    Well I'm curious, this is probably a weird question but being that tmc is own by military vets and they want to make sure you're fit, ready and willing to work for their company, will they have you work out as well, like make you run miles, do push ups, etc.

    There is no requirement to work out. The hotel at orientation is a nice facility and does have a weight room with machines, hot tubs, sauna, and indoor pool. You will have to demonstrate your ability to lift and carry a lumber tarp, and climb up on trailer only using your arms. Exercise is totally up to you, but is a good idea unless you are already in good shape.
    The lumber tarp is about 100 pounds and must be lifted from the floor and carried on your shoulder to a trailer, set up on top of a coil, taken back off the coil, removed from trailer, and carried back to your starting point.
