    LOL I've go ya covered! I will be PMing you, probably Friday, when I find out truck assignment and first load. I am excited about this move, but also a bit apprehensive with securement and tarping. Hope you have unlimited minutes!

    Don't sweat it. Cannon still bothers me with trivial stuff.

    Its easy to lift the tarps. We have women that have passed orientation. One of the main faikers tho is the balance test. Practice on your own tl see if you can do it.....you have to stand on one leg for 30 seconds without wobbling too much, each leg. Thats usually what gets people.

    I'd rather go to Walmart than any Americold or pickup produce in Salinas or Nogales. Of course I'd rather bring out my 10' drop tarps and roll em out over a load of used oily machinery that you can't walk on before I played the grocery game again.

    Are you allowed to use arms for balance or bend you knee for stableization? Like the quad stretch in the army. Or do you just lift one leg and stand there?

    Just lift one leg and stand. Its just a basic equilibrium test, they don't want someone with bad balance to fall off tol of losd.

    Try it with your eyes closed. Not that you should be on the top of a load with you eyes closed. Unless you're scared of heights. ; )
