buying their stuff there (because their stuff was blown up). You'd have to blind not to see all the made in china, vietnam, japan, and etc crap. Or are you trying to claim the toilet paper industry is making up for the collapse in almost all of American manufacturing industry?
It is not a class warfare shit. They altering the contract without any consent from the counter-party. They put stipulations that are impossible to comply width. It is a legal problem that this is allowed. You might say that the rich are the only ones who can buy the courts and the lawmakers. While it is true, the corrupt judges and politicians are the problem. Once a corpo can break the rules or push trough bs like this, the others need to find a way to compete width the corrupt one. Want to solve the problem? Go to the judges that allowed this width that Uline. You get rid of the manager, another will take its place. You make an example of the judge? You will see change.
Seems like I’m relating with these videos more and more everyday 😂 like this morning we had a hour long meeting with our bosses about us not being efficient and how we don’t need to waste time.
@@vampiricagorist6979I sat in an hour long meeting that consisted of 45 minutes of a manager monologuing on who needed to be invited to the follow-up meeting. Did I complain? No, because I got a free 45 minutes in Air Conditioning.
@@ThaFuzzwoodwe don’t get paid to “pipe up” we’re paid to be at work and if they want to waste there hours on meetings who are we to interrupt that’s one of those big brain decisions only those imbued with the yellow vest could come up with.
I drive a forklift, one day someone ran out of gas on another truck and took the tank from mine. I refused to do anything until they made the guy who stole it go out in the snow and get me a new fresh tank.
One one of the best ones I’ve watched in a few weeks !! “ i know what you gonna say, some of these pallets weigh more than 300 pounds ,, double them up” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“We done some extensrif calcumations” yeah that sounds about right. 😂 It almost feels like he actually knows it’s bullshit and doesn’t want to do it but he’s getting a lot of pressure from above which puts him in a hard place. As a manager I’ve had discussions like that with my guys and hate every minute of it.
Ahhh! Another thing I can comment on! For context, I used to work in a third-party Amazon warehouse. I commented on another video about my experiences with that. But this is something else I can relate to as well. I didn't operate forklifts, but the warehouse I worked in had no HVAC. The only heating we had in the winter were these sunflower style heaters that you'd pop on propane tanks. The boss would conveniently "forget" to refill them and we often had to pool together money AND leave work (clocked out no less!) to get them refilled so we could, you know, not freeze to death? For reference it was commonly below freezing in the warehouse in the winter. I remember one day my boss came out of his heated office and was all "wow it doesn't feel too bad up here, this says it's 40 degrees!" Really? Your thermometer says 40 degrees? Then we must be in a thermodynamic anomaly, the laws of physics must cease to exist on this warehouse floor, because I'm staring at frozen water on the floor RIGHT NOW. What's really funny is, the guy had a HUGE propane tank with a massive heater. It was person sized and was designed to warm a very large area. You know what that one was used for? The shipping label printer. If it got too cold it just wouldn't work. This man bought an expensive heater, SOLELY to warm a printer. If any of us used it, we got in trouble. I remember one time my coworker was warming her hands with a hair dryer (we used them to remove stickers from inventory), and she got yelled at about the "electric bill".
Yeah, this guy sounds like he needs to get his business inspected by OSHA, get the department of labor involved. Assholes like this usually break more than one law at a time. I know you said you don’t work there anymore, but if you know someone that does, get them to do the right thing by collecting evidence and getting the place under investigation. Anyone that can sue for violating labor laws should absolutely sue. Assholes like that shouldn’t be allowed to operate a business, someone’s gotta hold them accountable.
@@marcusaurelius2013 Ahhh, he most definitely broke more than one law. It's been 10 years since I last worked there, but he would frequently "forget" to do payroll and he also refused to do direct deposit. So we would often not get our paychecks until 4 or 5 days later.
So true, last company I worked for I was running a Cat 336 loading trucks on a cut 10 hrs a day. Boss scheduled fuel delivery every other day and I’d be outta fuel by 9Am the next day and would get reamed out for being outta fuel.
My bosses always be like. " We've called together every bottom level employee for this mandatory 1 hour meeting about efficiency on the busiest day of the month to talk about how good you guys are doing, but we aren't doing enough and you need to step it up. Just step it up we know you can. Now we will be staying late to finish all of the work, but we need you to know, that we believe you can work as hard as you want. Its just mental, just motivation. Please, take this 50c pack of crackers on your way out, that should let you work twice as hard for the day. Also, we need you to come in early tomorrow, nother busy day. "
if that would me i probably would have been fired if not for cussing him out right then and there, then for refusing to work after the second tank XD cause you know there gonna be pissed
After the second tank, he gets to look at the pallets and practice the force training.... Until the next week comes around. We use electric forklifts at my place, way better.
