I've been a part time flt instructor for my company for the last 8 years. I've put considerable effort into securing adequate training space and upgrading facilities as much as I possibly can. I have however been left with a slight conundrum. Our (american) site boss has identified that I train operators to apply the handbrake and select neutral prior to and during the use of hydraulics, however this is not followed in practice by any operators on the shop floor creating potential audit failure. My opinion was sought and there was only one response: "apply handbrake and select neutral prior to etc,ect". I've stuck to my guns on this and had several *** kickings as a result to just be told by an irate dispatch boss: "wur no daein it period!". Anyone had similar experiences? Where do I go from here? Home?The job market?
