DeniseC.,

Where did you go? I hope you have succeeded in you training with Roehl and quitting the smoking habit. It seems like you started a thread and we slightly hijacked it from you. Send us an update with your training and good luck to you.

I haven’t tried out for Roehl although I wanted too. I went to the website and realized that the physical requirements I wouldn’t be able to meet. As I get older; I need employment that require me to drop a load and pickup. I wouldn’t meet Roehl’s physical requirements and they don’t have other opportunities like drop in and pickup. I can handle the other tasks of landing gear, coupling, tires, etc but I don’t want to have to move shipment items unless I’d use a driving forklift not a hand one ( hernias)

So your first post you ask a woman who is just starting out to team?

This is the typical creep factor that scares women from trucking.

Derrick, please go use a dating site, not our forum.

Many companies are no touch or very little touch freight.

Some accounts differ. For example Dollar General accounts involve the driver unload each stop, repeatedly throughout the day. The backing is hard enough for a newbie.

In almost 4 years i pulled off 2 very very light pallets and both were at Amazon. Prime does have a floral division which requires the drivers unload by hand, but this is teams only, and although is possible during training, one just needs to explain it to their trainer. i have never done a floral load, neither as a trainee or a trainer.

This recalls 1 job I use to have where me an another guy use to unload these barrels from a semi... man that was over 13 years ago. Who runs the Dollar General accounts??
