[QUOTE="MKinOntario, post: 313660, member: 8655"] God, you're almost family, then. ;) I think it was because I was "always available for overtime", and it was summer, and vacations meant they were constantly shorthanded, so they brought me up to speed on tow motors and forklifts. The foreman just handed me the keys, told me which levers did what, and then said "unload that truck over there". It was on the job, seat of the pants, training. I did a lot of weekend shifts (Sat/Sun) and stayed late night/early morning until dawn, after production shut down. However, I did my share of manual unloading muffler-tailpipe beds, and other stuff that could be done manually, and that stuff was back breaking. Spent time in the tire room briefly, and the paint shop, in summer, and the heat was stifling. Used a little electronic depth gauge doodad to measure paint thickness, and then accept or reject them if out of spec. Can't recall all the things they had me do, but it was many. I rarely had to go to OAP for anything, maybe once or twice over 3 summers. I recall it was darker (spookier) than OTP. [/QUOTE]
