There was an ad in the paper for a forklift driver job. The posting emphasized that there would be preemployment and continuing drug testing. All, at the outrageous pay rate of $8.00 per hour.
I worked for a forklift dealer for almost 20 years. It is my experience that forklift drivers tend to come in three varieties: bat shit crazy, drug crazed or both.
So just how in the hell does someone expect to find a "normal" person to drive a forklift?
Really, if you want a safe forklift driver; this is what you do. Hell with the drug test. Drug free forklift drivers are more rare than spotted owls. Give a personality test to candidates instead. This is sincerely the best thing you can possibly do. A non-crazy person, smoking a joint while driving a forklift, is safer than a completely sober paranoid schizophrenic.
If there is someone who is neither crazy or fucked up as a opossum in a blue barrel, they are worth their weight in gold.
