    All you got to do is see the senior guys at Foodservice on the shuttle bids. They can barely walk or bend over. Not all but most. I fell when I was Foodservice used my hands to brace myself strained the crap out of my wrist. Dang freezer side door catwalk. 4 yrs it's still weak as hell. If your looking at being home more LTL linehaul or Fuel. But it is nights. Not much physical work. Believe me if really Big guys who can barely get out of the truck can do linehaul you can too.

    Sorry about your "accident" at work... Gotta be extra careful doing this job... Anything like that can put one on workers comp for a while... :biggrin_2552:
    Thank you very much for the info... I don't think I would do food service or beer... :biggrin_25512:
    I'm reading some about intermodal... seems to pay well... Well... not really sure about that yet... But drivers say they can go home every night if they want... Don't know why I haven't ever seen a female doing intermodal... :biggrin_25513:

    I've seen women doing Intermodal here in Cleveland, Intermodal is pretty close to city work. right now business in Intermodal is kind of in a soft spot for the moment.

    "In soft spot..." I guess food service... and beer will always do well no matter what...

    Beer, and pizza! Get yourself a job delivering to one of the big pizza chains. (Don't actually eat that crap, just deliver it. Make your own pizza, it'll be much better!):D

    There's a company based out of Columbus, Ohio named RDP Food Service they are a local food service company that has a small drop lot in Cleveland they run doubles and I think hike a straight truck up to Cleveland at night there not very big, but they specialize in "Italian Food Specialties" you know what that means? There core business is all pizza shops and were talking local chains and big volume mover local chains. There mostly in Columbus, but they do have a couple sets of doubles and a straight truck here in Cleveland.

    All that heavy flour, and 6-10 cans and if they have customers that buy frozen dough then you have all those sacks or cases of frozen dough from 4oz-28oz.

    I'll never forget watching Hillcrest Foods accidentally drive that pallet of 28oz pizza dough right off the back lift gate of one of there trucks flipped the pallet and electronic pallet jack right over what a mess.

    I suppose though I've done it to not with a pallet jack, but with my wheeler I've driven a couple loads off of the ramp.
