Swift Physical

1. Lift to chest height (Note weight gets added during reps on all)
2. Lift to head height
3. Lift to table height
4. Carry back and forth
5. Step up on ladder (simulates climbing into a trailer)
6. Wall push (100ish Lb's)
7. Wall pull (100ish Lb's)

Can not exceed max heart rate per age. 220-(age)x.9= MHR

I don't recall how many rep's of each but it was at least three per weight setting and I think nine rep's per exercise.

 

Ive been out off the road for all most 3 years now will be taking physical in late April .Ive never heard of wall pushing Ive never had to do this what is involved ?lyion

 

i havent had a physical in 3 years what i had to do was .1] do 25 jumping jacks ,up and down a box for 60 seconds , do a color chart ,do a eye check , check urine , check blood check blood pressure ,check ears throat mouth nee check with a hammer ,i think that was it oh and check weight and higth . i no at the doctors office in Richmond for swift they do things my doctor doest do id go to my on doc just before you go there and show them you just got your physical i wouldn't take There's .as long as its with in 30 day's to 60 days going for the interview . if they said you haft to see there doc i'd tell them no here's my papers if you have any question call my doc if they wont except that i'd say buy ill just go to a nother company .

 

But if I remember correctly that physical is more to help them determine if you are able to go to the flatbed devision if you should decide to in the future. And you get a DOT from one of thier Dr.s But then again that was a while ago that I took it...

 

Its for vans to but flatbed drivers do test with more weight.

 

In short its a scale with a bar on it hooked to an eye hook in the wall. Then you pull or push depending. It simulates pushing or pulling a pallet jack around.

 

if you wont to drive 10 -11 hours in a 62 mile an hour truck and then unload it for penuts go a head i wont.! the law says you dont haft to,. just tail gate it, its all you are required to do..! most companys will pay a lumper up to $300 to unload a trailer some time but they will only pay you $60 may be a litle more but remember your hired to move freight from one location to a nother not unload the load .once you get in the dock its up to the company whos receaveing it to unload it the freight is theres then its there job to move it if they wont it . i drove for a company that if i wasnt unloaded in 2 hours and had a oppointment i was told to tell the receaver that if the load was removed in 2 hours i was to shut the doors and drive off the property and call dispatch and they wood call them back and tell them the price has now gone up and if that didnt get there atention that i wood be told to take the trailer to a holding fence and a bond wood be put on the load and the load wood then be put under lock and key and there wood be a a lean put on the load and they wood haft to pay a big bond charge to the shipping company for hold up to apointment contract .this i fount out first hand i couldnt beleave my ears listning to my cell phone on speaker phone with a company that woodn't unload my truck .it a deterant my dispatcher said, for holding up trucks that couldnt make other on time pick up and delivery .this was a true story that took place in 2003 with B RIGHT TRUCKING out of ohio.

 

They want to see if you can push start a truck so they dont have to call for roadside assistance LOL.

 

Just simply wow... WTF is this anyway? No form no context nothing to do with anything I wont even touch the amount of misinformation in this. My god are you drunk?
