A Day In The Life Of A Forklift-Merchandiser At Sam’s Club | Life Journeys 

Congratulations! It’s a lot better than Walmart lol.

Yes but without being on the forklift.

I work on these same machines at amazon, you just gotta take it slow and easy until you get comfortable with it. Regardless of what your supervisor says, safety is your #1 priority when operating heavy machinery. Take it slow, this way any mistakes can be caught before they happen. I'm not sure how ya'lls machines are, but ours have screens that tell us how high our forks are. If ya'll have that, use that to your advantage when pulling pallets from high racking.

@@seyo6366 Thank you. Because I work the morning shift. I got to drop pallets from the top and you only get 4 hours to do so on Fridays Saturdays and Mondays and Tuesdays. Sundays is the only slow day because we open at 10. I’m like why are yall in here at 8M. Sheesh! 😆 Some times you have to drop 68 pallets out of the steel. Mind you I have to start on snacks which is aisles 17 to 34. 37 is Beauty and protein drinks and body wash items. I’m like you gotta drop all this in 4 hours and then start putting it all back around 730 by yourself. Whew. I’m still trying to level my forks into the pallets too. Because they place pallets like the protein drinks. Listerine, and bulky cans like beans, corn, on the 3rd steel and that’s the problem I have because I’m like this is too heavy to be going all the way on the highest steel. They got gazebos, beds, deck boxes, all on the highest steel. I’m like these things are HEAVY. Why are they all the way up there? But you’re right. Slow down. Just be careful.

@@TheLittlePrayerCafethe reason why those big bulky items are in the top steel is because it is much easier to pull them off the steel compared to being in the middle. The steel fixtures can support plenty of weight. If you are having difficulty getting stuff from the top do the following: Level out your forks before going in. Raise them enough for the fork to touch the pallet after you go in. Lift very slightly. Tilt the forks back then lift up more. Finally, you back out and lower when you’re able to. That is how I train on forklift.

What kind would you like me to do?

@@LifeJourneys_RU-vid I’m actually just about to start here at Sam’s Club as a Merchandiser. This video was really helpful. But more day to day duties, what’s expected for production. Is the pay worth it? Job stress? What would you be lifting on a day to day basis? I’ve never been into a Sam’s club. I’m transferring from Walmart Distribution and trained on the forklift and the clamp. So doing these videos are HELPFUL! I will be doing the morning shift though.

@@TheLittlePrayerCafe I’ll covered that for you ASAP!

@@LifeJourneys_RU-vid Thank you 😊

$17.51

@LifeJourneys_RU-vid bro they only give me 15 and expect me to do groceries and liquor with a hand jack only

@@ByeQuazi that’s how they tried to play me but I spoke up for myself and requested more pay. Merchandiser position pays $15 and being on the forklift pays $2 more.

Omarmcis was a good time for my mom and I got a good time to
