    How heavy in terms of physical labor we're talking about? Unloading a full truck by hand, pallet-jacking or hand-truck?

    I went with Werner and got on the trainers truck right after orientation.. i have a couple of weeks of training left and did get on a dedicated route where I will be home weekly, unless I choose to stay out longer and make more money.. as soon as i am finished with training I will go back to the terminal, get tested, assigned a truck and take the truck home for a few days of home time and to get it set up.. then I will have a mentor on my turck with me for a couple of days to show me the in's and outs of the account I am on... then I am solo and on my own.... yay..

    After your training period a lot of the big companies have dedicated accounts you can get into. Werner, Schneider, JB Hunt, Swift...etc.
