    here is my issue with this...i didnt have an extra $70 laying around to get another physical right after I got one as required by the DMV. if I had the money I would have gone to Swift..but I had a set budget for this CDL $#!t and TWO physicals wasnt in it......BUUUUT its not MY LOSS though. Swift is the one who missed out on a hard working, dedicated, loyal long term employee. I understand they do it to protect their own ### but I feel like the physical should have been paid for in advance by Swift. im sure they get a nice discount if they buy them in bulk. and they make BAGILLIONS of dollars sooooo...WHY THE STUPIDITY!!!!!! if they can verify it that would be easier...or maybe what "MJ####" said is true

    Sometimes a company will check for other items than just the minimum requirement. You'll see that more often when the company is self insured. They're looking for problems that may pop up down the line.
