Lied on a resume..... now I’m here
My man lol. Forklift easy to drive, gotta fake it to make it!
Same here lol haha
I did the same thing. Lol.
#metoo
me too bro
Shows up for job interview.
Interviewer “can you operate a sit down forklift”
Myself “why of course”..runs to RUclips
Bruhhhhh. THAT'S what I'm doing RIGHT NOW!
Hahahaha.
@@VINZBROWN i got a interview and I'm pretty sure they're going told me to demonstrate lol watching this video
I just did 16.5 hrs of a forklift this weekend, doing load in, load at Arrowhead stadium with the Taylor Swift tour staging crew. First extended time on a forklift in 20 YEARS. This video helped. Got my brain RE oriented. Ha
how was it the first day,had time to adjust again? i havent driven in 3 years and in a couple of days im starting again.
That’s why I’m here too! 🤣🤣🤣
Driving a forklift isn't hard at all. I currently drive a sit down clamp truck, and double fork. My trainer was very patient and made sure I knew everything before releasing me. I didn't have a trainer at my last job. I ended up failing, but I was bless with a better job. I started off as a temp, and now I'm going full time this week.
Edit: I can now drive a standup forklift(its not a reach truck),reach truck, a
standup clamp truck, a walkie and OP. I also work for a new company.😀
Good to hear god bless bro💯✊🏾
@@deaundraecastanon6139 I'm still doing well. ✊🏾
Is the pay decent?
🔥👌💯
@@theloniouszappa it's pretty good. I'm working at a warehouse that just turned a year old this month so my pay will eventually increase the longer I stay.
Just converted 2 Min video into 2 years of fork lift experience lol
Skywolf Uber Gamer lol facts!!
Now I am 16 and I can drive forklift from 10 years old it is easy lol
@@stefanstefan2105 same
as someone who aspires to become a forklift operator in the future, I thank you
Brings back old memories :), drove a clamp truck for 19 of the 27 years I worked in newsprint mill in Newberg Oregon. Loved driving those things.
i have driven forklifts for the past 17 years and also reach trucks ... as well as loaders and diggers and bobcats in the past. its a somewhat enjoyable occupation ☺
I’m 6 months in and I like it a lot. I’m mad I didn’t search out lift operating jobs earlier in my life. The pay is decent, not too much wear on the body, and the over time pay is medium-top-tier.
@@KhariConception 👍 good stuff.
I like your still-present & enthusiastic regard for being a lift truck operator as your chosen occupation. I think its a pretty good line of work that I too find satisfying.
My father drove truck by trade his entire adult life so, for me, working a similar role in the same industry would come naturally & easy for me.
However, I entered the workforce as a young teen in the restaurant industry instead, though. Working my way up from entry level teen busboy/dshwshr to prep, line cook. I would eventually move up the ladder to the kitchen lead cook and then as Chef. All phases incl. server, bartender to various levels of kitchen & restaurant mgmt. over the course of 35 years.
About half of those years, I've worked as a forklift operator, loading pallets, drums, bins, etc. for different manufacturing plants & inť l shipping warehouse companies. I started my first warehouse job learning forklift at 18 yrs old when my dad helped me get a job at one of the companies he used to make freight pickups & deliveries to.
My point is, I've had both trades to fall back on, when I get burned out on one of them. I'll switch back to the other, around every 6-8 years or so.
I happen to be in the middle if one of those transitions right now. I'm going back to operating forklift again starting on this next Tuesday. I like both fields & love the fact that I'm highly skilled in both industries, as it allows me to always enjoy going to work every day w/o getting burned out at either job type. I may or may not go back to being a Chef again in about 6 or 8 yrs from now...we'll see.
For now though, I'm just excited to get back into shipping/receiving/warehousing industry as a lift truck operator again! :-)
@@m.c.ruckus2032 thats cool you can do that. 👍 i was a jockey back in the day but cant fall back on that anymore but i can do paving and landscaping if i need a change
That guy is a pro for real. Nice video!
IAM_RS3 GAMING xenanghangkomatsu.com
You call that pro
this was the strangest youtube thread I'd seen in a while.. not clicking those links ^^ nope..
