    Yep. You pay for them via payroll deduction; I believe it's spread over a couple of weeks.

    This medical or more so the original one that you took pre school. Did swift pay for that? I ask because my doctor can do one for me but I will have to pay for it. If I don't have to if I use there doc I might as well go to them.

    Swift paid for my pre-Academy physical. I had to use their doctor, though.

    Yes, I tested out in Greer, SC and upgraded to solo. I just got home for my first home time since starting orientation. I was issued a 2013 Volvo. It's blue, and very dirty and used on the inside. (130989) I'll put up a better update soon, just enjoying the time with my wife for now.

    Congrats!!

    i just will never understand these folks trashing out what should be a relatively new truck. I've had 2 brand new Volvos..a Silver one and a Blue one. I washed them every chance I got at terminals, wiped the wheels out to keep them shiney, and swept and dusted regularly. My Volvos still had plastic on the passenger seats and I had a seat cover on the drivers side. I never even took the plastic off of the mattresses !! That's how I handed them off to their next driver, complete with all the manuals, extra keys etc. I keep my new PornStar just as clean.

    My truck is my second home and it just baffles me that people can trash them out so bad inside in a very short period. Makes me wonder how they live at their REAL home.
     
    Rattlebunny Thanks this.

    Huh??? Not a typo at all, we've been calling them pornstars for years. Actual name is Prostar, it's easy to make the transition.
     
    HousTank and Rattlebunny Thank this.
