I drove forklifts for years at Vegas conventions. We had a lot of female
operators. When a person is an operator, they either make it, or they wash
out quickly. They don't let bad operators run for very long. Many a
person, both male and female got put on a horse out there either by knowing
someone or blowing someone, and with their first ****up, they were ground
pounding again. Most were screened by mandatory drug testing before they
ever got on the horse, and then mandatory in case of any accident or injury.
It was one of the few jobs in the place that was performance based.

Horse? You call a forklift a horse? When I operated them
we used to call them bulls. Like this one...

I loaded barges destined for Alaska out of Seattle, for
about five years. 80,000 pound capacity.
