    What exactly are your concerns & are you looking at Watkins & Shepard van or flatbed? Answer these questions & then maybe some on here can help.

    You have to take a physical at their doctor and be able to lift to differing heights upwards of 65 lbs, not sure of the exact weight. you also need to drag a heavy ### box loaded with 120lbs +/- along the floor. basically they need you to be able to physically hand unload a sofa or a heavy hutch or dresser from the trailer. If you think you cant do it, dont bother applying, they dont really make exceptions on the hand unload thing.
