    Try 22 pallets of wet mulch at 2100lbs each with the nose of the trailer on the downhill side of even a slight grade. ;)

    I get 2-6 stop floor loads like that fairly frequently and I am an O/O. I actually like the exercise. No pallet jack, but then the product is much easier to offload than the palletized meat loads I used to unload.

    It isn't for everyone, but it works for me.
