I took my dot physical for a second time and they gave me a 2 year card. HELP!

No You go on with your life with a 2 year card. But you be careful about your health.

 

A two year card is standard for the DOT physical.

 

Don't forget to self certify that 2 year card

 

BP is a really hard thing to defeat if it is present in your body.

Take your 2 year card put it into your wallet with the CDL and go forth happy.

But be warned. If you do present with consistent high BP under manual reading (Not computer BP machines...) over and over again, you will be taught what diet and things you must eliminate to get it under control. I fought 140 over 100 for years manual until my trainer told me to not smoke for a week prior to medical test of BP. Plus eliminating salt. (Those MRE's with self heaters were the problem, thousands of MG of salt... daily.)

Even today eating like a bird my own BP is close to 130/95 at times and that is without coffee or exploding over some trivial bull.

Don't worry. The wheels of Government grind slow but sure. If there is something that comes up, it will. But if it never does, Don't go around living like a guilty prey. Stand tall with your 2 year med card.

 

This is definitely a don't axe don't tell situation.

 

I don't see why not. The exact same thing happened to me. I got a 3 month card initially when I got my permit. A few months later I got my CDL and a 2 year card. DPS took the 2 year card. DPS didn't ask any questions and neither did I.

I would recommend just updating the card and don't ask any questions or volunteer any information. If they don't say anything, neither should you.

 

Screw the chiropractor dude. They don't even take BP as a daily duty. Only when this dot doctor stuff started, did chiropractors start venturing into a field they need not be in.