HELL IsREALJesusSaves options were good
Yessirrrr😂
This video is really good. I paid for forklift training in Brisbane, Australia, and the instructor was so awful I considered walking out and paying take a class another place. It's great to be able to watch a pro on RUclips.
I start work next week as a forklift driver and I've never touched a forklift in my life.. my first day I will be tested lol.. I dun fucked up haha
I passed my test. All was good.
@@alexanderthegreatsdad.3831 what company you work for big inc?
@@solomonking5097 it's top secret
@@alexanderthegreatsdad.3831 Okay Mission In Possible (theme song ) lol...
Don't know why I drive a forklift at work and come home to watch a bunch of forklift videos. Do I have the Forklift Fever?
same here
It's just kinda cool watching other people do it on different lifts and environemnts. Like I drive an electric one in a recycling center environment and I've always wondered what gas lifts or straight warehouse is like.
Tyler K does anyone know what's the best website to get certified online? I want to get a job at this place, but I need to be certified
Tyler K I do the same thing haha
Tyler K wtf im not alone
thanks alot i was successful on my test an i am now certified i know right when i got behind the wheel it was much more complicated than i thought lol but i overcome all the challenges and learnt alot about safe
How did you get your certificate
Does it have a license as well for forklift?
Instead of the music it would of been much more helpful for the guy driving to tell you what everything he is pointing and touching actually IS.
Lights, levers, steering wheels, you get the idea.
Knowing what the levers do would be nice, one raises and lowers the fork, another pushes it in and out, another must be forward and reverse
he literally showed you what they did though lol
Idk if you saw it, but to the left of the steering wheel there was a lever for 'forward' and 'reverse.' The levers to the right of the steering wheel, starting with the one closest to the wheel, was to raise/lower the lift, the next one was the angle or pitch of the forks(raising or lowering the ends of the forks so they pitch up or down). I can only guess, since he didn't appear to use the 3rd or 4th levers, but I'd imagine the 3rd is for side shifting(where you slide the forks left of right). Not sure what the 4th one does... although on another youtube video they say it's to space out the forks(i.e. move them apart, or together). Although, it could be possible for extending the forks out, but idk how likely that is since I've never seen a sit down with extendable forks.
What would be nice is going to an actual course to learn about forklifts, watching videos on youtube does not teach you anything, there is more than just driving a forklift to think about, you need to know safety, what to do in different situations, how to check on maintenence on the forklift, know what it can carry and not and so on.
1. raise and lower
2. tilt
3. sideshift
Only time it has the option to go in and out is usually a reach lift!
Easiest thing I've ever driven in my life. There's so many people at my work who struggle with this.
I started at my current job as a order picker, well one night the assistant manager told me the company was sending someone in to to do an audit on the all the forklifts and order pickers. He asked me “you know how to drive the sit downs? If not I’ll move them myself.” I told him “no” he showed me. Said “this is forward, this goes back, neutral, emergency brake down here, brake release here, got it.” I Just hopped on the machine and figured it out. Well the assistant manager has been on vacation so the fill in has been letting me practice. I’ve got it down pretty much, I just need to get better with the Inching brake. I picked an order last night and said “you know what I’m going to do, I’ll just leave the pallet on my picker and practice with the sit down.” Was super easy,
@@Snakeyes11123 I started yesterday. I did pretty solid. I smacked into two things tho 🤣🤣🤣 those tight turns are something else . I just gotta be real slow next time
@@Snakeyes11123 don't you need a licence to operate them
It's an old video but wth, I'll mention it anyway. That button on the second lever (from the left), your pitch lever, is to straighten your forks to true straight. That way there's no guesswork. You just tilt your forks all the way back, and as you tilt them back to the forward position, you keep your finger on that button. It will stop the forks when they are straight. It won't go any further when holding the button, so when it stops, that's when you know the forks are level. ✌️ Best of luck to anyone new out there. It's easier than you'd think.
Today I learned! Thanks for sharing I’ll have to remember this
I learned this by accident as I spent months wondering what that button was for (I mostly drive Reach or the bigger Hysters so I have limited experience with something like this). I thought I broke something at first until I realized the forks were perfectly level!
