    I went on the Rhoel site and noticed that you have to pass a pre-work screening. So if you fail it, they send you home immediately? Does that basically mean you went all the way there for nothing? I am 5'10" and weigh 180 lbs. I don't work out or lift weights. I don't know if that matters. Do most people seem to pass the pre-work screening? I'm just worried that I won't pass it?

    I'm starting to think the only way to fail the pre-work screening is to either be on crack during it, or hold your breath the WHOLE time. It's not super intensive. People just need to remember to breathe and relax. I saw a couple of big people pass it, and some thin guys with high blood pressure as well, by a fair margin to boot!

    From what I hear it's easy, one of the office personnel took it. He used to be a driver but has lots of medical problems and works in the office now. He passed everything except for the blood pressure. Most everyone does well on the test, try not to sweat it.

    Melton, do you guys hear much about Windy Hill? They're based out of Marshfield also. But I'd be hooking up out of their Central Florida site if I go with them.

    i talked to one of the Windy Hill drivers before he was worn down, driving with 2-3 logs... Marshfield to cinncinnati and back without a break... he said it was the norm but gets old real fast. I know I wouldnt want to do that... not worth my life or someone elses families life

    I thought you were timed. That's what I was worried about. I didn't know you could take your time and relax.
