So I have been searching for a new job and USF Holland in my area is hiring for linehaul. Had a great interview and completed the drugtest and then I was called and told I had to complete a physical assessment at a physical therapists when I'm ready to return to working (currently out on a medical thing with my current employer.. long story).
Does anyone know what all is tested in this? They said it'd be testing my strength for 20-40 minutes of excersizes. Does everyone have to go through this to be hired in? I am pretty weak and not expecting it to go well lol.

USF is teamsters. When I was at CEMEX, they took a certain percentage of us and sent us to the company doctor head quarters for our physical. They have offices at one of our major hospitals. I was all in the lucky group that got to go there.
You will probably walk on tread mill for 15 or 20 minutes.
Drag a weight cart up and down the hall way with like 80 pounds on it. Walking backwards & forwards ( pulling it and pushing it ).
Lift weights ( for me its usually 60 pounds ) in a box from the floor ( squatting ) to your chest, then sit the box on a shelf in front of you, about shoulder height. ( 6 Reps )
Squats ( 6 Reps )
Sit ups ( 10 Reps )
Hold your legs strait out, slightly off the ground while lying down for like 15 seconds.
Typically they monitor your heart rate during all this.
They may have a mock trailer that you climb in & get out, and crawl under.
It's no big deal. As long as your BP is ok, you shouldn't have any real problems. I don't know if they vary the weights for that company or if it's one size fits all. For us, 60 pounds was the standard. I've taken a physical where I had to do 80 over my head. Yea I was like WTF also lol.
The vision test was very thorough as well.
Good luck.road_runner and ASmallFleetDriver Thank this. -

Anybody know what kind of drug test usf holland uses an how long they go back

I wouldn’t doubt if it’s just a pee test. If they did hair follicle they’d definitely have no drivers do to them having a hard time finding them as it is. Plus YRC would have to pay more money for hair follicle so I think pee test is all you have to worry about.
Helpplz Thanks this. -
If I've been clean for 210 days you think I would pass a hair test?

Remember, their goal is to hire you, not bust you.Helpplz Thanks this.
