I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday. Don't drink and drive and spend as much time as possible with your family. Try to remember that the holidays are not about presents and Santa, but about God and family. But I still want lots of presents!

Thank you, batman. I too would like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes, Christmas is about God and not presents, but I too will take presents. Since this is more of a personal discussion I would like to ask everybody to write a little about themselves. Just to get to know each other a little better. I am a sales rep. for a TCM dealer (like you didn't know). I have also worked in the parts department. I take pride in what I do and learn as much as I can about this industry much like everybody else on this site.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Yeah, but if he sits on the bucket long enough they will turn into diamonds for sure.

Seriously, I have been in the forklift business for a long time in everything including new sales, used sales, accounting, parts, road tech, shop tech, dispatch, truck driver and just about everything else you could think of that has to do with a forklift business. I guess I am the true meaning of the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none." Just a note: My favorite forklift brand, Just about anything German made.

"Clark Truckloader"! I actually worked on one of them about 5 years ago. Some people refuse to let them go. If only equipment was still built to last 60 years.

Merry Christmas. I hope the New Years fork lift business will continue to PICK UP. It has been doing so since 1967 that I know off. Just finished repairs on a 1960s vintage Clark CFY-30. Favorite though is an old Clark Clipper. Fits thru man doors right into Service managers offices!!!!
