So What Its Free Training (SWIFT)

I am new to the trucking thing and leave in 2 weeks for school for central refrigerated. I saw you said people didn't pass the physical, is this a really strict physical? How does it work? What would make you fail? Just curious because I have never heard of some one failing a physical but as I said am new to the world of DOT. thanks

 

aint nothing free at swift except getting ripped off I made the mistake of going there for my first job and am still paying the price four years later .

 

Ripped off? Did anyone force you to go work for Swift? You went on your own free will...didn't you? How did they rip you off? It always amazes me to read comments like this.

 

Well, let's see--if someone promises you one million dollars per year and pays you one dollar per year...if they say you'll never unload freight and every single load is fingerprinted...if they promise you a chery W900L/86" Studio and you wind up with a 9600 IH....I'd say that's being ripped off.

Is that clear enough, or do I have to re-explain using a sing-along and hand puppets?

 

Seems like there was always one at every orientation I went to.

 

i understand but i just want to see the hand puppets and sing along..............

 

Oh pulease. Sounds more like someone bit off more than they could chew, and now it's some company's fault. Deep down inside they know they made a mistake but want to place the blame everywhere but themself. I say Boo Hoo to those people. Nobody is forced to get into this line of work, or work for a certain company. Even your hand puppets know that much.

 

An awful lot of people have high blood pressure, but it's controlled with meds. Will that wash out a potential driver?
