"So where did you learn to drive a forklift?"
"Some dope dude on youtube"
I'm gonna put the link of this video on my CV from future job interviews 😎😎
Actually easier than a car I don't have a car licence but got my forklift licence
As someone whom'st has been unemployed for a long time and previously asked if i can drive a forklift and basically responded with: "N0.. lmao rofl.."
When i could've just used this video as a guide and maybe landed that job .. :(
JF forklift academy 😂
Some dope dude -> Lil Wayne showed me
Got my first ever forklift training tomorrow. Im so nervous as I’m the sole provider for my family. I have God on my side and my faith is strong. You are the guy brother. Live a prosperous life my man

Wonder if he comes back to check his comments?? newbie here and this is one of the best youtube vids I have seen (aside from baking)
*Hiring Manager:* Are you forklift certified?
*357,000 People:* Yes, Josh Fowler was the best OSHA certified instructor I ever had.

I'm a lady, got forklift training at my job on Monday! and I was so nervous, but watching this video, i think i got it!! Thank you so much for this!! 👍🏾
I'm a female going into the this position..the vid helped me tremendously. So precise & straight to the point . You're a great teacher sir.
Ahhh! Girl power!!! I actually was looking for others thinking this was somethings other ladies wouldn't do! What was EYE thinking! My dad used to do this for a living. He retired after 30 years of never missing a day! Now I get to try it.
@@parktaejoon1777 why wouldnt ladies do this? is not a physically intense labour job
@@ernestogastelum9123 Because in my experience I haven't seen other ladies in this role! I'm glad it's not physically intense, because I start Tuesday.
Thought it was a meme turns out its actual certification advice
Haha same
@Leland Hugh no we don’t
Literally the first 3 seconds in I was like... oh wait he’s not joking ahah
@Leland Hugh skid
If you follow everything this guy does, you'll fail your exam. How he exits a forklift is a fail, and you're not supposed to enter on the right side where the accelerator and all the levers are. This guy is an accident waiting to happen.
Completely surprised this isn’t a video of someone fucking up disastrously in 5 mins but rather a video literally showing you how to operate a forklift. Also now I am certified on a forklift.
666
He doesn’t demonstrate how to prevent an accidental repetition of the “Klaus’ first day” incident.
He doesn't use 3 point contact when jumping off the forklift at the beginning of the video. I didn't know if it was serious right then and there
@@gregpittman1700 he actually does a lot of things incorrectly. I would fail him and start the training over if this was his test.
@@a1rh3add yea unfortunately I didn't watch it if it's only 8 minutes. You may be able to steer it during the practical. But when it comes to theory they won't pass with this video. Just the types of masts, stages, capacity plates, attachments, fuel types etc. Is this video serious though?
came here because I go through the practical certification tomorrow and I'll be honest I was nervous and needed a refresher before sleep lol, so this is just what I needed thank you
What a gigachad helping his fellow man. Just applied for a job, only time will tell. Thx for this video.

So far this is the most understandable, self explanatory and the clearest video I have ever watched with regards to forklift operation.
In fact, the guy in the video is really an outstanding operator

@@robert9595 😂😂😂
Big one i find is people keeping their forks up too high and whipping around corners
Yeah after watchin this I’m confident I’d fuck up da whole warehouse
Also an OSHA certified PIE trainer (slightly different terminology where I'm from, instead of truck it's just equipment,) but I was extremely surprised with how informative this was, only thing he should have hit on was the zero point turning and safety data plate. Not knowing what a SDP is kinda ruins the "I'm certified" lie. :P

Watching from Fiji 🇫🇯🏝 as we are currently undergoing our Forklift training.
Thank you so much brother for the easy and best tutorial❤
Thank you for this helpful video! Just the thought of driving a forklift always seemed intimidating to me. The way you explained everything and demonstrated it was very helpful. Having the skill to drive a forklift is very helpful when working in a warehouse, especially when a lot of the jobs in that field ask for that. I never realized how simple it was! Thank you!
I don’t know why I’m watching this, but I’m enjoying it.
No replies to this comment, I’ll be the first.
I’ve driven many different forklifts already, but for some reason I’m still watching this video
I’ve been driving forklifts for 13 years, I don’t even know why this is in my recommenced videos but apparently I’m watching it
Same 😂

