[QUOTE="pickup, post: 621052"] Nice post hurricane. It think it will be cost prohibitive to test every driver. Based on this link:[url]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090311111002.htm[/url] I think the trigger for the more costly testing described above is going to be obesity: Body mass index and a few other factors such as waist size. if you are over the threshold, you are going to be a candidate for the more intensive testing. I stated somewhere in another post here that the charts are a little off. though i might have been wrong for 167 for 5'10" as being the threshold limit for obese. I saw that scale today at the duane reade and they had different weights for a given height depending on "frame". I would be more than little curious what those numbers are going to actually be. It may be that those who are on the cusp may wanna be like college wrestlers and "make weight" by not eating too much a few days before the physical and make sure that they have a good "movement" before hitting the physical. This shouldn't affect the package car drivers because they don't have c.d.l.s and are generally not heavy. Feeders, oh boy. Heavier with c.d.l.s [/QUOTE]
