    A very long 3 day job interview... don't lean up against items on the hill, stay awake, and follow instructions. Even if they sound stupid. They are testing your agility, mind, and can you physically handle the job. No U turns of any kind, and NO sitting duck either.

    Thanks a lot for the heads up. I see where some of the others get weeded out now. Lot of lazy folks up there. On guy got out to smoke while taking turns on the shift track and stayed out leaned up against golf cart in shade. We went around like three times they had to make him get back in truck.

    Day 2 is over so far so good. On Med hold for a neck surgery I had early last year. No big deal have to get an xray and do a lift test. Other than that everything is going good. Was first in line for piss test and was last to pee. Got in there and couldn't go. Company seems like a good company to start a trucking career.
