Did you get a company physical....

Seems that most larger carriers who hire new[er] drivers require their own medical review be done (and new card) at their expense and at their clinic. Just do as much as you can to try and get your numbers in line in the mean time, whatever that entails. Having to shut down to get another physical only 3 months later, is problematic, and if something comes up and you can't get a medical clearance for ANY length of time, you're stuck and out of work and may or may not be anywhere near home. Most carriers don't mind reimbursing for medicals but limit the reimbursement to once every 23 months, so this could be an expensive process for some with medical issues.

 

Do not take a per test for a carrier unless you are 100% sure you want to work there or have committed to it. Or else the cost will go on your credit report.

 

I took a company physical right after paying for my own. In my opinion the company doctor was more easy.

 

Depends on carrier. Most mega's will have their own doctor.

 

I would avoid a physical for a few weeks if I were you. I imagine your blood pressure is still high from what “Media Card” Melissa did to you. If a Swift driver’s girl is messing around, what hope do any of us have?

 

BEWARE:: Make sure you tell the 2nd examiner of the 1st physical. This way you avoid DOCTOR SHOPPING.. The FMCSA looks for physicals placed in the system close like this. It's called doctor shopping and can get your good physical tossed. I HIGHLY advise you to stay the course with this examiner.