@@markfreeman4727I’d still work. I’d just be down stacking and moving stuff on the pallets one by one. I’ll just spend more company money on lost efficiency and plastic wrap or pallet straps to resecure the pallets.
perfect time to have a recording device, as the moment they told you that you would have to buy items needed to work and it comes out of your paycheck. The labor department will be having a field day with them with the amount of major fines they will be getting hit with and thats if they dont then start looking into other violations they have been doing.
When companies hire outside experts it’s either to take away some health benefits or pay. “Hey boss we can’t breathe in the wearhouse” “well we hired experts that ran calcumalations on air quality and it’s fine, with that being said the company will no longer help you with the co-pay for asthma pumps”. “ but the air is brown” “ the experts said thats the sun shining through the water vapor”.
Stuff like that doesn't last long if the manager actually has to breath the same air. Or in this case, his boss would have to have had a large can of it placed in his office to put the point across... or I guess wait for legal ramifications to come up to make them fix things.
I was a chef for a 5 star resort in NY for two years . We served between 500 to 800 people twice a day. I did breakfast and lunch. We were so short staffed al the hot cooks were doing 3 people's stations at once every day yet we had meetings like this all the time about how we could do more and use less hand towels and gloves. 😆😭😆😭
@@Hk121394 not only that but when your cooking burning hot pans on the stove or in the oven you really need hand towels so you don't burn the shit out of yourself. We got burned all the time with lack of towels and that hotel made about 3 million a week yet we had to beg for the right supplies and then get scolded for using them. It was a mess.
Dayum. So never mind how they made beaucoup $$$ on serving that many heads, but God forbid they gotta spend a couple extra bucks on gloves and towels. Sheesh. What butt smooching manager made THAT call? Haha.
I worked at a restaurant with a head chef from France. His rule was 'you get issued two towels per shift. Dry one on the oven handle while using the other one'. We used to get stacks of them and hide them in the ceiling tiles so we'd have fresh ones so as not to burn the hell out of ourselves.
@@inibrius5380 I did the same thing. We had piles hidden everywhere. But sometimes we didn't get new ones for a week and we ended up using one dirty beat up towel for the last 2 days.
Figure out the boss’ employee number. Share it with every other fork lift driver. Or, the lock on the cage for the propane tanks mysteriously starts breaking.
Many many years ago, I worked at a place that I won’t mention (3:36) that management debated, whether or not to charge employees for propane tanks. I hear they use all electric now
I've said it before, I'll say it again. People are on edge, frustrated and angry at life, and as things get worse, people are going to get more and more desperate. I foresee managers like this having a very short and violent lifespan within the next few years if things don't start to improve.
Nah, people will just take it like they always have been. Nothing will change. You can't afford not to work, even if the work doesn't give you 40 hours and more than $10 an hour. People will stay complacent and just bend over for their bosses because they have to. It's why they're winning and we aren't. People are too addicted to their phones and streaming services. Gotta get that fix, have to pay for it somehow.
No! Because the perpetrator will go to jail AND everyone else will also have something taken from them. IT will be all punishment and no reward until the job gets outsourced to another country, or given to an illegal immigrant working under the table.
FL operator: *uses less throttle to save propaine* Manager: "We need to talk about your productivity" *shows him a binder with pictures of tasks and the "average time each takes"*
On god, if a company I work for EVER tries to rope the drivers into a warehouse meeting, I'ma just turn the "mandatory" point right back on them. Because you know what's more mandatory than a meeting? Pre-trip inspection
Next week boss man gonna be complaining "too many work place injures, you need to work out more, here's a free gym membership that the company pays for with your money" and "Boss's birthday free pizza party, if you get him a gift over 20$ or work 8 hours Saturday no clocking in, attendance mandatory "
I know it's difficult to do with you being both the characters but can we please get a video where the forklift driver beats the manager with a baseball bat and goes to another job?
That Hercilift may be able to carry 300 pounds. But it cant carry the boss mans balls for coming to a meeting with that crap. I would of hit the door before he finished and went to the labor board

@@CowToes The usa used to produce everything. literally! After ww2 every country was buying their stuff there (because their stuff was blown up). You'd have to blind not to see all the made in china, vietnam, japan, and etc crap. Or are you trying to claim the toilet paper industry is making up for the collapse in almost all of American manufacturing industry?
Thats the only way you deal with Tyrants. They dont stop by running away, complying, or asking nicely, after all.
It is not a class warfare shit. They altering the contract without any consent from the counter-party. They put stipulations that are impossible to comply width. It is a legal problem that this is allowed.
