Opinions Needed - pre hire requirements

OK, so after a 4 year hiatus from trucking after 18 years straight, I decided to throw my hat in the ring once more last summer and took a driving position. It lasted about 6 months and the guy decides I really need to buy his 2001 Freightliner POS for 35K. So I'm looking again. As it happens I end up calling a driver recruiter company which I don't normally talk to. But this guy is really cool so I give him a shot and he hooks me up with a great company. Great Benefits, great pay, home EVERY weekend, new equipment. They even tell me they have, get this, " NO FORCED DISPATCH" for company drivers. In fact he said the dispatcher will offer you a choice of loads. They will even fly me to Orientation, all expenses paid. Man I'm getting excited. Then he drops the downside. "They have an agility test! You have to stand on one foot and balance for 30 seconds on each foot." Oh well what happens if I can't do it? "well they don't hire you." So regardless of how great of a driver I am or how many years experience I have or the fact I've never been placed out of service, if I can't stand on one foot, it's no dice? "yup, there's no way around this" so if I stand on one foot for 29 seconds? "then they send you packing."
Is it just me or does something seem wrong with this? He tells me to practice standing on one foot and I SHOULD BE okay. But to me that's not the point. The point is it all comes down to a career based on standing on one foot. Am I missing a point here? It seems kinda biased. I mean I'm seven foot tall. I think gravity plays are bigger part on me compared to say a driver five foot tall. Tell me what I'm missing.

 

Ok, So I'm moving on, Another company calls me. It's Werner. I've heard a lot of drivers bad mouth them but I keep an open mind. I tell em I'd like to be home every weekend, maybe something regional, or at least every other weekend. They tell me they got a deal where I'd be home every day. Not what I wanted but what's the catch. real simple you run 400 miles a day for .28 cents a mile. Um not much money, but if I can do it 6 days a week. Nope 5 days a week and you work what ever shift we tell you, no set schedule days one day nights the next, just when we need you. Oh then what happens when you don't need me? Well you don't work.
What kinda Idiot developed this job. Better yet what kind of Idiot works this job..... Not this one. Still Looking
