Hello everyone.
I got my class A 2 days ago. When I was a teen I was in a hit & run and one of my legs doesn't handle weight too well. I am 240 lb and yes I need to lose weight. I know. I spoke to my doctor regarding this and his best advice was don't do any surgery and lose some God #### weight!
I had no clue where to post this.
What jobs can I do that don't require me to lift? I thought I could do that for now while I get myself to a healthier state. I recently saw a " Rolloff driver " pluck a dumpster on the side of a road. It wasn't parallel to the sidewalk and he just started ramming one of the corners and denting the back of the truck. Um does he have to do any lifting?
Thank you, I appreciate your time.
Too fat or injured

Many trucking companies are driver no-touch freight. Some line haul companies are drop & hook.
Where is your location and how old are you? There's no maximum age for truckers, but there are minimum are requirements.
Did you graduate from cdl school?road_runner Thanks this. -
I am 26. Reside in the " traffic cesspit ", also known as Brooklyn NY. I paid out of pocket for school.
morpheus Thanks this. -
Also I want to say I don't want to drive a class A vehicle yet. I mostly did the Class A thing so my family would be proud of me.

Lol what.

Try some courier or expedite services for small package deliveries.
Panther Premium is one of many. Google for more names; there's dozens of these companies in NYC. Panther hires new cdl grads for cargo vans like this one in the picture.

Just thinking about his leg.
Best case-electric tarp-he wont have to get out of the cab-all his controls are right there in the cab.
Even drop n hook,hes walking,operating landing gear,climbing in n out of the trailer,loading docks,etc.
Im remembering when i drove a dump truck(electric tarp) heck-it was a cush job-brought my lunch in my little playmate cooler n only time i left the cab was to pee!
Also-in constuction(north east) usually shut down for the winter n collect unenjoyment.Gives his leg a rest for a few months.