You might say that the rich are the only ones who can buy the courts and the lawmakers.
While it is true, the corrupt judges and politicians are the problem. Once a corpo can break the rules or push trough bs like this, the others need to find a way to compete width the corrupt one.
Want to solve the problem? Go to the judges that allowed this width that Uline. You get rid of the manager, another will take its place. You make an example of the judge? You will see change.
All forklifts used 2 tanks and got Parked against the manager’s office door 😁
Block traffic with it. Pallet high in air.
Seems like I’m relating with these videos more and more everyday 😂 like this morning we had a hour long meeting with our bosses about us not being efficient and how we don’t need to waste time.
And noone piped up how this meeting is wasting time?
Cause we all know there dam meeting are a waste of time.
@@ThaFuzzwoodWhy would you turn down free money. If management wants to pay us to listen to them complain, then let em.
@@vampiricagorist6979I sat in an hour long meeting that consisted of 45 minutes of a manager monologuing on who needed to be invited to the follow-up meeting. Did I complain? No, because I got a free 45 minutes in Air Conditioning.
@@ThaFuzzwoodwe don’t get paid to “pipe up” we’re paid to be at work and if they want to waste there hours on meetings who are we to interrupt that’s one of those big brain decisions only those imbued with the yellow vest could come up with.
It's scary how much he sounds like my boss when he's fed up with me interrupting meeting with questions...
I drive a forklift, one day someone ran out of gas on another truck and took the tank from mine. I refused to do anything until they made the guy who stole it go out in the snow and get me a new fresh tank.
Want to ruin the managers day? Tell them youre going to have to run this buy your lawyer and see if it passes the sniff test.
One one of the best ones I’ve watched in a few weeks !!
“ i know what you gonna say, some of these pallets weigh more than 300 pounds ,, double them up”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“We done some extensrif calcumations” yeah that sounds about right. 😂
It almost feels like he actually knows it’s bullshit and doesn’t want to do it but he’s getting a lot of pressure from above which puts him in a hard place. As a manager I’ve had discussions like that with my guys and hate every minute of it.
The fact that you call them "Discussions" implies you're already leaps and bounds past this guy at the job.
Ahhh! Another thing I can comment on! For context, I used to work in a third-party Amazon warehouse. I commented on another video about my experiences with that. But this is something else I can relate to as well.
I didn't operate forklifts, but the warehouse I worked in had no HVAC. The only heating we had in the winter were these sunflower style heaters that you'd pop on propane tanks. The boss would conveniently "forget" to refill them and we often had to pool together money AND leave work (clocked out no less!) to get them refilled so we could, you know, not freeze to death?
For reference it was commonly below freezing in the warehouse in the winter. I remember one day my boss came out of his heated office and was all "wow it doesn't feel too bad up here, this says it's 40 degrees!" Really? Your thermometer says 40 degrees? Then we must be in a thermodynamic anomaly, the laws of physics must cease to exist on this warehouse floor, because I'm staring at frozen water on the floor RIGHT NOW.
What's really funny is, the guy had a HUGE propane tank with a massive heater. It was person sized and was designed to warm a very large area. You know what that one was used for? The shipping label printer. If it got too cold it just wouldn't work. This man bought an expensive heater, SOLELY to warm a printer. If any of us used it, we got in trouble. I remember one time my coworker was warming her hands with a hair dryer (we used them to remove stickers from inventory), and she got yelled at about the "electric bill".
you dont own a coat? dress for the condition I work outside in sub zero conditions every winter
Yeah, this guy sounds like he needs to get his business inspected by OSHA, get the department of labor involved. Assholes like this usually break more than one law at a time. I know you said you don’t work there anymore, but if you know someone that does, get them to do the right thing by collecting evidence and getting the place under investigation. Anyone that can sue for violating labor laws should absolutely sue. Assholes like that shouldn’t be allowed to operate a business, someone’s gotta hold them accountable.
@@marcusaurelius2013 Ahhh, he most definitely broke more than one law. It's been 10 years since I last worked there, but he would frequently "forget" to do payroll and he also refused to do direct deposit. So we would often not get our paychecks until 4 or 5 days later.
That’s when you prop open the door to his office whenever he leaves and if you can also crank up the thermostat as well.
@@imchris5000hows them boots taste
So true, last company I worked for I was running a Cat 336 loading trucks on a cut 10 hrs a day. Boss scheduled fuel delivery every other day and I’d be outta fuel by 9Am the next day and would get reamed out for being outta fuel.
