Ohh ok tractor guy ..i went on swift posting and saw comments on 1st day called work well here is what they said I just did it today!

First you have to step up on the second rung of a ladder 3 times. Next you have to pull 100 lbs. push 100 lbs. then the fun starts. You have to do all of this 3 times

lift 30 lbs from ground to over your head lift 50 lbs from ground to over your head lift 75 lbs from ground to over your head lift 85 lbs from ground to over your head

lift 25 lbs from waist to over your head lift 50 lbs from waist to over your head

carry 50 lbs 50 feet carry 75 lbs 50 feet

and they check your heart rate after each task and it has to be below a certain level based on your age.

It was a pain in the *** especially at 7 am, but everyone in my class passed them all.

After we did this then we did the drug screen and DOT physical.
