    There are some medical conditions, if being medicated and are under control and monitored......they will give a pass. It shows you have been under the care of a doctor for this condition. It all about company liability and insurance regulations.

    Maybe a pumpkin driver can tell you what their goal heart rate is for a female.

    The heart rate formula is 220 - age x .9

    That is the maximum your heart rate can go to during testing.

    That looks like a calculation for maximum heart rate and heart rate reserve, but I thought the calculation number for females was slightly higher, something like 226, but maybe Schneider or these work fit doctors use a diffierent standard?

    I think Schneider is a great team company........but its good to have options, investigate Conway truck load as well. They are a good teaming company as well.

    so i went to the doc today and instead of putting me on meds he said to just do my cardio treadmil everyday. i just got done with my run tonight and i actually stayed below 148! ive been drinking only water and i got on sni website to look at the test. i did the step test, the squat test and the 30lbs above head and carry test all below my target heart rate. i think if i keep it up everynight i will be good when my pre hire comes and im sure i will feel healthier than ever!!