Been a while so I need to refresh the old noodle.😁 Hes pretty good. Funny how it all becomes second nature after a while. Just remember Safety first!
driving forklift is my job and i love it! doesnt even feel like working :)
Kauhuvaara It's fun work. Just operate safely.
😁
As someone with ADHD (or ADD depending on which DSM you're looking at) I must say it looks fun. It gets boring for me in forklift simulators and consruction simulator 2015 has a nice forklift I don't like that much after a while, like it doesn't keep my focus. But in real life that'd be a lot different.. I used to love just driving a toro lawn tractor and couldn't wait to cut the lawn when I was younger... so yeah. Easily amused a bit
For reals. Sitting on ur ass all day
Do you need a license of some kind to drive one?
Where are the TURTLES!?!? Certification just go to your local temp staff agency and ask about the program it should be completely free and you can get done with it in a week and they will also help you get a job as well .
Forklift is some is a great start in the Warehouse industry! Thinking of getting into the Forklift game as well very soon.
Now that's what I call a good damn video. Quick straight to the point and for folks that visual you can watch over and over. And pass what ever test is given.
I must be the only one who didn't lie on the interview. I told the lady that I don't have a certification or some sort but that I am willing to learn to drive a forklift. Now they put me on round two of the interview.
Same. Good luck brother 🤝
This was really helpful, thanks.
GUESSING WE ALL LIED ON A RESUME AND NOW WE ARE HERE😂😂😂 PS this guy is slight flexing on us 😂😂 doing the course in reverse
They make you do it in reverse
Wow so amazing to watch.. I really love to learn to operate that machine and make it as a carrer.
good video mate!! brazil whatching your videos! tks man
Learning pallet jack at 1st, then got eager on how to learn forklift and now i got my forklift license thanks to Perdue 😁😁❤️
I drive the hyster 100 at work, it's fun. Turbo diesel, 2 speed, 6' forks, took a couple days to get used to the longer forks but once you do it's fun
We have 2 Hysters at my job. I’d say the Toyota’s and the Yale lift we have are superior though!
@@KhariConception yales are awesome for sure. We ended up getting a different rental company and got LPG Toyota, most of them have about 7,000+ hours now, they get driven 24/7 on 3 different shifts
Thanks For Posting This Video It Does Come In Handy
Takes me back to my forklift days
I remember mastering the back wheel to move when turning fucked my brain up. But that was with the Raymon Reach Truck! Tomorrow is my training for the Toyota sit down forklift. I’m scare because I never drove the sit down forklift, but I’m confident I will pass.
A big challenge for a forklift driver is unloading tall stacks from a 53 footer trailer. You have to slightly tilt the forks back and lift about an inch in order to avoid hitting the trailer roof.
Just got a job in a warehouse, and it is terrifying having to be so careful
Lol in our warehouse if you run into something half the time we just keep on going. Let me revise, the idiots who run ours do. Not safe at all
I’m here after lying in an interview.
Ok
xXlegit_ opsXx ...he lied to secure the job 💯
They don’t make you show them a certification?
Excellent.
Learned this 15 years ago. Asked to do some work for a mate, here for a refresher.
Thanks a lot your helping a lot of people
Ah yes, as I watch this to re-cap on the controls; the haunting sound of the reverse signal returns to my mind.
great job
My brain: "You can do this, just remember everything that youtube video thought you."
**gets on forklift**
Also my brain: Brain.exe has stopped working.
18 dislikes on this video? what the fuck are you even doing here then??? I swear people watch videos JUST to dislike it
RYG it says "how to". yet he doesn't say a word about whats going on or why he's doing certain things. this is more of a demo than an actual tutorial
D Brown if you watch it on a computer you will see pop up's and tips. RUclips took away comments and popups on mobile devices. Next video we will be making the video with the comments in it so everyone can see on any device :)

very helpful
Hahahaha oh my lawd I just got hired at amazon warehouse and stupidly volunteered to learn how to drive this thing 🤣🤣 I'm so worried now
Driving backwards that's cool I might need a lot more practice than I thought I'm serious I'm nervous
Going to new job in about 20 mins, wish me luck :D
How'd it go?
im doing this course tommarow out of the blue better take notes
Thank you for this video tutorial of driving forklift God bless all the time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am officially ready to drive a forklift 😂, starting my job today “training”
Nice operations
I'm about to get a forklift job training on-site is it normal to be nervous?
