This has been the worse week of 2015 for me

Three days ago my shitty little job got shittier when the scheduler decides, "hey, you have too much overtime. We're dropping you down to 32 hours haha". I was doing 65 hours a week. Now I get no overtime and just barely considered full time in this horrible state.
Now, after running errands, the front right tire on my car goes flat on a mile and a half long no shoulder road. Ruined the tire walls but at least the rims good...
Fuck it all, I'm going to look into getting forklift operator training.

I love forklift driving! u should do it.
I have had a similar thing happen to me right before 2015. We had all this overtime, which was sweet for $$$ then in-between holidays I was on "on call" then I lost 4 hours out of 8 cause I was on call. But I didnt have to work that day (never got called) but still, losing hours sucks!
Especially when you are broke.

Daaaaaamn! 
Thats the way to go. They have good pay.
I could see how it could get repetitive, but driving a forklift is a lot of fun. I wouldnt mind too much

I hear ya.
the forklift i drive has the transmission shifter on the steering column.
I make the mistake of hitting the "reverse" by accident when i turn the steering wheel too fast. Its really annoying.
Also, i always stall the propane-powered forklift. I miss the electric forklift days. Those were the best.

the electric ones are awesome.. we have one of the stand up hysters that you can turn up to rabbit and zoom around everywhere.. all fun and games until someone forgets which way to turn the wheel.

Yeah man. I prefer the electric ones because then the exhaust isn't choking you all day... Although they're a pain too and usually have those weird , hard tires...

Changing the propane sucks.
Ive seen so many times were the forklifft dies like in the worst spot, faaar away from where the tanks are held.
I wish they had a pressure gauge that went to the dashboard. Electric rules. Plus, that exhaust stinks when u idle for a long time.

one would think they would put a gauge on there just like the electric ones.. that would probably be too easy.

I think it can't tell how much propane is available since its all the same pressure in the tank and doesn't operate with a float or anything. The only way to avoid this I think would be with a 2 tank / split line system and an optional flow valve for either tank. Like, you'd run out of gas and just open the other one and flip the lever.

I know, i guess they dont wanna put a digital sender unit near the propane tank.
But nothing different than a sender unit in a gas tank in a car. Not sure why propane forklifts are so behind the times 
Someday, they will fix it...

possible that because the propane is flammable in all states, unlike gas where the liquid form is not flammable.
who knows man.
watch just cause we are talking about it im gonna have to change the damned tank tomorrow