"Turns just like a regular car."
*has rear wheel stearing*
@@nickg8915 isn't that just 4 wheel steering?
Rear steering is used to steer sharply around corners it’s quite sensitive compared to a car
It's not really all that different, conceptually speaking it's exactly like driving a car. Slightly less complicated then driving stick, you just take corners a lot faster, which is why you go really slow. Honestly feels smoother once you're used to it, wish my car could back up like that sometimes.
And it annoyed me how he lined it up like a car. That was a lot of unnecessary travel.
@@a1rh3add not easier to do, but easier to teach.
You are a very good instructor! I am having a job LTL interview for a local company and they will test basic forklift operation. This video helped me understand the basics.
Bro you made my day better for future now,i never knew it was so simple and easy like that bro,myself am a driver and i drive different types of cars in trucks but i never operate folk lift in my life,but i believe i can do it now,thank so much God bless u
Thank You So Much
That man was generous. He explained in simple terms the operation of a Forklift in less than eight minutes.
And now you have 700k people going around lying about being certified thinking this video is all they need to operate a forklift safely, when forklift-related accidents are already one of the absolute most common causes of death and serious injury in industrial and warehouse-type jobs.
Seriously, this guy has his heart in the right place. He's trying to help people out so they can get jobs. But the reality is that the certification process is there for a reason. Just knowing the controls is not enough to operate a forklift safely, and even if you can fool people into believeing that you're certified when you're not (which any experience forklift operator would be able to spot in an instant just from seeing you drive), you're basically just counting down the days until you make a mistake and kill somebody or yourself because you don't really know what you're doing.
@@Fraggr92 For real. Joshua failed his forklift exam 5 times in the first 5 seconds of this video. He's not even a certified driver, much less an instructor.
ua-cam.com/video/VWn0SsLnmI4/v-deo.html
@@Fraggr92 Internet doesn't give you EXPERIENCE. This video gives a quick reference and review to foster the basics. Seeing someone driving a forklift doesn't make anyone a forklift operator. It's common sense. However the video EXPLAINS how the forklift OPERATES. A video is no substitute for full training.
This guy needs to be an instructor, I mean he just taught like 250k people how to drive a forklift. He has the right personality and skill to show others how to do this.
I agree but one of the most important things about forklifts that he left out is the stability triangle. Basically, after you pick something up and are clear to put your forks down, put them down as low as possible. Otherwise you run the risk of tipping over which can lead to death if you don't know what to do when a fork lift tips over.
ua-cam.com/video/FmHMeVTeaF4/v-deo.html
Problem is that he just certified all his potential customers.
@@Helium_Kennyy True, I cringe whenever I see someone driving around with their forks way up in the air when they don't need to be but as long as you're on relatively flat ground and don't make any sudden moves you should be fine assuming you're not picking up something that's heavier than the forklifts rated for. You'd have to be driving pretty reckless to tip over. I've honestly never felt like I was about to tip over before while operating a forklift.
@@Helium_Kennyy also he didn't look behind him when he backed up.
Bruh the instructor will just show this video
This training is the dopest I have seen, a quick fix hands-on training, it's a ready to go training, I think this should be the first part of forklift training especially if you already drive a car. The other aspects, safety and the fundamental Physics should come after this. God bless you bro, you're the best.
Thank you man, starting my warehouse job next week and I had no idea how to maneuver a forklift until now.
This guy seems like he would be a good friend
What do you mean _would_ be? He just gave us all the quick and dirty. Thats a friend right there man
I need more friends like this
@@Mrkbates you and me both
That’s the dude everyone loves talkin too in the warehouse
kinda cute ngl
and I don't mean the guy
I'd like to imagine that this guy doesn't work here and just wanted to show people how to control a forklift
yeah he just snuck in the backdoor with another guy and a camera Mr. stealy style
Highly underrated comment
This cracked me up 😂😂😂
He got hired after they saw the video
This couldn't be simpler I I have no previous forklift experience I actually began crane training in the morning and this video is giving me a lot of confidence and understanding is so simple

