    Nope, not on the reefer side. They'd much rather have you take a nap if you don't have to be on dock to supervise someone else doing the loading. Cuts down on workman's comp claims - and you're ready to run when they're done. The flatbed guys do their own load securement, and tarping. Tanker guys have to be there to load/unload their stuff.

    It takes getting used to, no doubt. One of the many adjustments you'll need to do is dealing with your weight, and getting enough exercise.
