Yes, it was me. I did the dexterity and the road test today, and I got that pro-star truck to start working with, hope next Monday. I saw a Dark blue Mack parked, yours? I didn't pay much attention around once I was out with the mechanic to check the truck and do the road test.

Yes. That was me I work for QC but I'm there from time to time. Small world. -
I will start my training next Monday, finally, it was a long road this whole thing. I am taking a 2 week training, or more till I got the works.
Last Wednesday I did the dexterity test, it was easy , but tough detailed, I felt my muscles for 2 days, I haven't being doing any exercise for over 2 months. The road test was normal, but I never drove an international, nothing major, is just a different truck than I was used to drive (Freightliner most).
So, wish me luck, and thanks for all your support and informations, I'll keep up the tread about Springfield and how I am doing, also the tread still open for Springfield drivers and visitors to post.
Thanks.Last edited: Feb 6, 2016

Physical tests are similar, but some places may run few more tests than others. The place I went for was a Fitness/muscle rehab/personal trainers place, this place run more tests than I ever did before . I forgot the name of the place.
First, they check ur BP, H Rate, muscle movements, you can stretch before starting your test, you rest between sets to take a BP. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes.
- step up and down in a 2 foot box, rotating feet to step up and to step down, 6x reps each feet.
- raise a crater box from waist height table w/ 25 lbs x3 over your head, then 50 lbs x3 again
- walk/carrying 60lbs 10 feet and back 1 x each hand, they used a bucket.
- raise one leg and place your feet above your knee in a ladder step and raise ur body using this leg, you will use hands and other leg, x3 each leg. is same movement you would do climbing a ladder, but placing your feet on a higher step to climb.
- squat and walk sideways under the ladder/table and back, 3 x each side, carrying weights.
- walk forth and back on a soft bean placed on the ground .
- raise crater box with weights from the ground to a table, squat down grab box and place on the table, then back down, 3x - 40 then 60 lbs.
Women may have different weights, my guess. but, this place was not the usual place that run the tests for Superior, there was some mistake the day I did my drug test I was to do the dexterity in the same place and day, so they send me to this place where I met the Ronda Rousey of personal trainers and not a sweet nurse the day I did my drug test, lucky me.Last edited: Feb 28, 2016

All is good, did my 2 weeks training yesterday, but I asked another week, will be good to know a few more receivers and shippers with my trainer and make sure I got all paperwork and procedures.

Holy moly that's a hell of a test.

My dexterity test was very similar to that. They basically just want to make sure you can move normally since you have to climb on the top of the tanks.
