Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to my warehouse physical assessment appointment? ↓
Wear comfortable, breathable athletic clothing or work pants that allow you to stretch and squat deeply without restriction. You must wear supportive, closed-toe shoes—preferably athletic sneakers or steel-toe work boots. Avoid jeans, skirts, or open shoes.
Can I still get hired if I cannot lift 50 lbs easily? ↓
It depends on the specific warehouse role. Heavy-freight fulfillment centers often view the 50 lbs benchmark as a strict safety requirement. However, many light e-commerce facilities focus on smaller goods where speed and dexterity are more important than heavy lifting.
What happens if my blood pressure reads high during the clinic physical? ↓
If your blood pressure is slightly elevated due to interview nerves, the clinician will usually let you sit quietly for 10 minutes before taking a second reading. To keep your baseline steady, avoid drinking energy drinks, coffee, or smoking nicotine immediately before your appointment.
Do warehouse physical assessments include a medical background check? ↓
Yes. The medical examiner will ask you to fill out a brief health history form to check for pre-existing conditions, such as recent spinal surgeries or severe joint injuries, that could put you at risk of immediate harm in a heavy labor role.
