Hey guys!

So today is my 3rd day of being out with my mentor! I got to drive through the rocky mountains through the vail pass. It was pretty intense! It was night time, raining, and a lot of steep hills! I was wonder if this route in general is considered a difficult route? Although beautiful scenery I'm not gonna lie my palms were sweating haha

Yeah, im just nervous about being sent home again because last time I got sent home for high blood pressure, i got a temp certification and a letter to give to my doctor to check me out. Im cleared on the high BP now, just a little paranoid maybe haha. Trying to make sure everything runs smoothly this time around and if i missed anything. :D thanks for all the responses guys.

I was wondering: What are some of the major reasons why people get sent home from trucking school? Do the Swift Recruiters do a thorough background check before they send you to their school first?

Does Swift have a resting heart rate policy? Like a too high or too low? I know the BP for getting hired on with swift needs to be controlled/treated to be at 140/90. What about RESTING HEART rate?

Thanks, Brett. You're always a great help!!

My BP was 142/72, I got sent home from trucking school. I was given a letter to give to my doc but I am unsure how long it will take for him to treat me, or say that Im okay, and sign off the letter. Does anyone think I can get my 3 readings of blood pressure within a week and then get my doctor to sign off the letter to say i dont have high blood pressure? Never had it be that high until the test, normally its 110-120 tops. What is the process exactly?

So basically i had my DOT physical today. I got a blood pressure reading of 142/72 and got sent home, but with a letter for my doctor? What am i supposed to do now to get back in school?

Wind. I had to take everything again so I could add hazmat. I took all tests, class A, C, & M1 including endorsements, for $39.00 in April 2017. Price might have changed since then. Good luck.

thank you. Ill respond back here on Thursday to let you all know what happened at the DMV. GOodnight

So I have to take my CDL permit test this Thursday here in California. So I hear i have to take the CLASS C, then since I have an M1 I also have to take the M1 exam, then the CDL-A.

MY question: Will they charge me extra for the Class C and M1 exams? Or will it all be just one fee?

I have no head hair, or body hair, ZERO. All I have is a beard about 2-3 inches. Does anyone know if a Swift examiner will accept facial hair for the hair follicle drug test? Hmm.
