ZZ,

The problem here is that there is no requirement to be considered a forklift training instructor, school or company, at least here in Canada, and I presume the States. Any pea brain can open up shop and start to train. Their credentials are not studied, and believe you me, there are lots of idiots getting away with this. So what we are saying, ZZ, is that there are individuals out there who call themselves trainers. They then put on a TTT course which lasts about a day. Yes, a day! Now the students consider themselves trainers and go off and train people in their respective companies to be competent operators. Here are the controls. This is what they do. Now you go try it....

Get my drift, now?

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
