    So, like the title says, who's is the hardest? Who's is the easiest? In-between?

    Squat twice your bodyweight to pass?

    Fog a mirror?

    Dry van or flatbed?

    The dry van one I did wasn't bad. Most taxing part was lifting and carrying 80lbs the length of the trailer 3x without my heart rate getting above 80% of max. I'm decently fit but not muscular. And my joints are creaky from years of abuse. But I passed.

    I'd rate it a 6 out of 10 for difficulty.

    I searched but couldn't find a thread that specifically compared as many of the company tests as possible.

    I searched too, nope nothing also asked a similar question, couldn't get answers. Can I ask what company you finally went with that required that kind of a test? Thanks

    :eek: Squat 2x your body weight?

    The trucking industry would collapse overnight if it was required that drivers squat 400lbs, 600lbs, 750lbs etc. Most powerlifters can't even do 600lb or more squats with knee wraps, lifting belts, and using horrible form.
