DOT Physical: I had to do another physical when I went to Swift. At Prime the only difference I noticed from the original one I got before going to Prime was the hernia check and duck walk, other than that nothing different at least for me. I didn't have to worry about BMI or high BP or anything else. At Swift I didnt have to do the duck walk or get a hernia check.

I am not worried about the physical I recieved. It was the most thorough physical examination I have ever taken. The physical lasted 1 H 15 minutes and cost me 70 dollars. The only reason I did infact get the physical was so I could recieve my CDL permit from my own state. At any rate my BMI is fine, as I weigh 165 standing "5"ft 10". I was just curious as to why, but you have answered my question. Thanks for your reply.

The fault lies with whoever decided to allow the inexperienced person to LEASE regardless of the name on the door of the truck.
Look at the process that a 23 year old needs to go through to rent a crappy 3 room apartment , but a $120,000.00 tractor Heck no problem and before the replies start polease note not knocking PRIME or anyone just posting an honest opinion.one37 Thanks this. -
Rollin Home...Why are you laughing at what this person makes? I had the same attitude from the CEO of my company until he found out I was worth more than he was through smarter investments. Personally, money is not the issue for me...just something I have always wanted to do, and never took the time to do it. Just looking for a company that honors their word, and pays a decent wage for a hard days work. If you have no bills, and haven't lived outside your means, you can live fine on 47K gross...if a person can't manage their finances...well...then that is a whole different can of worms...I know a good financial planner.
Sorry if I seem to have a bad attitude, but I can't stand when someone who thinks they are doing good puts down someone trying to make it.one37 Thanks this. -

Dude, you quit and now you want to join up with them again. I would check out your DAC report... quitting prime then Swift. You might have some negativity on there. Anyhow, I am attending on the January 4th, taking a bus from California... Dang bro, I was enjoying your post too then all the sudden... where did he go lol... something about swift... lol Anyways man good your still alive, wish you luck and hope to see you at prime.

Nothing wrong with my DAC report, Im approved to return to Prime and I will be back Jan 12th. In order to mess my DAC I would have had to drive for Swift. I have been waiting for a Swift trainier for over three weeks.
Other note: I would encourage anyone doing over the road to go with Prime just for driver comfort alone. (see my previous posts with APU'S) If you decide not to go with prime and idle be prepared for the idle tickets (not just California every state and counties have Idle laws). No idle bonus either.one37 Thanks this.
