    Yes swift does a apnea test most companies do now. And also if your going thru the swift CDL you'll have no choice what fleet you go in dry or reefer




    Why does everyone keep saying rash? Does he have gout? If so he will need to see his own doc..

    Any doc that doesn't is negligent. Lots of problems can show up in the feet that indicate problems elsewhere in the body. Swollen ankles aren't always from strain or being overweight. They can indicate congestive heart failure. I've seen people who have ignored their black toes and never knew they had diabetes, only to have those toes amputated.

    The easiest physical I've had was BP then the eye test with him standing in front of me asking me to cover one eye which I didn't have to do because HE WASN'T LOOKING! lol
