Certified Forklift Operator

Jeremy Shofner

Summary

Currently Verified with an official Forklift Operator Safety Certification in Classes I, IV, and V: as of July 7th. 2022, I successfully completed the training program at ALTA: Material Handling, given by ALTA Trainer, Mr. Jeffrey Hauser. I became familiar with the operation and handling of these vehicles at a previous employer. I used a stand up, 3 wheeled two motor. I have a total of about 5 years of experience operating several forms of lifting vehicles safely and without incident. I consider myself a good problem solver, who believes that a cluttered workplace can cause a cluttered mind. So, keeping the workplace clean and organized, along with any other processes that would fall within my area of control, would be kept neat and always organized. I try to hold myself to a high standard in all my chosen career paths. Especially when it comes to good ethics, integrity and setting a good example in the workplace. I believe that treating your coworkers with kindness goes a long way to foster better communication amongst your coworkers. And in my experience, it usually leads to a more positive workplace as well as a more productive team all together. I understand that effective communication is the key to running an effective and efficient workplace. So, I strongly believe in the adage that, "the dumbest question, is the one that you don't ask." So, you can depend on me to communicate well. And ensure any task will be done to the best of my ability. JEREMY M. SHOFNER Forklift/Powered Industrial Truck Operator: Classes I, IV, And V
