I am getting ready to start the millington academy in june i was wondering what the work well program is and do they still make you lift the weights and clime the ladders. Also why do they give you another dot physical when you go.

When I was there in Jan 2010 they had stopped doing the work well. And yes you will get another physical and drug test when you get there.

If they do the work well it will consist of lifting 50 pounds in a crate from the ground to chest level repetatively. If you want to qualify for flat bed it's 75 pounds, pulling and pushing, carrying 50 pounds across the room a few times, and climbing a the equal of getting into a trailer. I did it when I weighed 430 pounds so if I could do it anyone can. Thankfully I weigh much less now.

Heard through other sources (not saying how reliable) but the work well program injured a couple who took the test...back injury...and another law suit on the swift waiting list is being presented....
Now who would have thought that suing Swift would get anything but a long waiting line? -
