Works for me. I always wanted to try my hand at Disability anyway.
tnt440 Thanks this. -
i do wanna work for them but then again im not going to let them screw things up for me in the future with my cdl's i think if 1 driver has to take it every driver in the company should have to i think it is nothing but plain discrimination and i also think they should have to pay for it if it is a company policy instead of wanting us to turn it in on our insurance and to pay a 1000$ deductible

And would you believe I had a nurse give me a DOT physical? I always thought it had to be MD but since the carrier OKed it.. RN will do.
