I bought a 10' x 12' tool shed and only one man showed up to deliver it. He drove the truck, unloaded the shed, and placed it. The man did it in a matter of minutes all by himself. All he asked was where I wanted it. I was amazed.

My first job was cutting telephone cable off those large metal reels. This was back when the wire was copper with a paper insulation and all the wires were sheathed in 1/8th thick lead.

I seem to remember that we had an average of 12,000 pounds to a reel. I learned how to move the reels around by myself with just a crowbar or 2 by 4.
