Prime Trucking Physical Question
Topic 17268 | Page 1
Jerico, I just had my DOT physical with a Swift company doctor. Besides the usual BP, vision, etc., your physical should include some basic range-of-motion checks, like hold your hands/and above your head, pushing arms & legs against the Dr pushing back.
Nothing about squatting, lifting or even bending over. I suppose if you don't have a problem lifting 50 lbs off the floor to waist height you will be OK.
Some companies do further agility tests, like "duck walking" (getting under a trailer), but your recruiter can fill you in on this details.

State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

Prime gives agility tests...the duck walk, climbing a ladder, raising arms, lifting different weights. Admit to any issues you have and it didn't seems a problem even for people with limited mobility in some aspects.
But confirm with recruiter