My bosses always be like. " We've called together every bottom level employee for this mandatory 1 hour meeting about efficiency on the busiest day of the month to talk about how good you guys are doing, but we aren't doing enough and you need to step it up. Just step it up we know you can. Now we will be staying late to finish all of the work, but we need you to know, that we believe you can work as hard as you want. Its just mental, just motivation. Please, take this 50c pack of crackers on your way out, that should let you work twice as hard for the day. Also, we need you to come in early tomorrow, nother busy day. "
Sounds like my boss... even though I work retail.
Fast fix. Everyone uses the manager’s employee number to get their tanks.
So after my second tank is done I'm out for the week.
Facts
if that would me i probably would have been fired
if not for cussing him out right then and there, then for refusing to work after the second tank XD cause you know there gonna be pissed
Hahaha. Biscuits is always the joker. Steal a pallet jack off a probie, or grab a push broom.
After the second tank, he gets to look at the pallets and practice the force training.... Until the next week comes around.
We use electric forklifts at my place, way better.
@@markfreeman4727I’d still work. I’d just be down stacking and moving stuff on the pallets one by one. I’ll just spend more company money on lost efficiency and plastic wrap or pallet straps to resecure the pallets.
3rd option y'all can rent a palletjack at hourly rate.
perfect time to have a recording device, as the moment they told you that you would have to buy items needed to work and it comes out of your paycheck. The labor department will be having a field day with them with the amount of major fines they will be getting hit with and thats if they dont then start looking into other violations they have been doing.
I can't wait for the day he makes a video about management getting absolutely reemed by the labour department
Time to contact the labor board!😊
At this point you're like days of our lives for people that can't bend with their knees anymore. And man I love this show.
When companies hire outside experts it’s either to take away some health benefits or pay. “Hey boss we can’t breathe in the wearhouse” “well we hired experts that ran calcumalations on air quality and it’s fine, with that being said the company will no longer help you with the co-pay for asthma pumps”. “ but the air is brown” “ the experts said thats the sun shining through the water vapor”.
Stuff like that doesn't last long if the manager actually has to breath the same air. Or in this case, his boss would have to have had a large can of it placed in his office to put the point across... or I guess wait for legal ramifications to come up to make them fix things.
I was a chef for a 5 star resort in NY for two years . We served between 500 to 800 people twice a day. I did breakfast and lunch. We were so short staffed al the hot cooks were doing 3 people's stations at once every day yet we had meetings like this all the time about how we could do more and use less hand towels and gloves. 😆😭😆😭
That's a hygiene issue. They could get in trouble if a someone got sick
@@Hk121394 not only that but when your cooking burning hot pans on the stove or in the oven you really need hand towels so you don't burn the shit out of yourself. We got burned all the time with lack of towels and that hotel made about 3 million a week yet we had to beg for the right supplies and then get scolded for using them. It was a mess.
Dayum. So never mind how they made beaucoup $$$ on serving that many heads, but God forbid they gotta spend a couple extra bucks on gloves and towels. Sheesh. What butt smooching manager made THAT call? Haha.
I worked at a restaurant with a head chef from France. His rule was 'you get issued two towels per shift. Dry one on the oven handle while using the other one'. We used to get stacks of them and hide them in the ceiling tiles so we'd have fresh ones so as not to burn the hell out of ourselves.
@@inibrius5380 I did the same thing. We had piles hidden everywhere. But sometimes we didn't get new ones for a week and we ended up using one dirty beat up towel for the last 2 days.
Figure out the boss’ employee number. Share it with every other fork lift driver. Or, the lock on the cage for the propane tanks mysteriously starts breaking.
Many many years ago, I worked at a place that I won’t mention (3:36) that management debated, whether or not to charge employees for propane tanks. I hear they use all electric now
When dude came out with option 2.. hercu-lift... i started rollin yo 😂😂😂😂
Forklift certified
I've said it before, I'll say it again. People are on edge, frustrated and angry at life, and as things get worse, people are going to get more and more desperate. I foresee managers like this having a very short and violent lifespan within the next few years if things don't start to improve.
Nah, people will just take it like they always have been. Nothing will change. You can't afford not to work, even if the work doesn't give you 40 hours and more than $10 an hour. People will stay complacent and just bend over for their bosses because they have to. It's why they're winning and we aren't. People are too addicted to their phones and streaming services. Gotta get that fix, have to pay for it somehow.
No! Because the perpetrator will go to jail AND everyone else will also have something taken from them. IT will be all punishment and no reward until the job gets outsourced to another country, or given to an illegal immigrant working under the table.
@cujoedaman Well of course it'll stay the same with that attitude
BOSS man still bothered by loosing his daughters VIRTUAL Husky!!!! LMFAO!!! RUFFF RUFFFF
triple up on the lift straps...not sure that boss understands how weight works. and yes i work with bosses that think like this
Lost it at, "The zero came off the box."
