    I worked in a small warehouse the summer before I got my degree. It was just the manager, me, and the delivery driver. We sold air conditioning units. Small ones you could move on a dolly and big ones that went on roofs of businesses. I had to move those with a fork lift with no previous experience. I would get the forks within a couple inches of the unit, get off, see if the forks were at the right height, change the spacing of the forks, etc. Sometimes I'd have to repeat the process 2 or 3 times before I was satisfied. Then I'd get back on and creep forward until I could pick it up. My boss would crack up with how slow I was. Thankfully we typically just had to load 4 or 5 large orders in the morning, then the rest of the day was spent putting up incoming inventory where speed didn't matter.

    Quoted from Gexchange:

    They won't do that. maybe to a garage if you are lucky

    Not pin related, but I have a side business selling DVDs on eBay and Amazon. One time I ordered a liquidation of about 60000. They came on an 18 wheeler with no lift gate or anything. They're in boxes of 30, so 2000 boxes. Me and the truck driver unloaded them by hand to my garage, with him parked in the road so we had to walk up my driveway with each load. It took over 2 hours. He had me sign a thing for his boss saying why he was there so long.
