My band for school did a fundraiser and we sold over 1600 cases of citric fruit so from 6:30 until almost 9 I was on a truck unloading about 20 pound cases and now i can't lift my arms without them shaking and hurting and I can't grip and thing witout them shacking and my hands all cut up.... any way, is there anything I can do to regain control of my muscles, or should I just let them rest even though I will be lifting them again later to deliver?

You can massage them is about all. When you are done delivering, check muscles of google.

Physical therapy
"Stretch and spray" technique: This treatment involves spraying the muscle and trigger point with a coolant and then slowly stretching the muscle.

Every time you strain your muscles like that, you are damaging them. Weight lifters build up to a level where their muscles can repair themselves faster by constantly building up their muscles. However, you should let your muscles repair for now so you don't damage them further, and so you can go back and lift more boxes.
Do weight lifting exercises to build your muscles so you can easily move 20lbs boxes easily.
