Wait do they not provide DOT physicals at orientation? I was under the impression that they did this.

In WI you need a physical to get your CDL learner's permit. You need the permit before going to Swift Academy.
They do give all new students a physical on the first day, but whether that's a DOT certified thing or just Swift's own thing, I don't know. Whether or not you have a medical card, you still take the physical. -
So if I don't get a physical it's ok as long as I have my permit?
-
rotten it is part of requirements before school ask ya recruiter for approved swift facilty in ya area
-
I had neither a physical nor a permit when I showed up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed for training.
But things might have changed since then. As Tazaaa says, ask your recruiter. -
I just hope I can get in to see the doc this week. Time is running out.

Ok, just talked to my recruiter, and he said I didn't need a medical card, not even to renew my cdl permit which expired months ago. He said that's handled in Millington.
Rotten Thanks this. -
cdl permits are required for millington according to 36 page info book my recruiter sent me and even said medical card required as well
-
They can't "handle" another state's permits in Tennessee. They tried to do that a few years back, and the FBI said "No likey".
The bottom line is, it's easier to get these ducks in a row before you travel 600 miles from home.Injun Thanks this.
