Concerns with Maverick Trans. physical test

Back when I thought about becoming a flatbed truck driver, I made a mock 90 lb tarp out of sandbags, a poly tarp, and duct tape. I practiced hoisting it up onto my shoulder and walked with it to the end of the driveway and back. When that started to become easier, I added 5 lbs of sand.

 

Where do you live?

 

Not sure if my company hires that far up

 

Wilson hauls freight for Prime. Pretty much the same Company as far as freight and company policy. All reefer. Reefer freight can involve lots of wait time at docks and flipping of your sleep/wake schedule. Some folks can tolerate it and some can't. I haul dry Van and stay on the same schedule 95+ percent of the time. I prefer to start my day between 0001-0200. Shut down between 1200-1400. Parking is never an issue at that time of day. That is what works for me. Good luck

 

Dude lose the weight first, then consider this as a new job.

 

I really didn't want to be the first one to say that. Very true though.

 

When they do the CDL Physcial your weight and BMI, will most likely require a sleep apnea test, with that being said, did you ask what the physical test consists of, and do you have a current physical card, as I don’t know if Maverick will make the drivers see their own doctor at orientation.
