    hi all just wanting a little info here, unemployed 47 yo here from sc.no options on my paying my own way in school so decided to go with swift good or bad. was going to go with prime but they check my bmi and its not what they want.so no go there. I have sleep apnea (medically checked) and have machine. has anyone here gone to the school in tn recently? if so any info on it would help out greatly. Also heard that you can get you dot physical before you go from your state which is fine with me since a urgent care place up the rd from us does dot physicals. thanks in advance for all help on this

    If you go to Swift's school, you will need to get your permit in your home state. Some states require the DOT physical for the permit, most don't. Regardless, every company will make you take a physical with their medical staff. So don't waste your money on it unless you need it for the permit.
    Good Luck!
