Sports Medicine group doing testing on truckers

A Prince George kinesiology company has started to do pre-employment screening for some trucking companies in the area. Accelerated Sport and Spine is doing testing to see if candidates for trucker jobs can do the physical demands required for the job. Owner Davis Rodrigues says they are working with the local companies who are seeking new employees.

Rodrigues says they are testing for basic physical demands needed in the trucking industry. He says the test gives the person a score and the company hires based off a relative score.
