    its like an endurance test, they check your heart rate while you move a metal crate around filled with weights. Its no big deal. There other tests but can't really remember

    Thats only something you can really answer for yourself.. If ya don't mind your current work and the $500 is worth it then I would go that route.

    On the other hand if you are really wanting to get into trucking for a change in scenery and don't mind a possible paycut, then by all means follow the dreams of driving...

    In my case if my current boss offered 500 more per month I'd most likely still go with Swift since I am just totally burnt out on the work that I do and the company ain't all that great either...

    Thats the only way to find out for certain if it is something that ya will like or not !!

    I have to confirm with my recruiter on Monday on my start date but I believe the 10th is when I'll be there also in Lewiston.. so if that is where ya are gonna be I might run into ya there !!
