Disabled Vet needs advice

I have a job currently, however physically/mentally it is becoming too demanding. I am a disabled vet however I have passed the DOT tests. Am getting divorced and don't see my daughter anymore because of political crap and my ex...but thats a different story.. 5 years ago I was accepted and just about made it through C.R. Englands training and was all packed to go to SLC, until a glitch in Indiana DMV records showed a previous accident they had not accounted for...

So anyways, my biggest question is...(I KNOW TO AVOID ENGLAND NOW)....

I am looking to get trained by a company and looking for a low % of self unloading......help please I don't have a perfect driving record so I pretty much know that Schneider is off the list....

thanks guys.

Ok let me rephrase, I can do some of the unloading, but like anyone else, I have good days and bad days....I looked into Roehl after reading some stuff on here about their National Van Drivers, so we shall see....

If anyone else has any input on a company that is truly 90% hands off freight, I would appreciate it..

Trans-Am has a no touch policy for there drivers.
you are NOT allowed to touch any freight!

CFI/Conway truckload would be the one I would choose. If that was my criteria for being hired.

I can only recall unloading 2 or 3 trucks during the time I was there (almost 3 years). And one of those was a load of mail...all small packages. It was placed on a feeder belt that extended into the trailer. And they provided a man to help

I seriously doubt they even touch freight at all now.

May Trucking is also 90-99% no touch. Only things we touch (so I'm told) are nursery loads. The downside to those is, they can be an experience better left to your worst enemy.
If you work Western 11, you won't get tasked with one of those loads anyway.

If the others, mentioned above, don't tickle your fancy, see what they say at May.

At Conway you will get the occasional nursery load as well that is hand unloaded but other than that, I never touched a box with them. It was all live load/unload or drop and hook.