Its been five years or more since I drove a lift and was slightly nervous about a upcoming job opportunity. But watching your video helped it all come back to me thanks bro...
There was a time where my first warehouse job,boss goes "can you drive a forklift" me "nope" throws me the keys and says you can today and walked away. 3-5 mins later me putt putting through warehouse like I've been on the job 20 yrs.
Is this in the West Coast? In NC they would never do that, because they are scared of the OSHA fines, they always say they can show up unannounced anytime, so they don’t play with OSHA
This is how it is in Georgia! If you get training....Maybe a max of 10 minutes and your good. Main tips "don't hit anything" and "don't hit anyone "
@@dawicked2k8 osha dont come at 3am... Lol this dudes from the midwest if i had to guess chicago or detriot.
@@dawicked2k8 I’ve always hated the idea of some big corporation can come it at anytime and sue you. The probability of OSHA showing up at some remote warehouse where someone is driving a forklift without a license is literally 0, because they have more important things to do and better ways to use their resources
@@pakzgames1421 yeah lol Chicago don’t give a fuck I used to work at a car tire warehouse & it was a bunch of 18/19 year olds like myself uncertified driving forklifts around lol but we knew what we was doing of course
interviewer: experienced in driving a forklift?
me: yes
interviewer: how long have you driven forklift?
me: never
Well if you are a man then you have driven a forklift since the day you were born.
God bless you man. You don't know what you have done for me and many others.
I'm so thankful.
And I will want to have more of your lessons.
I am a driver but I have never used a forklift before but I intend going through a training soon, but after watching this practical demonstration I wonder if I will need someone to take me through any training. I am a qualified operator the first day I will lay my hands on one. Absolutely beautiful demonstration.👏👏👏
Thank you man you taught me how to drive a forklift and now I'm making 21$ an hour, when I was a cashier making 10, I hope you get all the blessings
More like 15 an hour if you’re in California 🤣
@Snoop Dogg 10/hr in any other state will buy you more than 15/hr in California. Especially after taxes. Have fun being held upside down by your ankle.
Quikc tip fellas. Get into the Autobody Industry especially if you live in California. There’s a lot of money to be made out here. I make over 6 figures a year
You know they teach people how to drive forklifts at the job when they train... 😔😔😑
@@Selfloathingmisanthrope thanks i will 🤥🤣
"Take your time. Take it slow."
Management: I'm gonna need you to move these 15 pallets of inventory that is 5ft high, weighs 300lb each, costs $10,000 each, across the warehouse 500ft in that direction, with heavy walking traffic and tight corners, all in 10 minutes; otherwise, you're fired. And don't fuck up.
reading your comment spikes my anxiety
You’re the one that has to live with injuring yourself or another person for the rest of your life. Fuck that job and anyone that tells you otherwise.
You forgot a 0 in the weight figure, and you forgot to mention the "energy saving light bulbs" that turn off as soon as you drive away, making them now tight *BLIND* corners as well. If you're *REALLY* lucky there's gonna be a guy strung out on meth trying to play indy500 with you, or a gnarly old drunk who passed out in the aisle you've been using the last 20min. Fuck I love forklift jobs XD
With that attitude, I'll leave those pallets directly on the door on management office, one pallets on the top of another.
Damn I feel lucky, the one place I used tow motors they always said that they’d rather me do a slow, safe, good job rather than a fast, dangerous, shit job
Just wanted to come back and thank you bro. I went in for a job as a Crown forklift driver at BMW today. I don’t know 💩 about operating a forklift but I watched your videos last night and I passed the written and verbal test today so I got the job! I start Monday!!! Thank you again bro
Hi am a driver with experience but I visit a company they work with forklift wow I love it and now am learning from you so easily... thanks🎉

In this context, a "little white lie" has the potential to kill or cripple someone, or cause damage worth massive amounts of money. Forklift accidents are no joke.

