Thanks Ducnut. I’m age 36 but still in decent health. While I fit right in with most drivers in that I’d rather not touch the freight, but sometimes “to earn next level pay, you gotta do next level work”.

There are some physically demanding jobs such as being a power lineman or joining the military. There are actually physical abilities tests required before being hired on, and it’s a good idea to prepare physically before trying to get hired on at such a job. I’d be willing to physically prep before getting hired on at a trucking job like this.

If "you rather not to touch the freight", food service ain't for you....Up and down basement stairs with a 2 wheel cart, rotating the stock in the cooler, dealing with grumpy kitchen staff, it's all that and then some.....

Not if it’s OTR. I only want local. A night or 2 a week in a motel is tolerable, but otherwise I like being home everyday.

In Douglas GA? Good luck with that. Find a local grain guy or whatever. Dude, in case you hadn't looked at a map lately, you're in the middle of nowhere.

If you are strictly "local"..."home daily"...& "no-touch freight"....then you should look for "shuttle" jobs in the food service sector.

I was 38 and pretty stout, when I started. In 5yrs of ramping 80K-120K pounds of food per week, my body is shot. I had 5 surgery procedures, in 2010. I regret every one of those pounds I delivered. I hurt, every single day. Just holding a steering wheel all day hurts. You have no idea what all those motions of your joints and gripping all those boxes and hand cart will do to you.

The ad on Indeed indicates that the job is located in Douglas. Also, I’ve lived in this area all my life, but I wouldn’t say it’s completely in the middle of nowhere. While there are no big cities nearby (no complaints there), there are several other towns not far away. Usually within 20-30 miles there’s always another town.
