Swift Paperwork
Topic 21192 | Page 1
In my situation at Phoenix we had to come with a physical and permit before we could start. The other stuff you will need is your SS Card, current drivers license, and birth certificate. Only other paperwork you have to do at the academy is signing the contract for debt payoff.
You also need proof of residence now. Utility bill, car registration, etc. Go on DMVs website and you should be able to find the list of acceptable documents.

Wow I didn’t know that. Well I still live with my parents ( 23yr old) but all I have is a car payment. Can I just bring that ? Or do I have to bring the other stuff with it as well ?
I would check with your DMV. I don't have the list on the truck anymore.

I did my orientation at the beginning of October (7 weeks ago) , at the Syracuse Terminal. The only things they actually asked for were my, SSC, CDL, and Medical. They glanced at my birth cert. Maybe they didn't get the memo.

I’m starting in Charlotte NC
As far as I remember residency is just for getting your license and permit, but it is a good note to have your residency stuff in order for the permit. It was harder for me due to New Mexico giving licenses to illegal aliens. So my dad had to put my name on the utilities.
