    are some of you people really that much of a jerk or does hiding behind a computer make you brave?

    the driver just asked an honest question and wanted an honest answer, but some of you must feel you are so much better that you have to answer with idiotic responses.

    go to the orientation driver, see what happens. if it doesn't work out as you planned there is always other options out there.....good luck in whatever you choose to do

    Goto orientation driver...If you don't, you're always going to wonder..

    Don't pay attention to these jerks on here..They are the same CB rambo's that you will hear in the truck stops or rolling down the road..Big tough guys until someone figures out who they are, then they pull their curtains and lock the doors.

    Bottom line is, you need a job...JB is offering...go get what is yours!:biggrin_25519:

    I had to do a physical assesment at Crete a few years back.

    You had to lift crates with different weights to different heights, do some climbing plus squatting like getting up into and under a trailer.

    I had to also carry weights across the room and back, then they had me push a football sled across the room.

    They put a monitor on you and would stop and check your blood pressure and heart rate.

    They have a formula for the heart rate.If the blood pressure or heart rate goes over their limits you fail I believe, not sure if they do it again or not.

    I went to a JBH orientation and experienced this first hand passed my physical and all the lifting stepping etc etc tests but because my neck was 17 inches they gave me a 4 month med card and because I didnt want their Ins I had to pay for it out of my pocket. Told them thanks but no thanks and left. I always told myself I'd never work for company like this (BFI) but was offered a DCS position but it all worked out in the end.
    found a job wit great company that pays like I have never been paid before, treats their drivers like family.:biggrin_25520: funny how things work out

    I have seen some pretty HUGE drivers out on the road, I am sure all of us have. Sometimes you wonder how they even move.

    I agree with the guys, Just go and see what happens. I work for JB and its not as bad as people make it out to be.

    If it works for you its a good opportuninty, If not keep looking.
