Hit 1,000 sheets of 5/8 firecode hung this year and my back feels it

I was adding up my invoices from a big apartment project in Phoenix and the number shocked me. That's a mountain of board, all on 9 foot ceilings with a lift that kept jamming. My partner joked we should get a bulk discount from the supplier. Anyone else track their sheet count and get surprised by the total?

Switched to a rolling cart for sheets and it saved my back on big jobs.

Honestly riley43, a back brace seems like overkill. Tbh I've moved plenty of sheets without one.

Tracked sheets on a hospital job last year. The total weight will mess you up. Get a good back brace, seriously.
