Should I take this job?

So I was offered a job with L&W supply which was which is owned by ABC supply. The job posting says 27-34 an hr and they said it's a union position. The interviewer called me and said most of the job is physical, and using a drywall boom. I'd be delivering things like drywall, roofing supplies, steel framing and "other supplies" which I don't mind. I currently work in construction but I guess what im trying to figure out is exactly how physically hard this job is and trying to make sure I'll have the proper tools to do the job

I'd take the job just for the chance for the company to pay for Crane Certs honestly. It's also M-F. I worked for a similar company years ago.

You lift the bundle of sheetrock onto the 4 wheel cart,roll it into the house and unload it.

There's a reason these positions get unionized

I haven’t worked for them, but I deliver to ABC and L&W and from watching them load their trucks it seems like most of it is just typical flatbed work minus tarping. Maybe at the jobsites they’re having to individually unload and load certain things, but I can’t imagine its much more physical than throwing straps, winching down loads, moving individual items occasionally, etc.
