Cuz, Hey, we don't ALREADY have enough damn hoops to jump through to get a CDL!

[@doogie64]

I think you should have the toes test first. If you can’t see your toes from a standing position, you are ready! I thought the squat test was being able to determine that you don’t know squat.

[@Cheryl-wx8ty]

I think I should start practicing now.

[@schneiderjobs]

It's never too late to start, Cheryl!

[@aquafishsoup]

Do you test people jumping out of trailers? I do it all the time.

[@lomparti]

They only test for jumping out of bed when the dispatcher messages you. lol

[@Ether1501]

Thanks for the videos, I hope a can one-day I can work with you in that country ,I like the way you are explaining on how a tanker driver can be for better safe driving .

[@mnoell35]

I’d like to take this test,just to see if I’d pass.

[@davidh1927]

should not be twisting with the squat test..great way to train a person to injure their back. Hands should touch the floor on the side f the body, not the front.

[@Skibidiyesyese]

Is this how you're testing currently?

[@jefftaylor7805]

Several years ago I took the test for a dedicated job. I went through the whole test except the last one. I passed all the previous tests. On the last one, my heart rate was 1 beat too many. No job. It sucks

[@davidh1927]

Their heart rate guide is not accurate to all people..just a way to get around the age discrimination issue

[@Skibidiyesyese]

What additional testing is required for flatbed drivers? Do we have to jump into the flatbed with not assistance? Pick up a 130 lb tarps? Can you elaborate how much weight we have to lift over our heads and how many times for flatbed?

[@danielmoore1232]

The title of the video says it's only for tanker and stuff. I don't know how they could have been more clear...

[@Lee-tt2yb]

It's that "and stuff".

My DOT physical is good for 2 years do I have to retake it at orientation?

How high is the step on the step to knee for the flatbed test?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Julie. It's around 24 inches.

[@aunjelmiller4886]

Would be great if you knew how much weight you would have to lift. How much for tanker?

[@pepelepew8147]

Is the Tanker Physical just as demanding as the Flatbed Physical?

I'm trying for van driver/instructor. I shouldn't have to take this test. My regular physical is still good for 14 months

[@ryanharris9938]

Does the Cabela Dedocated acct require it. Since it is 100% no touch freight?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Ryan. Most likely not. Only select Dedicated accounts need it, mainly accounts that are more physically demanding.

[@berniedhardin9072]

I’m not loading or unloading freight for nobody done my share no more for me

[@milby5222]

Are these tests only for tanker and flatbed?

[@schneiderjobs]

Primarily yes, but there are some Dedicated accounts that require it as well.

[@patricknorman2578]

Do they still do this ?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Patrick, yes we do. There might be some different steps and procedures since this was filmed, but we still conduct pre-work screens.

[@davethegoldenboynelson2992]

If I already have my dot card I am good till 8/2020 must I still do the test I know I will have to do the drug test ?

You run your damn mouth without any understanding. Get your facts together before you start talking crap. This isn't garbage, and it's far from a joke. it's safety. It's people like you that give trucking a bad name. I think this type of physical should be standard for ALL positions. I'm willing to guess that you are out of shape, overweight and probably smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day. Trucking is already dealing with a shortage. Unfortunately there's no shortage of people like you on the road. We need safety oriented, healthy people driving trucks. "Just a drug test and the keys" smh and give me a break.

Yes it would disqualify you. I did it a few days ago. And they had a 5 pound grate with one 20 pound weight and three 5 pound weights in it. I had to lift it so 40 pounds lifting it 6 times. The nurse couldn't even demonstrate it for me she said she hurt her shoulders doing it..😒

Trucking companies are always figuring out ways to lower their insurance. Making their trucks slow as hell , cameras in the truck, tattle tell sensors, Elogs for all. Oh look now a weird little physical. I get it but when is this crap gonna stop! Personally I'd just rather take the drug test and get the keys.

[@schneiderjobs]

Most of our driving jobs don't require a pre-work screen.

[@sean7554]

@@schneiderjobs I stand corrected. Thank you for that. Regardless your trucks are too slow to get out of there own way. Thought about working for a big carrier again. But I don't want to be a nuisance out here. I See it all the time. Trust a driver to use their professionalism and go faster only when needed. And you will be more appealing to most. No offense. For example my cruising speed is the speed limit and I only go 5mph over to pass thats it. But I never cruise over 70mph. I think that makes sense now. Have a good day.

[@shanecarroll8255]

So that's nine more requirements besides having a federal license and any endorsements to have for this job should get $900 for nine different physical requirements for this job you can give it to the drivers as a bonus

Hi Shane. The pre-work screen is not needed for most of our positions. It's not needed for the following positions, Van Truckload, Intermodal, Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) and some Dedicated account and First-to-Final-Mile.

Exactly how does Schneider know the exact amount of force that is required to open a hood? Exactly how does Schneider know the exact amount of force that is required to open & close trailer doors? Also exactly how does Schneider know the exact amount of force that is required to pull on the fifth wheel lock?

[@schneiderjobs]

Hi Jessie. We can test these forces with a force gauge, which is mentioned in the video, and then use the average force typically needed to perform these actions.

[@wardt224]

do you hire people 55 or older? or is 55 too old to get hired on?

[@schneiderjobs]

Yes we do! Schneider is an equal opportunity employer and as long as you're medically cleared to drive, we would consider you for a position.

[@imadumfuq1000]

schneiderjobs so a DOT physical is not good enough?

[@hassantalib3426]

Sounds like they don't want driver's....

[@schneiderjobs]

We certainly want drivers but we want them to be safe. The pre-work screen is not needed for the following positions, Van Truckload, Intermodal, Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) and some Dedicated account and First-to-Final-Mile. These positions are less physical and strenuous than, for example, a Tanker position.

[@Cryptonymicus]

@@schneiderjobs Seems like only bulk and flatbed need the screen.

[@ludditeneaderthal]

They want drivers, but prefer if they don't pass out or cop a cardiac arrest from some pretty basic exertion. None of that looked unreasonable or particularly daunting. Most seemed a decent simulation of real world tasks a driver will actually do at least once in a while. You have to climb into a trailer to sweep it. You have to pull and push landing gear cranks. You have to duck walk under the trailer to check 5th wheel lock engagement, your brake shoes and slack adjusters. A tire chain in it's sack kind of requires those "lift and carry" test motions to find it's way to the tires.

[@mache3984]

This has been standard for years. Where have you been? Sounds to me like you don't want a job. If this is too difficult for you, then you have much more serious things to worry about.

[@MrCountrycuz]

I don’t load freight I don’t unload freight. Next!

Most of our drivers don't touch freight either and the pre-work screen is only needed for a select few positions. Schneider Over-the-Road drivers haul 95% no-touch freight.
