Wareagle, I ran a warehouse for a little while, crashes into racks was always my worst fear next to someone walking in front of a forktruck. The rack thing tho is the most dangerous to a number of people as opposed to an individual gettign hit by a forktruck. Our sister warehouse had a driver takeout a rack and the stuff thru the offices roof. Had one of the dispatcher not went outside to smoke, he would have been crushed by a 1500 lb palletized carton. His computer, chair, and the desk was all busted into little piece as was the product. I thanked God that wasn't at our place because of the office layout, more than 1 would have been at risk.

Yes-that Dispatcher was lucky --we had a incident here were a Fork Lift Driver backed into a Power pole --high tension lines touched -you could actually see flames running along the wires -knocked all our power out --needless to say we got the day off.
Boss was pretty understanding -guy did'nt get into to much trouble--nice Boss.

I don't think that is all vodka boxes or even supplies for vodka. Too much difference in the various boxes/pallets. But if so, was the operator dddrunkkkk?

Wareagle, You too eh! I had a gal run into the electrical panel one day. Took out the entire panel system. I didn't get on to her either, I was just gald she didn't turn into smoke. She was SCARED!!!!! Very little paint left on the cage of that fork truck!However the big boss wasn't so nice to her at all about it and fired her. I tried taking up for her as there was no poles in front of the electrical panel and it was a tight area they had to go thru to load/unload trucks. Kind of a short (from wall to truck)added on dock on the side of the building. Never made sense how the place was laid out.

Yes --should have had poles for the E panel. Sorry she got fired -was it a union shop -after our driver hit the power pole barricades were put in right away .

One of my bosses used to " I don't want to hear the words: 'OOOOOOOOH S********T!!!' out of anybody on my shift!" I kept that rule in mind for life. One day I was in a store/warehouse/junkyard/you name it that had the unlikely name "The Whoopee Bowl" near Clarkston MI. The old man must have had a direct link to the Flint and Lansing plants cause he used to get large rolls of auto upholstery material that were perfect matches for last year's interiors. But I digress.........


On that visit, I was in a commercial area of the Whoopee Bowl and there was a fork lift driver on the other side of the wall in the warehouse. Suddenly, I heard the dreaded 'OOOOOOOOH S********T!!!' shouted from the other side. I casually moved away and put a few loaded pallets between me and the runaway forklift. So remember those many subtle hints from your bosses

BTW anybody remember the Whoopee Bowl?
