Reply #9: Even worse: people driving without licenses [View All]

[Jimbo S]

Last place I worked it was required to hold a valid regular license in order to have a job driving a forklift. We needed another forklift driver on second shift, so the plant superindentant stood outside the employee parking lot before shift change and wrote down names of the guys driving to work. He had a list of 15 names, then he went to work.

This was the typical conversation:
Boss: "Hi. How would you like to drive forklift instead of doing what you do now?"
Employee: "YES!"
Boss: "Do you have a drivers license?"
Employee: "NO!"

Turns out only 1 of the 15 had a valid license.
