    A question for you drivers that are new at Boyd Bros. On your agility test how heavy is the weights or tarp that you must pick up and how high? Thanks.

    I train here n weight is roughly just weight of our combo tarps. At least last I checked. Round eighty or so n lift trailer high. Easy as pie.

    I wouldnt worry about numbers. Weight is relative to size/dimensions. I can move a 550 pound drum of oil or 800 pound roll of carpet. Ive unloaded 3-400 pound a/c units off the back of a semi trailer. Its more about technique than weight. If it was that bad then the company would have issues with health insurance.

    They do it to see ur lifting techniques. To make sure ur doin it rite is all. A lot of BS if u ask me, but its how we do it here at Boyd. Hehehe.

    I was rehired back in april and I had to pick up one of the lumber tarps. i guess about 120 lbs. put it on my shoulder and lay it on a table, then take it back down three times. also pull a weight, I think was 45 lbs to simulate the pulling off the tarp.
