I used to drive a forklift. We watched a video on it, received training on the forklift and changing the propane, and filling it. No liscence. ---

I drive a forklift 7 hours a day at work for the past 5 years… I know I have to get recertifed every 3 years for osha. You don’t get it. ---

Kind of crazy that taking out one support took everything down. osha or whatever makes you get a cert to operate forklifts, atleast in my experience. ---

I think they changed it so forklift certs are given by your employer and expire if you get fired/quit, at least that’s what my old boss told me. I drove them uncerted though. ---

I have zero certificates saying I am qualified to operate a forklift. I was simply trained by my employer and I can assure you that my employer is OSHA kosher and everything is legit. It is a hundred million dollar operation. You don’t get it? ---

OMFG this is ridiculous… Obviously some employers need you to have a certification/license and some don’t. Is it really worth getting into an argument about? Regardless of whether you need one or not, this dude F\*CKED up. So stop being little bitches about whether you need a cert or not and watch the video of this guy destroying thousands of dollars worth of Cognac. This is why I hate NYSpeed sometimes, because someone finds a ridiculous reason to pick a fight and they run with it as far as they can. An that’s why we end up with threads that have 8 pages of bullshit. ---
