    Appy and see what happens. Don't talk too much. Let the company make a decision if you're hired or not.

    So today I applied to two other trucking companies. Whenever one applies, I highly recommend that you check your spam folder for information regarding your applications.

    So I went to urgent care. I got in touch with the person that does my CDL DOT physicals and this is what she had to say regarding medication‘s.

    Some will pop up on a drug screen but it’s best to have your doctor state. What medications you’re on and what he or she is treating you for. Ultimately it is up to the examiner on whether you pass. Best to CYA in my opinion.

    another thing I found out. The MVR report does not state whether there were injuries in an accident unless the accident report does.

    I think one of our trusty mods has to do it for you.

    Congrats on the new ride, and I hope the new job goes well for you.

    thank you so much for the help. My new screen name is in honor of my father, who took exactly calculated risk(s) and my avatar is of Pikachu, my cat.

    Hey fellow members,

    I would like to show you my before and current pics. If they offend anybody, please delete them mods. Every day I would ask the Lord to show me the way to happiness. I wanted a job that would for fill my solitude that I like and happiness and I knew for sure at 386 pounds I wasn’t going to get it. Those photos show the new me and the old me.
