DOT physical question

Get a physical on your own at another place such as CVS Pharmacy or anywhere that's authorized to give a DOT physical. They're cheap; on average $100.00 or a little more or less.
CRST will accept an outside physical for their school, then you only have to complete an obligation of maybe 8 - 10 months and you can leave if you want and debt free.
I would call CRST and say you got a physical on your own and will they accept it, just to make sure they haven't changed the rules.

Otherwise, you'll have to get the sleep study done and it's not cheap. www.rpmhst.com is a website for sleep apnea supplies.

 

Guess I misunderstood; thought you failed the physical.
I don't know what Swift policy is on that. Are they going to let you attend school on a 90 day card and also assist with the sleep study?

 

Don't know about the academy . Swift usually takes current physical with long form

 

Seems fair.

 

Thats how I read into it.Sounds like theyre trying to get it Documented so They can sell him one of those Expensive Hannibal Lecture Sleep Machines ,complete with the $140 a month chip reading .What a Money Grab.Only a Trucker would put up with this Crap?

 

Their a no chip reading fee with a sleep apnea if a driver has it.

I would say it all depends if Swift will take an medical card from another doctor other then their own. I guessing they won't because of a possible liability plus with possible sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea test is pain but not big deal. If a driver does not have it then they are good to go.
