Lower Back Pain in the Morning?

I am 220# now. At 5ft 9 I should be under 180. I used to suffer the saggy middle sore back syndrome. Then I quit working as a mechanic, and became a trash-collector for 11 hours a week. And bye-bye backpain. I hand-bomb every bag into a 12 ft tow-behind trailer.When picking up from the passenger side, instead of walking around the pick-up truck, or the trailer, I go over the hitch. I do this by supporting all of my 220 pounds with my arms, and with my ab-muscles, lift my legs together at the same time, up and over the trailer tongue.
When I first started doing this it was as good as impossible, so I went one atta time in a sort of walking motion.And often my arms could not support the 200 pounds that I was at. Now 4 years later, chucking 4500 to 5000 or 5500 pounds a week,occasionally close to 6000 pounds, it has become a natural motion.
Here's the kicker ;
I chuck this weight in two 5 hour shifts which includes delivering it to a landfill site, where I dump it hydraulically. The actual chucking time is about 2.5 hours per day. Then I do very little physical labor for 5 days until the following Wednesday. Guess what happens when I go back to work, that's right; even before I start my shift, my back is complaining just a little. But about 20 minutes later, everything is normal.
I have come to believe we humans were created to work and to walk, and that if we sit around too much, it ain't good for us. So, I got me a 70pound dog, and I feed the bugger a little more than necessary, Fiber wise. So he needs exercising twice a day. I make sure that I walk him, or bicycle him on at least one of those occasions, and we go for 2.5 miles usually.
Problem solved.
But no, the weight is not coming off; thanks for asking.
I heard Abe Lincoln could sign his name, at arm's length, with 50pounds hanging off his wrist ; well, I'm not that strong yet. But man am I glad not to be wrenching anymore.
So I guess the point is; strong abs helped me. I'm sure if I lost 20/30/40 pounds it wouldn't hurt either.
Oh yeah, as to the bed; I can sleep on the floor if I want to, or in a chair, or pretty much anywhere now, in fact, sometimes I fall asleep ty
