I think this is the best path forward and I support you fully !
Whatever it is that keeps you from getting into the back of a trailer is surely limiting you in many other ways including decreasing your lifespan.
The older I get , the more important I realize health and fitness are
Any companies out there willing to hire someone that can't climb into a trailer?

And, really, if you can climb up into the cab you should be able to climb into the trailer.
Left door shut so you can use that as a handhold, the DOT bumper has steps on the right side so you can step up.
And if you can't step up 12-15 inches... -

I have a strap right inside the trailer and mostly use arm strength to get in and out since my knees are bad, although I can manage without it, very carefully using the door the same way. Only have 1 door open if you need to enter the trailer so you can pull yourself up with the other.
So, while it's a common company requirement to be able to enter a trailer, it's far from being something that will make the job impossible. Especially since the ADA wouldn't allow a company to refuse hiring somebody that was rruely disabled and thus unable to climb into a trailer without using other equipment like a ladder.Last edited: Dec 2, 2022

But in that vein, perhaps bulk might be a good fit. -
