I have my physical and drug screen tomorrow I last had one about 3 weeks ago and I have been actively loosing weight. I’m right on the edge of the BMI requirement now I was originally 323 but now I’m 310 if I have proof from last time that I have been loosing weight and all that can I get a exemption?

What bmi requirement? Is that something that a company you are going to has set? The FMCSA does not have any BMI requirements as part of the DOT physical, as far as I know.

Incorrect Wyatt there is no bmi/sleep study requirements and never was. At one point there was guidance but even that has been taken off the books
401-Alex, Bean Jr. and slow.rider Thank this. -
slow.rider Thanks this.

No written fmcsa requirement BUT the approved examiners have a requirement by the fmcsa to check bmi and issue sleep studies to get cdl holders on cpaps.
They got me on my naturally large german neck.
I gave up my license over this after getting caught in the scam. Once they issue sleep study your license is held hostage until you buy cpap. Even if your general practitioner doctor says you dont need one. Good luck! -

I know guys that just go every 3 months and get new cert. I wasn’t gonna waste the money and time for something that was “recomended” to me that I did not need. I had sleep study done a year before concentra “recomended” I needed another one. A had no problems but that report was not excepted because it was not done by a “recomended” sleep study lab involved in the racket. -
You can do the excepted self certification in Texas to not need a med card but only if you were operating a cmv before august 28, 1989.slow.rider Thanks this.
