I am new to the trucking industry. I am scheduled to be in orientation on Monday in Gary In. My question is in regards to the pre work screening to see if drivers can handle the physical activities. I guess I am a little nervous because I am a big and tall guy. I watched the video demonstrating the various tests. I can do the squats and the climbing activities. I can't however do the test where you squat and go under the trailer, because of my height, I seem to hit my head. I can go to a knee and get under the trailer with no issues. Are these tests a matter of doing them exactly as they show? Is it do all of them or fail and they send you home? Thanks in advance for your help.

gmore442...I am not a trainer...but I took the Pre-work screen last week after completing the CDL school. We were allowed one hand to balance on the ground. We were NOT allowed to balance by touching the truck. Being tall, you may have to lean a little forward to complete it....but I do not think it will be a major issue. Good luck!! I should note...I am only 5'9".....but I still think you can do it.

That info is very helpful. Last question... was the step step, kneel kneel done on a flatbed or box trailer? And were there any handle/rail that you could use? Thanks so much for the info!!!

I took it in Marshfield. It was a flatbed with one handle. They ask you to maintain three points of contact during the procedure. You will end up on one knee on the trailer, then reverse to get down.
