On the 29Th I'll be at Phoenix to do Orientation with Swift. Tomorrow I'll be going to do My DOT Physical in Houston, TX. My recruiter told me I can do Now or do It in Phoenix Monday Morning. I'll do it here in the morning of Tuesday the 23rd. One less thing I have to do in Phoenix.
Other then being overweight ( working on dropping weight now ) and little out of shape, I'm ready to go.. I'll post again when I come back and let everyone know how it went.. Good or Bad...
I'm also hoping to luck out and get a Mentor ASAP after Orientation. This way I can order some stuff for the Wife for Xmas... I'll also take My camera so I can take some pix..
On the 29Th

Good Luck !!!!
Keep us posted !! -
just an fyi even though i had a medical card dated a week before i went to orientation and everybody else had valid medical cards. they made all of us get a dot physical with thier doctor. the reason they gave us was that "all dot physicals are not created equal". if i was you i would save my money and just wait till you get to pheonix for your physical
-
This will be from a Swift Doctor. Swift is sending Me to the place to have it done.
-
That will be fine, same thing they had me do and it was ok.
-
There were a few in orientation that already has theirs done when I was there also. They didn't have to do another one.
-
Kool, I can't wait to get there... What is everything they do at Orientation? I know going over paper work, but what else.
-
First day was sitting around..alot...Physicals, drug screens, some road tests, the other 2 days, videos more road tests, more presentations, log training, etc. Then you will have 2 day extra days of flatbed training.
-
So since I'll be going to do Physical/Pee test Tomorrow. My First day will be sitting, road test, paper work. Second day videos, road test again(?) presentations, log training, paper work. What about Third day? I know Thursday & Friday is Flat bed training..
-
Didnt have anyone that did a pre drug test, everyone had to do one of those. Third day is more videos, comdata card issue, paperwork, driver code and in my orientation bus tickets home to wait. The Jake Brake cafe had good food I thought. The first day they buy you lunch "Arbys" then the other days they gave us $5 tokens towards lunch in the Jake Brake Cafe, so a burger cost out of my pocket like 85 cents.
