Funny that you're in the West Coast. We're neighbors, small world. I worked for WTL over here.
G-Town- Thanks for the heads up. It's good to know. I just want to get back out there. Because of my inquiry here someone must have sent some feelers out for me because the last two days my e-mail and phone have been bombarded with job offers. But alas, I had to turn them down. No Class A yet. So who ever you are thanks.

If you registered for school and gave them your email the job offers are most likely coming from there. I don’t think Brett has a “Facebook” type of algorithm set up...yet😀

Robert, contrary to your concern; although most of us do deliver freight, the majority of it's no-touch. In my 5+ years of running Walmart Dedicated, I have only touched a Pallet Jack about a half dozen times, and that was only to assist the person unloading with heavy pallets set on the very end of the trailer. Even so, it's not a requirement of the job, it was my decision to help.
No worries,...unless you sign-up for a Dollar Store type of account, it's rare that you'll be required to do any physical unloading of dry van or reefer freight.
Good luck.
Dry Van:
A trailer or truck that that requires no special attention, such as refrigeration, that hauls regular palletted, boxed, or floor-loaded freight. The most common type of trailer in trucking.Reefer:
A refrigerated trailer.
