    Got our 9am drop off at 8am then hauled tail over Donner before the storm arrived. Got our 3pm Sacramento drop off at 11am. My reload info came across in Fernly while I was getting fuel. Dead head 435 miles to pick up a loaded produce trailer going to Pageland SC.

    I'm wore out. By the time we get empty Wednesday we will have 13,875 miles in for this pay period, and will have my Florida load to add to it. God I can't wait for my time off, even if a colonoscopy is included.

    Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys know what the physical abilities test consists of by chance? I was supposed to be in orientation this passed week but while waiting at my local bus station on it to open so I could get my ticket and board the bus, I was robbed and knocked unconscious. All is well now after a couple day stay in the hospital for safety/ monitoring. While I was talking to Sean after this debacle he asked if I was sure that I was ready to give it another go and mentioned a physical abilities test along with the UA. They are going to try and secure me another ride there other than the bus, but I told them if all they can get is the Greyhound, that I'd take it, just have my mother in laws boyfriend (local cop) and my wife sit there n wait with me this time. So if anyone knows of the test, can you please enlighten me on what to forward to please, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Goodness! Glad you're ok after that ordeal. If I remember correctly, the test consists of picking up 50-75 pounds from chest to floor to top shelf high approx 3 times, pushing a sled across the room, stepping up on the 2nd step of a ladder a couple times. I think there was one other thing, but can't think of it right now. Your bp has to stay within a certain level after doing that. Others might be able to help you further.
