Hi,
I am hearing some extraordinary stories about how a lot of present operators received their licenses, the stories are amazing.
From one guy who with no experience whatsoever spent 4 hours of his time with some training company and came out with a licence. (He did have to pay $600) To another guy who had 12 trainees in his class and was certified in 8 hours, now if I can assume that the classroom presentation took 4 hours,(which is inadequate) that's 20 minutes for each trainee to practice and go through pre-use training, familiarisation asessment etc.
What's happening out there?? What's the strangest story you have heard?

Yes many crazy stories........but like Dan, I guess the craziest one is when a new employee we have hired is going through a class I am conducting and as I always do, I take time during the class to try and get to know the class better by just having a short...."lets get to know each other better session"....and I have heard this more than once.."at my last job all I was required to do was get on a lift truck, start it up, move a pallet and I was trained and certified"........not what a trainer really likes to hear......so for the ones that take training seriously.. THANK YOU!!!!!!
The countless stories of people earning their permits by not having to operate the forklift for the instructor, attending a course for 2 separate classes of lift trucks that only took 4 hours and earned their permit, and others who simply acquired a pallet, placed it down on the ground, and returned it where they acquired it from, and earned their permit.
Just insane and ridiculous, and then one wonders why there are so many incidents.
