Theres just something about fishing a 14,000lb forklift out of a ditch that makes you appreciate the days your doing anything else.



This was my monday morning, hope everyone else's was better

liljim,

There has to be a good story behind how that forklift ended up in a ditch.

If my memory serves me right, this is not the first time some vehicle has ended up in a ditch.

Is this something that happens often in Louisiana or just where you work?

lol damn!
yea i wanna know what happend!
'deer ran out' - that old excuse.. lol

so my prediction was almost rite..!

upload the pics when you have time, is the forklift damaged?

considering the possibilities, the damage done was minimal. The exhaust was broken along with a few lights and a bent fender. The reservoir for the radiator coolant was also broken. Its all things we can fix that arent very expensive.

as it turns out, tuesdays arent any better





yep, those are sweet potatoes. As you can imagine, the sweet potatoes are suppose to be on the inside the building. The fork driver (different one from the ditch incident) didnt properly stack the bins and allowed them to lean toward the wall. Those bins weigh 1600 lbs each when full, the stack fell and 3200 lbs of potatoes went clean through the wall.

oh happy day......

Ok I could see carelessly miss stacking the bins but how do you not see that huge ditch?

your having a very unlucky week!
how much is that going to cost to fix the wall? Thoose sweet potatoes look quiet nice as well!

I just noticed the bus in the second picture of the ditch and forklift.

Is that the famous short bus liljim, that would explain a lot.
