Squat test USXPRESS

Well I'm tall and thin, all knees and elbows, and I can't do that stupid duck waddle thing at all! I couldn't when I was a kid, and just for grins I tried it after reading this, still no luck. Don't know why, but it makes me mad! darn it anyhow, I hate not being able to do something a lot of folks can do without too much trouble... I guess you have to be "just right" to be able to do it. Not too thick and not too tall maybe.

 

You wanna run team Daniel? Check out Storey Trucking in Henagar, AL. They are in reach of you. They are a good company that hauls carpet out of Dalton out to AZ an CA and produce back.
They pay percentage. Their web address is their name dot com. Last I heard they were hiring.

 

I would try to squat under my trailer... But they make bathrooms for that!!!

Try Osborn out of Gadsen, Al.. Last i heard they are hiring... Luck to ya Daniel.

 

Tests like this one are some of the few times I'm happy to be 5'6"!

I can understand the expectation of being able to get under a trailer, but this isn't "Beat The Clock", for cripes sake!

Good luck man...keep us posted!

 

My last orientation we had a driver that was 7'2" and 450 lbs. I'd like to see him do that squat test.

 

I wouldn't! I just ate!!

 

I was told by my boyfriend that I will have to do the same thing at orientation for Con-Way TL. After he told me that, next time we were stopped in an area where not a ton of people were, I tried it. Thankfully, even at 5'10 and.....overweight.... I was able to do it just barely. Hopefully I still can in 6 months or so when I make it to orientation! hehe

 

I have to say that there is a fair amount of proper technique required for these tests. I know that before going through Schneider's test regimen, I practiced with a crate of books in my basement, not so much to test my strength and stamina (of which I have none), but to concentrate on my breathing to keep everything else in check.

It's really easy to get out of kilter because of improper breathing. Turns out I passed with colors (though not flying) and 3+ years later, I'm still with 'em.
