    Hello,

    I'm wanting to go to Swift. I'm in driving school.. Spoke with lady today, and she said I was clear for orientation, but didnt tell me when. She said she would call me.. Is that right?


    I gotta another ?... If I already have a DOT physical that was done less than a month ago will I have to have another one?

    Also, I had surgery on my arms about 9 years ago, and there is no issues with my arms at all now.. I just dont want to get sent home.. Will I need, or should I get a note from my doctor saying I am fit for duty?

    Is it common for the recruiter to call you back, and tell you when orientation is?

    Thanks.

    I have no dealings with swift

    if you passed the DOT physical and got the medical card you should be good for two years

    if you can pass the company physical and the DOT physical you should be fine, but just in case keep that little tid-bit to your self

    Buncha clowns :3some: As for waiting for your recruiter to call, I wouldn't. Give it a day or so then call him/her. You want to call every few days so they don't forget about you, but not so often you annoy them.
