    Can anyone tell me what the physical requirements during orientation are for Knight Refrigerated? What
    about the job itself? I understand they do a lot of stuff going/coming to/from the west coast.

    You see, its more of a dexterity test than a fitness test...

    You have to be able to drive through a fuel island in 6th gear, holding onto a 12" subway (unwrapped) meatball sub, and talking on a phone without a blue tooth device activated. If you spill the sandwich on your shirt, they make you a trainer, if it spills anywhere else, you may get to keep your job...the 5 second rule applies.

    If you drop the phone, they make you a dispatcher. If you drop the phone but save the meatball, they make you a fleet manager.

    No sharp turns and the stray meatball should stay within reach...just pick it up and eat it before 5 seconds expire!

    That's about what I expected! But I want to pull reefer and go west with an outfit that's big enough to offer good health insurance at a reasonable price/wk. Not sure I could pass a bunch of lifting or dexterity assessments though.

    Look in a Knight forum here or repost your question on a Knight forum. You might ask a recruiter too...no harm in that.

    Good luck.