I drove a lift for years and this guy is right on the money. He explains the functions, repeats the explanations, and visually demonstrates. 10/10 job man.
I don’t have a certificate, do companies really hire if you lie and don’t ask for any proof ?
Yeah but some might ask for the certification & the main thing is safety learning what to inspect before operating
Really? How about being trained to not climb through the side with the controls!!
I wouldn't want you driving for me then if you think he's legit. OSHA gives window lickers cards these days.
@@oscarcoronado9566any progress? if your lie didnt work just say you left it at home. Next day maybe get one but say you forgot it. Never say you lost it.
I’ve had my forklift certification for years, he’s absolutely right on how to operate it, it’s good to know how to operate a Pallet too.
New subscriber I been driving a few years now and it’s actually a fun job once you get the hang of it I just shared your video with a friend that’s been OTR class A for almost 10 years now he’s looking for something part time so I shared your content to show him how easy it is! Thanks for video homie!
This man has a talent for being a good instructor. he’s very good at getting people engaged and breaks everything down so they will retain the info. That’s a trait a lot of people do not have
He didn't look behind him when backing up.
Yeah, I drive a High Capacity Forklift, and he got me watching.
i remember them training days used to be chill trainin ppl
You are very good talented instructor, thank you so much
He said driving forklifts is just like driving a car. It isn't.

Did you really operate a forklift? There is a job I really want, but need to know how to drive a forklift. If this video works, that would be absolutely amazing.
@@BehindTheGreenEyes
I’m a supervisor at my job so I hardly ever use a forklift but sometimes when everybody is gone, I need to move a forklift and it’s super easy. I don’t even need to do much with the forks other than raise them off the ground so I can move the forklift. Half the battle will be acting like you know wth you’re doing. My first time I just sat on the forklift and just figured it out.
I sat down saw a key in the ignition so I turned it on. Messed with the fork handles to right and thought okay, these aren’t making me move. I saw an emergency brake to the left of the steering wheel so I disengaged the brake. It didn’t move when I hit the gas so I kept looking around. Next step was just putting the thing in drive and I was ready to go. The lever for putting a forklift into drive, park or reverse, is to the left of the steering wheel too, in the same spot as a blinker/high beam lever is in a car.
TL;DR Step 1: Find key that should be in the ignition and turn the engine on.
Step 2: disengage emergency brake.
Step: put forklift into drive.
Treat it like a car. Keep your foot on the brake through all these steps until you’re ready to go. Remember forklifts steer from their back wheels and have a really good turning radius. Good luck out there people
I do construction and onetime the contractor asked me to move a scissor lift. I was a kid i was just an apprentice but i didnt want to seem worthless so i went ahead and hopped on and carefully figuring out the controls. It took me a few minutes to figure it out and i was able to do it with hurting anyone or damaging anything.
Could have just looked at a manual
I wish there was a way to figure out the amount of money this video has collectively made for everyone in the comments that are saying they got a job from this. Prob millions per year
I tried Today it works simple my first-time operating forklift thanks men.
Very good explanation I might start my first warehouse job soon! Appreciate the help

