That sounds stressful. Do you need to check this many or do you just do it because you're fast enough.

It can be pretty stressful at times but in general it's actually pretty chill. I don't have to worry about other people driving around me, I don't have to worry about hazardous materials, and I get to avoid one of my supervisors who has a skill of making everyone around them more stressed.

Especially considering the paperwork takes the rest of my shift regardless of how long the inspections take 😉

Unfortunately I do need to check all of them everyday. There's only a 6 hour gap between shifts where I work so I need to finish all of them in that time. And during the 18 hours the forklifts are in motion they're redlining the engines and doing 8mph. So basically each forklift drives about 150 miles a night.
