Companies and Physicals

Hello,

What companies pay for DOT physicals?

 

Most.
Probably all if you are a company driver.

 

Yellow made me pay for them

 

Are you paid while in school?
How long before you get the CDL or do you have it now.

 

This is what some would call a "red flag".....

Once you complete the requirements below, you’ll be qualified to enroll in our CDL Driving Academy.

• Obtain a Class A CDL Permit (student paid)
• Pass DOT Physical (student paid)
• Obtain TSA background/fingerprint check for hazardous material endorsement (student paid)
• Pass a DOT drug test (company paid)

I got my CDL now

Hang in there, baby! (as they say)

You have your CDL--so, while you're waiting for your BP meds to do their thing, make good use of your time.

Now is a good time to work on getting ALL those endorsements (tanker, hazmat, & doubles/triples)....if you are not already doing so (& if you don't already have them).

Those endorsements are money-makers, and door-openers.

$$$$$$$$$$.....

Fedex Freight pays for ours, but we go to Concentra. We have 2 locations in town one is 5 minutes away from work the other is 15-20 minutes away. We are specifically told not to go to the one close to work. The doctor there is a huge pain to deal with. Even going to the one across town my bp is significantly higher than when i see my regular doctor.

Personally I'd rather just see my regular doctor. Im a lot more relaxed their. With my insurance the cost would be pretty low.

 

I have tankers, doubles/triples, and hazmat. My last BP is 128/84!!! I decided to go keto. It’s done a lot for me so far. I’m gonna make sure it is consistent for a week before I go do the DOT physical. Money is tight that is why I am asking if companies normally pay for physicals. Yellow laid me off already go figure but at least they paid for my CDL training.
