    I tell ya though, after slinging out probably 30-35k lbs worth of pallets I was feeling it. Felt good though. If I was a trucker I'd probably unload myself as much as possible. Be great way to stay in shape.

    Usually the rate contract says something to the affect of “no driver load or unload” . But in the flatbed world I think that’s more of a suggestion.

    Problem with unloading yourself, as @D.Tibbitt and @jamespmack know, is that one arm gets bigger than the other and your grip strength is amazing in that same hand. ;)

    Fortunatly we have made it past the jealousy stage and have moved into the "pick a fight about #### that happened 6 years ago" stage
