@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam thanks bro I have an interview today .. great videos by the way 🫡🫡

@@bzo757 good luck and don’t over think it. Trust me it’s easier than it looks.

Ok, I have a few points for you that will disput what you said, since I have a valid opinion, and I work in a warehouse with these safety mechanisms. First off, the "alarm" or the "beeping" that goes off when going forwards and backwards is for safety. Its so that other people that are not the forklift drivers can hear that the forklift is heading their direction. Second of all, it HAS to be as loud as you are led to believe it is (which is nowhere near deafening), because it is within a warehouse, that is quite big, and where the aisles can be quite long. Again, to ensure the safety of others that are working within the warehouse. Lights do not do much at all, especially going around blind corners, which Sams club and Costco both have. We are not defeaned by the beeping, and if we were, we have ear plugs, but again, due to safety reasons, especially since operating a 9 THOUSAND pound machine, it would be dangerous to wear those earplugs. Simply speaking, it is a job, and if you cannot do your job, and if something as little as beeping will deafen you, you are not fit to work within the warehouse industry.

@@cedricwu9167 I don't have time to write a book here, but I started in warehouses when I was 18 yrs old. I'm 53 now, so I've seen a lot. No offence, but you sound young by the way you write. Are you in your early twenties? I've worked in buildings with machines with backup alarms that were not safe at all. It's all about the operator and a safety culture that's enforced. My company now has about 80 pieces of MHE in a 540,000 sq ft facility and only TWO have backup alarms (and we were given them from another facility so we can't remove the alarms as they are stock equipment), and it's the safest building I've ever worked in. You do not need them. Come talk to me if you are still working there in your 50s and maybe you'll change my mind. Oh, and I choose to wear earplugs when I drive one of those two machines, and that doesn't make it unsafe either. I'm not trying to be a dick, but trust me, you're hearing doesn't last forever. I was obviously exaggerating about going deaf, but loud noise over time can give you tinnitus, which I have (also from rock concerts when I was younger). Alarms on machines where you have full visibility in one direction are not needed. Too much noise is just ignored and perceived as background noise, that's why those lights on the floor were introduced (as well as to reduce operator fatigue). Guess I wrote a bit of a book after all, as I'm pretty passionate about this. Warehouse jobs are generally uneducated, low skill work, and I hate to say it, but we are treated as much, so it's important to advocate for yourself.

@@Acheron.426you absolutely cannot depend on a “safety culture” as every single warehouse in the world all have different cultures, hell even different departments within those warehouses have different cultures. Back up alarms again are one of those safety issues that if you didn’t have, there would be more injuries. I can understand where you are coming from, but to me, it is better to have those alarms than just a red light that you may not see in time, as most of the times, people are not staring at the ground while walking. Within my warehouse, it is common knowledge that you hear a forklift, you give way to it, and one of those hearing aids is the alarm. When there is a forklift approaching you from behind, would you immediately look down to see where it’s coming from, as you suppose the red lights would work like? Sure, it can be read as background noise, but to most new people who has just gotten hired, it’s so much safer to have the alarms. Costco and Sam’s constantly are hiring, so removing those alarms makes it that much unsafe, which relates back to the culture, in which new people don’t even know about. Back up alarms are there for a reason, if it was useless, what would the point be? If companies knew that, then wouldn’t they just get redundant?

It’s the same at our store. They’re just trying to avoid from paying drivers please don’t let them finesse you. Remember it pays an additional $2

@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam I’ll remember that 👀

No I’m no longer on the road. Thank you stay blessed as well

Yes but without being on the forklift.

No there’s no preference.

@@Mike420X I’m at $17.51

​@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam17.51 kinda low . If you don't mind me ask what state your in ??

It’s ridiculous how we are getting paid. But I stay in Alabama.

@@RedWhiBlu sounds good hopefully corporate can help fix some of these issues because we’re going to go crazy over here with how much freight they’re forcing on us.

Trust me, it ain’t just you guys, corporate, and the purchasers went a little overboard after YBM, and every club is jam packed right now.

Omarmcis was a good time for my mom and I got a good time to

I would suggest renting when you first start off for you can get the hang of everything and get a good understanding of the expensive that you would endure during the business. But I highly recommend buying your own truck if you are able to afford one. But starting off by renting a truck do teach you a lot of things that you would need to understand about the business.

Can you make sufficient money while renting ​@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam

Thank you for following the channel. And an early congratulations on your forklift certification! You got it just be detailed and stay encouraged.

Congratulations! It’s a lot better than Walmart lol.

Idk about that lmao I’m a curbside lead. Fully staffed; a rare location that’s on top of thing. But the Merch leads come n go except for one dude holding it down wit the coach

@@SuperBabyMario0Ccorrect me if I’m wrong- I think he meant Walmart distribution.

$17.51

@LifeJourneys_UA-cam bro they only give me 15 and expect me to do groceries and liquor with a hand jack only

@@ByeQuazi that’s how they tried to play me but I spoke up for myself and requested more pay. Merchandiser position pays $15 and being on the forklift pays $2 more.

Just do curbside my store gets $19.25 per shopper. Used to be $18

Thank you for the advice, we are here to help each other.

I work on these same machines at amazon, you just gotta take it slow and easy until you get comfortable with it. Regardless of what your supervisor says, safety is your #1 priority when operating heavy machinery. Take it slow, this way any mistakes can be caught before they happen. I'm not sure how ya'lls machines are, but ours have screens that tell us how high our forks are. If ya'll have that, use that to your advantage when pulling pallets from high racking.

@@seyo6366 Thank you. Because I work the morning shift. I got to drop pallets from the top and you only get 4 hours to do so on Fridays Saturdays and Mondays and Tuesdays. Sundays is the only slow day because we open at 10. I’m like why are yall in here at 8M. Sheesh! 😆 Some times you have to drop 68 pallets out of the steel. Mind you I have to start on snacks which is aisles 17 to 34. 37 is Beauty and protein drinks and body wash items. I’m like you gotta drop all this in 4 hours and then start putting it all back around 730 by yourself. Whew. I’m still trying to level my forks into the pallets too. Because they place pallets like the protein drinks. Listerine, and bulky cans like beans, corn, on the 3rd steel and that’s the problem I have because I’m like this is too heavy to be going all the way on the highest steel. They got gazebos, beds, deck boxes, all on the highest steel. I’m like these things are HEAVY. Why are they all the way up there? But you’re right. Slow down. Just be careful.

@@TheLittlePrayerCafethe reason why those big bulky items are in the top steel is because it is much easier to pull them off the steel compared to being in the middle. The steel fixtures can support plenty of weight. If you are having difficulty getting stuff from the top do the following: Level out your forks before going in. Raise them enough for the fork to touch the pallet after you go in. Lift very slightly. Tilt the forks back then lift up more. Finally, you back out and lower when you’re able to. That is how I train on forklift.

Yes but it won’t be no time soon.

​@@LifeJourneys_UA-camis it that bad

What kind would you like me to do?

@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam I’m actually just about to start here at Sam’s Club as a Merchandiser. This video was really helpful. But more day to day duties, what’s expected for production. Is the pay worth it? Job stress? What would you be lifting on a day to day basis? I’ve never been into a Sam’s club. I’m transferring from Walmart Distribution and trained on the forklift and the clamp. So doing these videos are HELPFUL! I will be doing the morning shift though.

@@TheLittlePrayerCafe I’ll covered that for you ASAP!

@@LifeJourneys_UA-cam Thank you 😊
