I've got 7 years in this trade. Before this, I Fixed automobiles for 20 years. I drove 2 hours a day in my own car, paying gas and upkeep. I payed out thousands of dollars in tools, work wear and safety equipment. I was paid flat
rate, working 40 hrs but getting only 30.

This forklift trade is a huge step up. In this trade,
most pay nothing for gas or maintenance, insurance or taxes! Tools, uniforms,work boots, safety equipment and decent benefits are standard for most.

Sometimes, I work extra on my own time to get things done for the customer. Since they treat me like a human being, I dont mind giving back to my employer. When I remember how bad it is in other trades, It's quite easi to be in the forklift trade.