Dude it's a forklift lmao I aced a surprise test for a job interview without knowing shit. Turned it on and felt out the controls. Its super easy after you know which lever does what.
I wish my training would look like this. I'm moving metal crates with legs, I have to stack them, it's really hard to put one on top of the other. I have only 3 days of driving, only one hour each day.
If my mom can do this, so can I god dammit lol
same

Whoa.... Watch your language.
Thank you very much
Thanks for this, high quality video!
The C-5 series of gas loaders are the most enduring gas forklifts with the longest service life. baltic-forklift.prom.ua/g5584715-gazovye-pogruzchiki
I learned how to operate one right as I started using it.
Nice video 💯
Thanks
I’m here after finally becoming decent at operating forklifts at my job. I just want to become better and to at least crack the top 5 in performance at my job so that I get that raise and lock in job security like my assistant supervisor.
Very helpful video thanks dear bro
Good 👍🏻
I got it thank you now I know
Nice
Have an exam tomorrow for my forklift license and I have not studied or practiced so I’m here(;
I start at FedEx on the 3rd. Just tryna learn some basics lol
why are u moving so fast it supposed to b teaching not showing how good u drive
Its is nice video
I kinda fucked up, I lied on my job interview and now I'm here, I start in 48 hours wish me luck.
Really hope you get a good job now
Well?
i have my test this wednesday and thursday and i think i already knw what to do thanks youtube lol
Hi Sean, That is great you found these videos helpful, But there is a lot more to driving a lift truck than just watching a video. Make sure you receive proper training from a reputable training provider who not only teach you how to operate the equipment, but also give you a theory lessons on the law and how to protect you and others around you. Good luck on your test!
i got and interview to work one of these things, im trying to learn how to drive them over youtube videos cuz ive never driven one before
good, tks
Who lied on their resume and still got the job after watching this? 😂🤣👍💯💯....
Lmao me! 😂 Bout to start a new forklift job tomorrow that’s why I’m here
@@kashteller7466 Lmfao, nice goodluck and best wishes 😂🤣🙏🙏🙏💯💯..
😂😂😂
Didnt lie or anything lmao. Im here because my supervisor told me and another guy “I’m giving yall your forlift test tommorow cause I want to see you win” ….. nice but, the problem is I’ve never used a forklift lol
Lmfoa this helps I have a interview tomorrow for a wear house job and they said they need at least 1 year experience lmao ima lie I really need this job
Very cool as a training video. Not doing that inspection shit everyday. I’ve tried. You can’t and you don’t.
this will help, today i have my forklift test.. with ill walk like if i know what im doing
Hope it helps! Good luck.
What i heard about the forklifts in this factory that their are brand new
+KHALIFA KUSH yes, most are new. It's cheaper to maintain as they are under warranty that way. The one in this video is new and it's a Toyota counterbalance propane. There are many different makes but all are similar to one another. Before you go for your test, make sure you received professional training from a reputable provider. Good luck!
Can you make a video on clamp trucks? Thanks!
I'm going for training tomorrow for a forklift position. Passed my written test, and now im doing the physical. Been watching all these vids, so I'm not completely clueless at work when the guy trains me. Watched the vid like 5 times to burn it in my brain. Thing is, I don't drive, and I've never driven a forklift before so im extra nervous
im in exactly the same boat mate haha =] don't worry i'm sure you will pick it up, the difficult part looks like reversing but its all about knowing where the turning points are, after watching this video i got a bit of a better understanding, how did it go btw?
Yeah how did it go? I'm interested in getting a job like this. How did you get it?
Splinter4077 apply at any warehouse
Jay Briggs Lol no not any. I’ve worked in Distribution for 5 years now and have never seen a forklift like this most places use stand up reach trucks.
