Ah, Vince. A technician you must be, and a trainer, NOT! Technicians are very smart individuals, having to dismember these huge machines, with all the hydraulics and stuff. Having to put up with miserable managers, taking blame for operators' screw-ups, and miserable salesmen. Oh, how unfortunate the Techs must be because no one else in this world has to put up with crap everyday. Anyways, hats off, to all the forklift technicians, as they deserve it, 100%! It is a demanding job, with little, or no recognition. And I mean it.

Maybe they can teach some of the 'so-called' trainers out there, but I know, that no technician, will ever teach me anything regarding safety and forklifts. And that is why I service whom I do, and do so honestly, and sincerely, without having to diss any of my competition.

Therefore, I do apologize for the mistaken understanding regarding the specific training being questioned, and I shall continue to provide the best forklift training, to the operators of my region. And continue to stay away from technical issues pertaining to forklifts, having never been trained, or experienced, in this area of lift trucks.
