    It's about risk. Injuries on the job and workmans comp claims are very very expensive.

    A company has every right to lower their risk exposure by doing thorough physical exams. It's really no different than choosing not to hire a guy with a lot of speeding tickets or accidents, the same basic philosophy about risk exposure.

    These tests are subjective it seems. I bet your personal doctor said you're in great condition. These companies may get the type of doctor that just wears the white lab coat lol
     
    Aamcotrans and Lonesome Thank this.

    You might be right. Ever wonder where the guy that finished at the bottom of the grade average in medical school went to work?

    Ok an examiner can tell if you are faking it trying to pass the physical test pretending that you have upper body strength that you don’t. Weak biceps are really easy to detect.

    Decker sent me home too. Apparently, they take a dim view on one feasting on another recruit.

    Well, excuse me for not living! There’s just no way I’m passing up a nice Kentuckian. They’re just too flavorsome.

    Probably didn't do the proper warm-up routine. This individual demonstrates a good warm-up routine ...
