    Exactly what Tazza said. That is what my recruiter told me and since IL didn't need one for the permit I didn't bother. When I got there they didn't ask to see a medical card or anything, just lined everyone up for the whiz quiz and physical. Save your money and go eat at the steak place next do or with it or something. Also I would suggest when you get to Memphis on Monday sit in the 1st row towards the left, that way you get done first and don't get stuck waiting forever in line waiting for the drug test having to hold it. You will get it over and done with first and have a couple hours to just chill and meet your new classmates or more time to get anything faxed over from your doctor if needed.

    I know this cause I am finishing up my road training this week and take my CDL test tomorrow. So far all has been good with Swift except one thing, the way they taught us to do the 45 deg alley dock is all wrong and gets you in some bad habits. Learn to do it without looking out the window, at least in IL the do not let you for the cdl test and if I pivoted where Millington taught me I would fail the test every time cause the back end would go out the right side of the box. Good thing the road guys are really great and know exactly what the state is looking for. Good luck with your schooling.