Absolutely nothing wrong with driving a forklift for a living!!! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
It takes ALL KINDS to make the world go 'round.
Forklift drivers play a VITAL role in making said world go 'round!!
Also: LOTS cheaper than paying back college loans!! That's your money to KEEP, rather than repaying ridiculous loans. Also: You'd completely skip the college indoctrination process, & instead learn that the world would grind to an absolute halt without blue collar workers!
Thanks Family, I needed this👊🏾 Job interview tomorrow and it's been a while since I've been on a counterbalance. Bless up, you are appreciated 🙏🏾 🙌🏾
Thank you so much sir. I am an 85 year old woman and always dreamed of driving a forklift, I do in fact have no limbs. But that does not matter. I love forklifts, they are my life and help me with my depression, I draw forklifts when I am sad, I have a forklift set as my wallpaper on every device I have, including my television. My husband, Eugene, gets very mad when I ask him for a forklift, he almost filed for divorce last Tuesday due to me cheating on him with a forklift. He told me he will get me a therapist. But I threw a big tantrum because my therapist is the giant forklift portrait in my living room. My family abandoned me because I would refuse to attend family gatherings to watch and Google forklifts all day. I can name every forklift brand possible. My husband has gotten me a "real" therapist before. But somehow, my therapist quit her job to go to therapy after I told her about my addiction to forklifts. Society runs away from me. Whenever I am in public I can not resist the urge to walk up to someone and talk about my interest of forklifts, they choose to run away but that does not bother me. I have forklift photos everywhere around my house and I talk to them about forklifts. I do not need help, I am happy with forklifts. I have daydreamed about driving a forklift since I was 4. You have changed my life. I can now drive a forklift by myself and everyone will be soooooooooo proud of me. Thank you so much.
I truly glad I can help you with you journey 😊 also where did you get forklift wall paper 😂😂

6: go forward and backwards, make sure lights work and reverse beep works.
7: unbrake and lift forks an inch or so and go
Always honk at the begin to check horn and whenever you do a turn or reverse to alert surrounds.
i just got hired for a forklift job. they asked me did i know how to work a forklift. i really needed this job so of course i said yes. been nervous as hell all day. I get on youtube to see if i can learn in 1 day. and i run across this video which literally saved me. and i ran across your comment. which makes me feel confident right now for tomorrow when i have to hop on a forklift. thank y’all so much frfr i mean that from the bottom of my heart! ✊🏾
ask if there is a daily inspection form. some states require 1 daily inspection filled out and signed, by first to use.
@@MisterSpaceLee how’d it go man

One of the best videos about how to operate a forklift ever.
Thanks @Abrahamsede I really appreciate that
🔥🔥🔥🔥salute warrior! you helped a million bros with just one vid, awesome!!!
a real king!!!!
Just two safety tips for anyone driving any type forklift. Drive backwards around corners or blind turns to avoid risk of injuring people or objects. Don't drive around with forks fully raised and loaded to avoid tipping.
I was taught to drive when unloaded with the forks ~6in off the ground to avoid catching on the floor (bad floors, bad shop)
And always honk when ur in blind spots to alarm come Byers
@@TheAechBomb Yep, also better to take out someone's shins than their dick, stomach or chest.
@@andrewdimas6878 i would also add to "flash" your headlights a few times in addition to honking. sometimes my brain ignores the honking at work because everyone is honking so often but usually flashing lights catches my attention a little more.
assuming your forklift is equipped with headlights
This comment section is about to be OSHA certified with how safe its getting XD
You quite literally helped play a role in the way my jobs played out. I went from quiting a bad place (first job), to applying and getting into a new job as a forklift driver. They knew I didn't have the experience but they still worked with me. After some while of working as a forklift driver, the owner of the company helped me become an electrician apprentice, which is what I am now. And it all started cuz you helped me gain that little bit of confidence to just say screw it and apply. Thank you man.
I love your story bro. Long as we help each other we can’t fail.
@@forkliftjoe3620 absolutely. Helped make my mentality that if someone wants to learn, I'll bestow all my knowledge onto them. Teaching can be difficult but I'm always glad to share the knowledge. Keep up what you're doing man. Helps way more people than you think. I'm so glad I was able to get this video recommended to me again so I can thank you. Makes me glad knowing you also read it. Wish you nothing but the best man.
@@forkliftjoe3620 hey bro

