Since I have seen this come up in a couple of different conversations, it probably deserves its own topic, so here it is!
Post the companies you know of that accept your DOT medical card and long form here. The only company I know of is Honey Transport in AL and the Russians in Chicago, but I wouldn't recommend either of them at all. It seems that almost all local jobs will accept yours, but conversely, all OTR companies will not.
Reasons for using your own DR:
Heart Disease - surgeries (pacemaker is disqualifying)
Handicapped
??
If you're like me, with a past history of open-heart that needs plenty of explanation and documentation, you might want to find the companies that will take your DOT card. I personally don't care because I have an inch thick stack of paperwork and test results that satisfies most doctors, but I know there are a lot of people out there that don't, and they do pass a regular physical, but have problems with the Nazi clinics the big companies use.
So what companies have accepted your DOT medical card?
What companies will accept YOUR DOT physical card and long form?

TransAm must have changed. When I talked to recruiter Cindy or Candy or Crusty (or whatever her name was) five months ago or so, she said they did a DOT physical as part of orientation.
Maybe they can't even afford to contract that out now, too.OriginalBigfoot Thanks this. -
when i started you had to have your DOT card
when i renewed mine they had a list of dr's in Olathe
but Dr said Transam had no requirements of their ownOriginalBigfoot Thanks this.
