    Seriously how do you get boxes off when there is no room at the back of trailer. No forklift just driver and a ramp.

    If you're talking food service, you pretty much gotta set your ramp up and start carrying or tossing cases down. We don't work out of the back, but sometimes the side doors are stuffed to the edge. Our loaders are not supposed to stack it so high that the first few cases can't be reached from the ground, and they're usually pretty good about that. Once I make enough room to push my cart up there, I start making reasonable stacks and go down the ramp backwards until I have enough room to turn around.

    Do you at least have a pallet jack? A lot of times you just have to break down the pallet to lighten the load, and then pull it out. I had to do many times when I did straight truck residentials.

    High reverse gear and service brakes. Unloads them every time if you have the doors open.
