I'm glad I'm not the only one. After almost 3 years of loading scrap into my truck by myself most times my finger joints are swollen all the time and my knees are starting to give out. I've been thinking about this and realistically, how much longer can I, by myself, lift washers and dryers and hot water tanks into the truck myself. And like someone up thread said, thats once into the truck at pickup, off the truck to break down, back into the truck to take to the yard and then offloading at the yard. I'm only so strong and I can't lift some stuff alone like fridges - especially the double doored ones. If I'm alone I have to pass it up if the owner isn't home and offers to help which most time they aren't. Ramps dont do me any good if I can't pull the real heavy object up them. My back doesn't last so long any more either
