    To put into terms you will know really well ... The weight they are talking about on the OTR test is about half the weight of one bag in the box coke ..

    You have to pick it up ... And squat like 3 times

    Bend over pick it up like 5 times using your back proper lift techs

    Then you got to put it up on a shelf or ledge like 8-10 times in like 90 secs
    The ledge is about chest high ....

    Then with out any weight you do a few

    Step ups on boxes
    Squats no weight

    Then they check your pulse
    Both resting / working

    No big deal I promise

    Yeah, I appreciate the input...my pain is from ulnar nerve damage in both elbows...I was taking 8 800mg Motrin to get me through my route (4 first half - 4 second half)...more of like a placebo for me -NSAID's don't work on nerves...stopped the swelling on the inside of my elbows, but not the pain from flexing and lifting...long drawn out story re: CA Workers Comp and the company lawyer and my LawDog...
