Dexterity test is done by third party, they hook up a heart monitor and you do physical tasks like lifting weights. Heart rate is based on your age, go above and you are done until you can get the heart rate down. It's easy and doesnt take long. Best to do drug test, physical, dexterity test all on the same day if possible so as not to drag things out.

Springfield isn't a bad terminal at all, usually busy there. I live in Maine (Auburn terminal) so I occasionally pop in over there when running system.

 

Do any of you guys have a link to the video for that dexterity test? Looked around superior's website and couldn't find anything.

 

I couldn't find the video, but I took the dexterity test recently. You do a step up & down test, then lifting & carrying weights, climbing, crouching, pushing/pulling, & balance. All these movements mimic what you would do around the truck & trailer. Really easy stuff.

 

Appreciate that update, I am scheduled Wednesday next week to take mine. Should pass with flying colors since I do all of those moves now. Hopefully you didn't fall off the balance beam lol. What did they do with you after passing the dex test?

 

I started training about a week or so after that.

 

Just wanted to add for my dexterity test they used a 2x6 about 10 foot in length. Walk down and back, forwards and backwards, pretty simple. Also for my situation the process was slower, start to finish was 4 months.
