Stress tests
 

Ive heard that US XPRESS has a really hard physical and they do a stress test. I personally don't know. I was going to work for JB HUNT a while back and they had you lift 100 lbs over your head. For most guys that's no problem but I barely made it having a bum shoulder!

these tests always make me laugh because I see guys driving for these companies that have bruises all over their legs and look like death...And when it comes to blood pressure tests there is no definitive answer what is too low too high or just right ...And this seems to be one of the areas of medicine where these people seem to be forgetting about biolgical individualty which means it's entirely possible that what consitutes healthy blood pressure for individual people could vary greatly from person to person ... I had friend that was an avid cyclist had a resting heart rate of about 40 BPM and BP of 110/70 he died of a major heart attack...where as I have BP that ranges from 125/70 -140/80 depending on diet and sleep And loved my steroids when in my early tewnties ...And I'm naturally prone to white coat hypertension meaning I can't relax when the BP cuff is strapped on me and it's not un common for my first reading to be 150/80 taking about 5 tries before I settle down to less than 140/80...But He's dead an I'm alive , So I guess those tests really don't point out who is going keel over .

with a masters in theology he could be a college proffesor somewhere...make some damn good green and look at young college chicks all day, man that would be rough. i think i would rather be a truck driver also.

Werner Enterprises uses a simple 5 minute DOT physical at their orientations. That is one direction to consider for him.

Hmm, last I heard, it was 60lbs, and it only needs to be lifted chest high! If it was 100 lbs over your head, they would loose probably 95% of the fleet. :? 100 lbs maybe if it was a flat-bed position!

US Xpress having any type of physical is a joke! LOL The whole DOT "physical" process takes about 3 minutes

hard physical at USX hahaha

THEY DID HIM A FAVOR!! JUST LOOK AT SOME OF THE SCHNEIDER DRIVERS 1/2 CANT EVEN GET IN OR OUT OF THE TRUCK!! SCHNEIDERS A JOKE!! HAVE HIM MOVE ON!! :shock:

DOT physical is an odd thing....depends where you go it seems ,

Where I got mine I would bet you they would issue a medical certificate

to a corpse...thats how seriously they appeared to take it.

Any company with common sense will honor your medical
cert if its less than

6 months old or so...they need not be so fascist toward their driver

applicants.

They should be honored we even apply to these bozos and drive

the rigs for them!

Yeah!!!!


:lol:

RIGHT ON ZIPPY!! 1 DAY THEY WILL BE BEGGING 4 DRIVERS IF THEY KEEP UP THERE CRAP!!! :shock:
