    Now i got one stop on Wednesday i believe its a pizza hut. Parking isnt an issue but the back door is in front of a sidewalk that is lifted a foot off the ground with no ramp any advice. Im thinking about bringing a small ramp

    Isn't your job to load and unload? Your trainer needs to get off his high horse. His job is no better than yours. Are your moving straight truck or short trailer?

    Ok, it's too early to be pushing into tight spots. Forget what I said untill the trainer is off the truck, it will be much easier then.

    If you have bays I don't think you need a ramp. Just a dolly.

    That dolly is great at going up ramps or even an incline. Problem is some stops have no incline just a sidewalk so you're forced to either unload everything then reload or strain yourself trying to lift the loaded dolly a foot off the ground then pull it onto the sidewalk

    A dolly will go up big curbs or walkways just lay it down and pull.
