    Hello all. I am curious as to how w&s drivers deliver the furniture into the stores. I have to assume you are provided a fork lift or some kind of motorized palet mover. I'd think moving a 400 pound couch would be really difficult just by yourself.

    I made 3 drops today... One had a dock, one had a forklift, and one was a street drop. Not a big deal, really. Now, getting into and out of some of those spots...

    Good Greif! I carried 400 lb bull quarters on my shoulder to the dock and hung them on hooks. Toughen up!
