I to consider myself grate full as in the 16 years of turning a wrench I have always had a job and able to make money and have not had to cut back on my life style but I live so far below my means anyways. I have seen guys that make 100k plus a year and are out of work due to thier jobs are not skilled work. One thing about the forklift service industry is there will always be work and is considered a skilled job so not anyone can do it and I think it is one of the industries where we can actually say that. I have seen a noticable increase in customer spending money to fix thier equipment due to the simple fact more product is being moved.
