Fresh out of CDL school and have orientation in Alabama this coming up Monday w/ Mcelroy truck lines. I have some questions about the agility test. I have no problem with lifting tarps, climbing on and off trailers etc... I have heard you have to stand on one foot for 30 seconds which is something I know I can't do. Will this disqualify me? Should I call off orientation? I'd hate to drive 12 hours down there knowing I might fail. Looking for advice

CDL:

Commercial Driver's License (CDL)

A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:

  • Any combination of vehicles with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26,001 or more pounds, providing the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the vehicle being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing another not in excess of 10,000 pounds.
  • Any vehicle, regardless of size, designed to transport 16 or more persons, including the driver.
  • Any vehicle required by federal regulations to be placarded while transporting hazardous materials.

According to the Flying Firemen (what a name for a trucker) the following link, on this website, describes the Mcelroy agility test. Info is 9 months old and does state 30 seconds on each foot. If you cannot do this and it is required I would contact Mcelroy directly and find out for sure.

Talked to the recruiter today and she said that they did away with that portion of the test. Proceeding forward with orientation starting Monday! Wish me luck

Hi Mark,

How did it go? I'm on my way to Cuba for testing on Tuesday.
