    I have a question about Hansen & Adkins. It says on their list of qualifications that a driver must be able to lift 100 pounds. Do they make you do a weight lift test? If so, is this true for all car hauling companies? I'm asking because I'm seriously thinking about doing this line of work.

    I work for a company where we were required to lift somewhere around 50 or so. We had to do that in a 5 cycle test in 5 minutes. It was one of the 4 or 5 exercises including climbing a ladder and slinging a strap around the one of the steps from ground level.

    It really wasn't that bad. I hardly broke a sweat.

    We had to lift the weight in a small plastic crate.

    It was done when I tested for my medical card for them. I had to renew it but had another year left on my current one at the time.
