Good luck Tuesday.
My other half got his start in trucking at McElroy many years ago. He says they required the ability to walk around holding a tarp up in the air, above your head. Not sure it that's still true, but be ready, just in case.
Yeah, that's definitely not true anymore.

You're from Nacogdoches? I was born and raised in Chireno.
Small world.
Agility test is mainly some balancing test standing on one leg, walking a 2x4 etc. then you’ll do some drills to simulate squatting and checking under a trailer and folding a tarp. On those just remember breathe slowly and maintain your heart rate. You’ll probably have to lift tarps of various sizes and place them on a shelf or trailer. That’s about it unless they’ve changed it up recently.

Appreciate the reply!
I passed, signed a student contract with them, and they're sending me to Career Trucking School in Tyler starting March 4th. I see you're from Tyler as well? If you're a driver trainer I'm hoping that I end up on your truck seeing as I'm 10 miles away from you!

CTS is a good school. That’s where I went. We even have a driver that parks there on the weekends.
I'm now starting school on Feb 25th instead of March 4!
Congratulations! How did this develop?

Hey all,
I'm going to Alabama on Tuesday to do my paperwork/agility test/DOT testing for McElroy. I had a few questions for you veterans/people that work for McElroy.
What does the agility test include? I'm not too worried about it, I just like to be prepared.
Have any of you been a part of their student driver training program? My recruiter told me that I would be in Tucsaloosa for school for approximately 3 weeks, then onto a driver mentor for another 6 weeks. I have no experience driving trucks, but I'm willing to learn and excited about the opportunity.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
