Make sure it's a swift approve clinic or else you will be doing it again and paying for it at swift when you get there.
-
Yea it is its the one the recruiter is sending me to
-
Oh ok well good luck .. I know the feeling I went thru swift training also and start orientation this Monday in gary ..

If you're sugar's high, they'll send you back to your doctor to get it under control. Diabetes is not a disqualifying condition; however, insulin use *is*.
The CDL physical is not difficult by any means. Keep your sugar and BP under control, and be prepared to take a sleep apnea study if you're overweight. That's all.
Good luck!TruckerLB Thanks this. -
Well I got medically cleared for 2 years my bp was 122/80 and no sugar or protein in urine...im overweight but not obese but she ddint make me do a sleep apnea test jus asked if I get tired throughout the day I told her no and that was

I'm not overweight but I've always been borderline hypertension.
What I did the month before going in was make sure I was eating food that keeps bp down (good idea anyway).
The other thing was overdosing on dark chocolate.
The good stuff.
I hate dark chocolate.
I'm 47. My friend how was 21 went the same day I did.
His bp was higher than mine.
We both passed. But I won the bet.
Point is, get it under control before your first physical.
Your gonna get another one before you get the cdl.
Cheers -

Yup.
One of the first things in orientation is a new physical. -
That was a waste of money
