    I do roll-off on occasion. My training was being shown how it works and where to go. I guess they assumed I understood physics.

    The most challenging part is either getting to where the roll-off is on the site or getting it loaded/unloaded at a customer without catching any overhead wires/gantries/trees/etc.
    You never know how heavy you are until you are already loaded and at a scale. Be mindful of weight, but you can't necessarily leave some behind to get legal.

    And, yes, you can find yourself with your steers in the air if you don't get the balance right while loading. This is bad. Review your physics primer if you don't understand why.

    Unloading can be messy:

    yeah, but as someone already said, it beats riding the couch.
    You develop this habit.
    Called "Eating."
    Jobs help with that.
    No discouragement here; do whatever it is you have to do.
    Good luck.
    (Just do me a favor, and don't eat while doing it.)
    I'm gagging thinking about it.

    No need to gag. The banana was still in the peel and he was holding it with elbow length rubber gloves. Banana in one hand scrub brush in the other. Will never forget it.Lol.
    During the the construction boom, 1995-2005, in the N.Va DC area, college educated IT graduates we're pumping honey and driving dumpster trucks and making 100 grand a year. Certainly nothing to sneeze at...so to speak.

    I have a 2 year IT degree so I must be qualified to pump ####.

    Maybe. If you interview well. Idk. Just saying what I have seen. If pumping #### pays better than your degree then who's the fool:D

    Lmao.... That one is beyond me. There is only one thing in this world that triggers my gag reflex - and that's cleaning up someone else's #### (I've had to do it - years of social service work prior to driving).... before anyone makes a BJ joke: I haven't tried it; it's off the menu.

    But, I do always think of this where it concerns acclimation to the smell:
    'French toast dipped in ####.'
