Not that hard if you can lift at least 120lbs hold it and lift over you're head..... Best to hit that gym before hand. Plus the hotel has one and an indoor pool to work on that cardio...
Is there a time limit. Like do u have to do it in under 2 min or something. What do u do. Pick it up off ground and put on ur shoulder then on trailer or what. How many chances u get
Back in my day they showed you how they wanted it done. They did not have a time limit. And you had to put the tarp over your head on a steel coil. Using a lumber tarp.
Weird day today... From OKC... we deadhead all the way to Joplin, MS because we cant pick up the load of lumber due to the fact one of his tarps was stolen before I got in the truck.... Get to the Joplin terminal and Im told to see someone in office, then Im told to gather my things out the truck and wait for my new trainer... They fired my first trainer for getting banned from Home Depot in Grand Prairie for arguing with receiving manager... And it wasnt the first time he did it.... Picked up a load of shingles and heading to Galveston..... Will deliver tomorrow.. This trainer seems more knowledgeable and answered alot of questions my first trainer didn't that I wrote down for an instructor, when I get back to Des Moines...
Shippers and receivers are like the cops. Its their way or no way. Arguing with them doesn't do anything but A. Banned from location B. Fired from your company as in your past trainers case C. Buying yourself some more waiting time
Been pretty busy... Second load with my new trainer another shingles load, from Houston to San Angelo, to deliver Thurs AM at 7am... Got it dropped, Pick-up at Rotan, TX... Wallboard, a Pre-Tarp load.. to San Antonio.. Sitting outside consignee, Open at 7am, get to take down and stowaway tarp, bungees, straps, and edge protectors
Ugh, Rotan...the "Dust Bowl", I call it. Hated that place. Still shivers me to think about it. But there's several places you'll find that out, tucked off in the far-flung pockets back behind God's nowhere, just out there for no reason. (National Gypsum in Pryor OK and that bentonite plant up in Lovell WY are two other places you may or may not get the "pleasure" of dealing with...haha.) That's one of the interesting things about trucking...all the places you'll find that Daniel Boone probably never even knew about, yet somehow TMC found them. Like "why do these places even exist?" Haha... Hope you're having some sort of fun out there!
