A E Boggs Training focuses on industrial safety training of a variety of different lift trucks to certify lift truck operators in accordance of OSHA regulations. Regulations state that all truck operators must be certified in order to operate any industrial lift truck or work platform. They go to your facility or job site to train your staff. Their training consists of videos, demonstration models and lectures on safety. They start with a class session then proceed to an obstacle course to evaluate each driver’s operational skills. Certification includes a wallet certification for the driver and proof of certification for the employer. They have been training and certifying drivers for 25 years. You can contact them at aeboggstraining@gmail.com or 408-472-3155. Finding what drives a person and developing a passion can come early in life or later — everyone is different. Years may go by before setting down a professional path that just seems to “fit.” Such was the case for Paul “Lufo” Cilluffo, founder and owner of Lufo’s Auto Detailing, located at 6468 Automall Pkwy in Gilroy. When a customer steps through the doors of Lufo’s Auto Detailing, Cilluffo makes sure he or she leaves with a proper education of the detailing process and confident that they selected the right package for the right cost. Paul’s staff takes the time to talk to customers about what they’re looking for in maintaining their cars. They make suggestions on what package they offer to fit their budgets. Give Paul a call at 408-846-0909.
