    To add on.... One of my coworkers is a self proclaimed "legend". He will back into any spot regardless how long it takes.

    I've seen him do it. He spends 8 minutes and about 30 pullups backing up 15 yards for a 25 lbs box just so he doesn't have to walk the extra few steps

    I know my backing skills aren't up to snuff right now. I can back as close as i feel reasonably safe doing then I'll walk it the rest of the way. I know it takes me a good 5 minutes on most backs. I'll eventually learn my own methods

    a curb plate is awesome,but don't ever let it out of your sight, your fellow co-workers will steal that sucker so fast you can't believe it

    if you only have 1 or two hand truck loads, it's just as easy and faster to turn the hand truck around and "pull" it up the curb. But if you have a lot of loads, that gets old real fast.

    Well the stop that i deal with is usually 14 cases give or take a few so usually one load with the dolly folded out or possibly 2 with it standing straight

    Went up to @Mike2633 's stomping grounds last night. Imagine my surprise to see a big buck with a nice spread running down Canal St. That's more than I saw from my tree stand this year. Hardly seems fair.
