Profile For Ralph B.

Thanks for the info guys. I haven't put any real stress on my back since surgery, so now i need to decide if it's worth taking a chance on taking the 1000 mile drive to find out or wait and strengthen my back a little more first.

Hey guys, so I'm exploring a career in change to trucking. I was a cable guy and end up herniated a disk and took two surgeries to correct. Long story short, I am now cleared for work with no restrictions but my company wants to take me out of the field and put me behind a desk. I have been in the field for more than 11 years and cant imagine myself doing a desk job. Even though I have been cleared for work with no restrictions, I haven't really stressed and tested my back since my last surgery this past February. Before I got hurt, I was constantly climbing ladders, pulling lines working in crawl spaces, moving my ladder of about 70 lbs, installing 50-60lb battery backups, sometimes while on ladders. So I had the strength to do it then, but it's now been over a year since I've done any of that. So my question is what does a new driver agility test consist of? More especially with Roehl if anyone knows. I plan on taking my CLP test next week and Roehl is looking for me to be in GA in July. If anyone has any input it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ralph
