Planning on attending the phoenix acadamy, do you need to have your physical done before leaving for the acadamy or do they do it there ? shneider made me go to a clinic near home before they would allow you into the school, just curious if swift does the same.
Swift physical ?

The recruiter should be able to tell you that along with whatever else you will need to have with you as far as paperwork
This should help you some

The physical they'll have you do is weird, but company policy. You have to dress up like Olivia Newton-John, prance around the room in spandex and leg warmers and lip sync her song " physical "perfectly, or you won't pass. It's odd
, but mandated.

1. Show up with an a DOT physical, paper work dated within the last 30 days by a Swift approved facility. In the past Concentric was approved, not sure these days.
2.Most people for the academy just got their physical on site in Phoenix at the driver development building. I saw more than a few people be sent home because of a high blood pressure reading. If it's over 140 and you cannot get it below that, you will be sent home. -
Your recruiter may tell you to go pay the $80-100 and get it on your own, that is what mine did....
Then I show up for school and see half the class getting it done for free!
She also told me if I elected to go a week early to a License class.. Swift would pay for the test.
NOPE. You still pay for the testing fees!!
It may be a good class if you want help.
I choose to go home and do it myself. And showed up to the actual drive academy with license in hand.americanmadetrucker Thanks this. -
The reason I ask, I don't want to get caught up in this guys situation. They dumped him on the side of the freeway because he didn't get the proper physical done, Can anyone explain what he's talking about here ?

Sounds like he is the victim of BOTH... an overzealous di.p.s.h.it recruiter, and his own inability to properly research.
I mean the guy can take and upload video.... But he some how never took the time to Google the basic questions and find these forums??
I don't have the first clue on YouTube accounts or uploading video.. But found theses forums in 10 minutes ALMOST 10 YEARS ago! -