J Cole that's wassup
I was trained that you are to honk when you start moving and change directions. (Also at intersections, rounding blind corners, and going through doorways)
Don't forget to hook more when your boss on the floor....:-)
Just started driving a forklift at work didn't know there was licence
Jordan Cato 😂😂😂
Jordan Cato it isnt..its a certification..not a license
Your individual company may require it. However the state doesn't care as long as you stay off their roads.
@@hood2hood757 its still a license to operate one
You dont even need the certificate to get the job, or to even drive one. I just started working at a warehouse and only 1 person out of 15 has one.
First time using a forklift.
Did a test today and I pass.
Did the performance test, and I did OKAY. But I still need to practice more before I even get certified or I say I can able to use it. So I can get comfortable.
Got a driving test tomorrow 👍
First clutch: up, down
Second clutch: in, out
Third clutch : side to side
Got it? Lol
What’s the 4th one?
@@Chill_Deen The forbidden one.
Quenton Waldron this dude 💀😂
2nd is not in, out. It’s tilt forward and back.
@@Chill_Deen most likely changes the distance between forks.
I always wanted to learn how to operate a forklift
i thought this was am episode of How Its Made from that intro
lol
1:27 “I wonder if you know, how they live in tokyo! if you see it then you mean it, then you know you have to go”
I like that how he checks an beeps tnk u I hope I pass 👍
I'm here cause I wanted to get a job doing this seems like fun maybe I'm the only women into doing this I have learned a few things on youtube but I would like to give it a go I don’t like lying if I want to do something I learn it before saying I do. 🙂
I drive a yale forklift. I love it
Hey bro do it properly engage your parking brake when making transitions
didn't lie in interview, have driven multiple types of industrial trucks...now I'm here, I don't know why.
wish me luck on my training today
I just remembered that I used to be terrified or forklifts in stores when I was a kid, like up through age 7 maybe or even 8 or 9? They scared me when they'd beep the horn and I didn't know why they were beeping (the reverse beep) - I'd start crying and asking my mother and or father if they were going to run us over. They'd of course assure me the forklift would never do such a thing but I kept it in my mind "Well what if"? What if the forklift driver gets mad and does this? This is probably because I'm autism spectrum, and also because I was abused at the least, psychologically, or emotionally whatever you want to call it, from a young age with borderline personality disorder in my family, mom's side and myself... Holy crap that was cathartic. Thank you for the video. How did you mount the camera in so many places? Or cameras?
Always tilt first before you lift a load
We have 15 minutes to unload a truck. I spend way too much time making sure my forks go in without puncturing the product. Other drivers go in, pick their pallet, back out, and park it in seconds. I take minutes 😭😭😭. Ive always driven standup trucks where we extend our forks and then pick up the pallet. I think it's a psychological thing. I get nervous when the truck is so close to product 🤦🏽♀️. I talk to myself out load and say...come on dummy just pick up the damn pallet 🤣
How u doing NOW??
@@danielletaylor4056 unfortunately I am awaiting surgery on my ankle and out of work. I had gotten to the point where I could grab pallettes in record speed with my eyes closed lol. I miss it so much.
@@MsCoolVibez oh no!! Sorry to hear that. I’m getting certified soon and was trying to get familiar before my test. Looks satisfying
@@danielletaylor4056 aww thank you, these things happen💕 and yes it's very satisfying, just take your time and build your muscle memory. You got this 🤗💪🏽
Merci🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
I haven't touched a forklift in years and I'm drafting a survey for forklift operators to compare a new model vs the old model. What questions would a daily forklift operator appreciate to be asked about a new model vs an old model? Thanks!
Old forklift are as good as the new ones I prefer the older one than a brand new Toyota, sure there are some thing better but the gas pedal sensitivity is better on older models but its not very different than a newer one
Lied like hell on my application. Now I'm here.
I was trusted to pull the forklift in for the night and there was a zero turn deck on the forks and I hit a door and shattered the window, I've never felt like a complete dumbass. And now its 1:30 am and I'm here
this is sweet!
Beeping to reverse even though it makes a beeping sound
You have to do that most warehouses require earplugs and the only way people hear you is with the horn if your around a corner or blind spot
I’ve been taught to beep every time you change direction.
The reason i here is because i see forklifts in my work And Wana try one out,
Why ?
For Drifting for Sure.
Good point
Looks pretty easy
