    Go slow as you can, breathe easy as you can to keep bpm in check, relax as much as possible. Stressing out is just going to raise your heart rate. Good luck with your physical & agility test.

    If your rate gets too high they give you a short rest period for your bpm to drop within their limits. If it fails to drop enough you fail, if it falls enough your test continues. They monitor this through a bpm belt you’re wearing. Be calm, controlled pace & you’ll PASS!

    Awesome. I’m almost 100% you’re good lol. Those tests must be like $500 for Dot. Little too much but I guess it protects them from preexisting ailments..

    What exactly did you have to do? Have thought about DOT from time to time which is why I am curious. I live near one of their locations.

    Had to lift a crate of weights up and down on a shelf, take weights off a shelf and put it on the ground. Bend over for a min and squat for a min. It wasn't as bad as I thought but it got my heart pumping.

    Sounds like simulation of unloading your truck and stacking product. What kind of weight? What was the max weight in the crates?
