    Mind your surroundings

    I've been working in a huge 5 story warehouse this week and saw something interesting. The tow motor driver claims he ran through some water causing the tow motor to slide sideways, crash through the elevator doors and fall 1 floor and land on top of the elevator. He was lucky and only broke 2 fingers. I'm just glad he wasn't on the 5th floor when this happened. It could have been a lot worse.
    Be careful out there.

    I use one everyday and have been licensed for over 15 years. If you don't respect the fact that your driving 5 tons of force with a powerful motor you will eventually have an accident. I've seen a guy dump a pallet of fruit from 15 feet in the air because he was too lazy to lower his forks.

    Just the other day one of my boys at the construction company I co-own was using one of the excavators and absolutely clobbered a company 2015 Chevy 3500 we had. I was NOT happy. I didn't fire him but he got a helluva scare.
