Going with SWIFT...

Don't know what kind of trainer you have but my best friend is a owner op and a trainer for swift. He doesn't graduate a student unless he thinks he can handle the open road so not all of them are training just for the money.

 

ok what could fail you on the medical exam?

 

What I worry about is something like blood pressure, but my bp hasnt been sky high since I left my wife.... Go figure.... connection hmmmmm =0)

 

BP 140/90 or higher, mental issues, heart problems, diabetes, a hernia, missing/disabled fingers or limbs, bad hearing or eyesight, certain arthritic conditions if not controled....

It's a long list. Why you actually see disabled placards inside trucks, with all the physical requirements, is beyond me.

 

I thought having mental issues was a prerequisite.

 

It depends on the issue.

OCD, Confusion, Senility....Gooood
BiPolar, Schizophrenia, Multiple Personalities....Baaaad.

Wanabe, don't be afraid to call and rattle cages. In this company, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So squeak!

 

Maybe he called and they put him on hold?