You the man buddy.
A health and safety officer in the gulf.. Trying to go learn a skill.. N I've chosen this forklift.. So help me God🙏
Salute
“A little white lie don’t hurt nobody” sayyyy man biggest fact in the video 🤣
Where are you becouse i want to lean it
Until that lie turns into a sea of lies, where truth can never be found.
Then I see those videos on UA-cam of people dropping pallets of eggs n shit lmao
If a accident happens and someone asks for your licence, your fucked
@@samuelsippola7025 you don't need a license to operate a forklift, you only need to be certified by your employer
I’m a truck driver and I had to deliver a forklift, when I got there to drop it off- they climbed in and removed the blocks and the guy looked at me and was like “ready to move it”? And I said yeah. He then stared at me for a minute and that’s when I realized he wanted ME to move it and I was like “ohhhhhh no no no, YALL can move it” 😂
Was a dispatcher, and drove @ times. Did Warehouse and residential deliveries, I would get get a kick out of people asking me to put freight in a specific place. Knowing that I can't go past a certain point, I would simply tell them sorry I'm just here to deliver @ your location. It's a liability issue, if you have any questions you can call the office. Knowing that I'm the dispatcher and the office was just going to tell them the same thing I did. LMAO. we're not movers, we are a delivery service. Stay safe out there!
Thank you so much bro 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I wish you a great 2024 🍻
Thanks to you, i had more confidence going into my forklift training/test. Hope everything is going well for you!
"What tilt does... it tilts" lmaooo

“Lift it down”
Currently taking notes.

@@daytopotatoh1331 but did you still??
Me too?
Lmao
You the realest dude for this. Helping out the working man with a skill that can benefit. You solid for this one 💯
That was a great explaining for everyone good job bro and I appreciate you for take the time for explain us how to use the sit-down forklift🙌🏻
1.7 million people now, in my opinion you’re an official certified instructor. preciate the help man!
Thanks Slim!!
@@forkliftjoe3620 Youre an authority on the subject dont let anyone with less teaching experience tell you otherwise.
These comments are legendary…I like how everyone is giving him his props…much respect 🫡 ✊🏽
“The forklift controls, they work just like they would In a normal car”
Said moments before disaster lol
Except that the rear wheels turn rather than the front
Where's the rearview mirror to put on my makeup then?
I start at home depot this week and u made me feel a lot more at ease about it... ty fam❤
I'm going for a job interview on use of forklift tomorrow 29th may 2024. Even though i did the training course before,i never had the opportunity to get a job on it. This video is very apt and precise for quick learning. It helped me for refreshers. Thanks alot bro!!
watching in the bathroom before I take my exam
How'd ur exam go ??
@@seetheanimal5867 I passed and got the position.
@@rayacareal that's what's what bro 💪🏽
@@rayacareal good shit bro
@@MortyFoodReviews He didn't tell you how his shit went in the bathroom.
me who already has a forklift certification: “interesting”
Same
I'm a certified trainer lol
And what do you think of this video?
@@Mandarin9900 it's okay but his load is too far from the back ok the forks. The load should be up against the carriage after removing it from the shelf area. That's a potential tipping hazard but other than that he hit all the pointers. I am a certified instructor on the 4k, 10k standard, 10k Adverse Terrain, 11k MMV, and 20k with air brakes.
@@Detroit_Q I aint certified but I could tell that the pallet was way too far forward on the forks
You Rock Joe! I feel a whole lot better about starting my new job. Good looking out my dude! I'm gonna subscribe and watch the rest of your videos.
I told them I can drive a forklift like u advised and they tried to put me on a 25000 lbs Doosan. I'm here for a refresher so I can knock em out tomorrow, wish me luck 🤞I'm moving very expensive components of the power grid at my new shop job. Thanks partner, ur confidence is infectious.
This why I love UA-cam. You can literally change your daily life with videos like this. Thank you Joe
Just like neo in the matrix. They really did predict this shit. I know kung fu
