    mje,

    There aren't too many OTR drivers who have to unload. With Swift, you had to unload if you were on the Family Dollar dedicated account, and that is all I ever heard of. Then again, a dedicated run is different from an OTR run...so I guess that doesn't count!
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Perfect example keep everything close and here's a video I found only thing that was close

    .[/QUOTE]

    I reviewed the images and watched the video. Honestly, I don't see how any truck driver that Sysco already employs was able to pass the lifting exam when it came to 50 and 75 pounds because I saw a few of them when I went for the interview, and let's just say they weren't the most physically fit specimens. I just don't see how someone can lift that much weight above their head without sliding it up their body or placing their hands the way I described...but whether I can see it or not, I guess I'll have to figure it out if I want the job.

    Thanks again!
