Blind in one eye. Need cdl a to become lineman Florida

And all the while I wonder... Why?
Blind in one eye, so disabled to a great degree - especially when it comes to driving a big truck.

Maybe I am just overly cautious, and care more for others well being than my own wants to drive a truck.

I dare any of you to put a patch over one eye for a day or two and drive safely.
Or just shut one eye for a few minutes while you are in heavy traffic, with cars coming in from all sides.

I was going to say if you never had it ya ain't gonna miss it! But you pretty much covered that!! Good luck. I hope it works out for you.

 

A friend of mine got hit with a binder handle, blinded him in one eye. He still drives and is able to get a valid health card. Never asked him much about it but I think he got some sort of waiver.

 

Good for you.
But, you are impaired in vision none the less.

You may not realize the difference between 2D and 3D sight, or even care about it, because you were born with it.
But there is a real difference.
