Thanks everyone for their advice, I'll check out those videos as well, I am a little worried about the backing but not so much the unloading. I worked in the backroom and unloaded trucks twice a week. Around Christmas time every truck was full to the door. Light stuff like clothes, heavy tools, snow throwers, tvs etc. One person in the trailer the rest sorting or dollying out treadmills and furniture. I hated that job but I kinda liked unloading the trucks. And like Brett said heavy stuff is supposed to be on the top but you'd still 40lbs garage door openers or 120 lbs floor jacks hugging the ceiling. Not to mention the 300 lbs pool tables and elyptical machines.

I'm sure its rough though, so I dont know, but the money is good and I really need the money.

Dm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

TWIC:

Transportation Worker Identification Credential

Truck drivers who regularly pick up from or deliver to the shipping ports will often be required to carry a TWIC card.

Your TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric card which acts as both your identification in secure areas, as well as an indicator of you having passed the necessary security clearance. TWIC cards are valid for five years. The issuance of TWIC cards is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.

HOS:

Hours Of Service

HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.

Again careful on that money don't decide just on the money you are a new driver. You better be ready for that labor my advice is get a belt with lumbar support I got one from walgreens for 30 dollars bet well worth the money, get a gallon of water to sip on while in that trailer, and bring plenty of snacks and protein bars.
