Go to orientation in Dallas 11/7/11

Good Morning everyone, I'm a newbie and have orientation with U.S.X. scheduled for Nov. 7 in Tunnel Ga. any help or heads up would be great. Thanks

 

What kind of physical and/or physical abilities test should I expect? Congrats, Todd210908!

 

Thank you!!!

 

So many drivers have discussed at length the entire process here, Read the other USX threads. I doubt anyone has the patience to retype it all. Best of luck to you. I love this company.

 

Yes, almost half the fleet are manuals now. All of the new trucks are manuals

 

Thanks.....Will do...

 

I remember one of my instructors saying that training in dallas would be on an automatic and laredo would be stick is this correct

 

Searched the threads, couldn't find anything current on the physical abilities test. Any current help?

 

It is really not that hard. You step up on a ladder to prove you can get into a truck, you do the duck walk to prove you can get under the truck. You lift a basket with, I think, 85 pounds in it a couple of times. You then carry the basket down the hall and back three times and they take your heart rate each time. They have a device that you put over your head and push on the wall to measure your pushing strength and then do the same and pull. Takes about 5 minutes to complete all of this.

 

Thanks! I appreciate it...
