Diary of a New Swift Driver

Now I'm scared because I wear glasses! How was the eye exam administered? Did they use the HOTV CHART FOR 10 FEET? I think there are four lines on that thing. Did you have to be able to read all of the lines from 10 feet?

You say the physical is tough. What made it tough? Just trying to find out what I'm in for on December 14. Keep us posted Gold_Miner.

 

jesus man..if they are really that upstight about prior work history I may be in trouble, Ive worked my main job for 7 years, and for 2 years before that I had a main job, but i have always worked off and on at part time jobs to get by..I didnt list any of the part time stuff becuase #1 I dont remember them all and #2 I never worked there for more than a few months at a time..

 

I was under the impression that the 10 year work history was for those who had a CDL already and had worked as a trucker.

 

I think I'll do fine on the eye exam...20/40.

I need something from a doctor about a sleep Apnea before I go? I don't even have a doctor and no idea what sleep apnea is.

What's an inverter and do I need to buy it before heading to San Antonio?

My recruiter is supposed to email me some stuff this coming Wednesday. Hopefully it will answer some of my questions. Thanks for all of your help Gold_Miner.

 

10-year work history for all. 3-year driving history for CDL holders.

 

An inverter is a device that converts the truck's DC current to AC so you can plug in things like a computer and such. No, you will not need to take one with you.

 

Thanks Gold_Miner.

 

Good to know. Thanks.