If you use a hercu-lift to lift another hercu-lift it can do 90,000lbs. (300X300 lbs)
This scales with more hercu-lifts of course.
I'm gonna learn that managers ID number and he's buying my propane 😂
After the 2 tanks are empty no works getting done.
Management: knowing what's best for you since who gives a damn.
Shit my man is forklift certified show him some respect!
I used to work at Uline and I’m so glad that reference was made 😆😂
Option 1: Park the forklift when it runs dry.
Option 2: Park the forklift when it runs dry.
When the place grinds to a halt, minds will change.
DAMN THATS A GOOD ONE ! you should do one where the employee just walks out .
_"It has nothing to do with any of y'all, but you're required to be here."_
The very definition of _"This could have been an email and/or text."_
"You mean once I finish going through two tanks I can just sit back and do nothing the rest of the week on the clock?"
Give me a pallet jack after the second tank and imma take my SWEEEET time unloading that trailer
Time for whoever can relate to this to start forming a union. Call the teamsters.
FL operator: *uses less throttle to save propaine*
Manager: "We need to talk about your productivity" *shows him a binder with pictures of tasks and the "average time each takes"*
Marshall.. i just found your skits... these are awesome dude 😂😂😂😂
This man is grinding out these masterpieces with quickness
On god, if a company I work for EVER tries to rope the drivers into a warehouse meeting, I'ma just turn the "mandatory" point right back on them. Because you know what's more mandatory than a meeting? Pre-trip inspection
Got me crying in the first 3 seconds.
This dude is so effective at portraying the dumb boss that I get pissed off for real. Outstanding work
easy fix. use the managers employee number
Ooh boy, management here must love worker's comp claims.
The short did that one no justice. Great job 👍. Keep it coming
That's when you use the supervisors employee number on all lifts
We desperately need a follow-up to this one, lol!
TIME TO FIGURE OUT THAT MANAGERS EMPLOYEE NUMBER !!!!!!!!!! He's about to pay for a whollllle lotta tanks!!!!!!
I bet they charge by the refill as well, not by the liter.
You got to pay for fuel so he can buy a new husky ipad
The manager is talking like the gunny from generation kill
Unbelievably amazing content.
He says imma bark after he says alright 😂
Honestly thought Management was going to accuse them of stealing the Propane for their BBQ grills or something.
"I'm so sick a you!"
*Muhfuga I am FORKLIFT CERTIFIED*
warhouse can be a dangerous place, just saying
Every one of your videos is a reason unions exist and I love it.
Next week boss man gonna be complaining "too many work place injures, you need to work out more, here's a free gym membership that the company pays for with your money" and "Boss's birthday free pizza party, if you get him a gift over 20$ or work 8 hours Saturday no clocking in, attendance mandatory "
Shortly after the meeting, "Why are the propane bottles smaller now?"
those forks are gonna be going awfully slow lifting ANYTHING after that meeting
Ha ha his daughter got a new virtual pet
4:52 Damn... someone's been watching Ricky. That's what he'd do :D
This man is criminally under-subbed and under watched.
How many propane tanks can I pull out each time I open the cage?
I can feel the high blood pressure in this guy's acting!
"The zero came off the box" Almost fell out of my chair
They last 6 hours on a 12 hour shift you will go 2. 1 mid day and 1 end of shift so the next worker gets a fresh fill.
I used to do externsrve calcmlayshuns in my algebra classes in high school. They was bullshit too.
I would use my lunch break dl the Boom Nation app and be work'n by lunches end😂
Lmao. Its saving the employee damn nesr $30! Thats a win. I win, you win, we all win.
Bro I love you. Every time I see one of your vides my life become 300 lbs better.
I know it's difficult to do with you being both the characters but can we please get a video where the forklift driver beats the manager with a baseball bat and goes to another job?
But the twist is when he gets to the next job the boss is the brother of the boss he just kicked the crap out of.
I knew exactly what the dude was going to say about the first use of the lifting strap.. this shit is too accurate.
I'd just fucking quit and be "see y'all fucking in the next lift" 😂
That Hercilift may be able to carry 300 pounds. But it
cant carry the boss mans balls for coming to a meeting with that crap. I would of hit the door before he finished and went to the labor board
"Hey baby, did you find a new husky?" 😢😂😭
I need to put a pallet in top level reserve. How many o' them Herky-lifts will get me to 34 feet?
I deliver propane cylinders for forklifts and many times the empties are still half full of propane.
Dude pulls of hating himself really good lol
