    They just need your height and weight to get the BMI. Most doctors can probably look at you and tell you your BMI, just like those carnival guys that guess weight.

    This is true! It must be the whole U.S. A friend of mine told me today Arizona mailed him a cancellation of his CDL. He is in Minnesota. He had to fax a copy of his medical card to get it reinstated. I redid my CDL in TN. They got a copy of mine.

    BMI checks? Sleep apnea? All those fatazzed sweat pants truckers are doomed!

    One bad thing about truckers stories is right here. There is no requirment in the regulations that mandate a BMI test. The regulations have been posted and some of you say they are lieing. I just had my physical done the middle of October and there is no BMI bs done. I just renewed my license today and the didn't need anything regarding my physical. I along with the doctor sent in my physical to the state of Indiana. Read your little green bible every now and then and get up to date on the regulations of the industry you are making your profession before calling fellow drivers liars. :smt021

    gwkelly3 is right and you guys better pull your heads out of the clouds. CSA 2010 is going to surprise you, so don't be shocked when all this comes your way. You know, you detectives if you are not over weight your doctors not going to be bothered about your BMI or if your neck exceeds so many inches, and in oklahoma when you renew your cdl you have to have a long form medical form on file with the state of Oklahoma. A buddy of mine just renewed his CDL, because he did not want to let them go even thought he is not driving right now. So he payed out of his pocket and got the phsyical and returned to the DMV and got his renewal and was told he had to mail his long form to some state office or they will put a hold or other words (not eligable to drive a comm-vehicle) on his CDL. Even thought he has the card in his pocket, if some law enforcement had run his CDL it would show a hold. I asked him why the DMV didn't take a copy of his long form and he said he didn't know and was just doing what he was told to do to comply.

    The BMI is nonsense, i was obese on that scale from my ht and wt. Obese with a 33 inch waist and i can still see my feet and my crotch when i look down. Yup i was obese alright......
    i think it's a ploy by tall skinny nervous people wanting to take over the world, yup they are in cahoots with the space aliens and mormans....

    Whats coming around in two years doesn't mean right now in December. The trucker stories you are listening to have no bearing on what is regulation as of December 2012.
