[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1322340"] Yeahhhh, it's normal. It doesn't really go away, you just kind of adjust to it. For me, at least. You gotta learn little tricks to minimize the strain. Things like using a pivot/spin move to use your own momentum to scoop smaller, heavier packages into your "power zone"; wedging heavier boxes between your upper torso and upper thighs when stepping into a high-step truck, using leverage to just let your legs do nearly all of the work; letting gravity pull heavier packages off the belt without crashing them to the ground (a controlled fall, you could say). Also, use handrails (or just grab onto :censored:) to ease the load on your back and legs. Took me a while to figure out but after a week jumping in and out of trailers one peak, I friend*in' love me some handrails. You do what you gotta do, man. Make the job easier and you'll last longer.
