Hey there! I'm about to start classes at my local road master. All I have left to do is finish my DOT physical before classes start. I hit a road block with my dot physical. The person that conducted the physical is refusing to submit it because I mentioned that I had been treated for anxiety and depression. I also said I have been doing fine without meds the last few years, and now she wants me to be seen by a doctor to get a release. Problem is I have no doctor.. I haven't seen one in 2 years due to no insurance. So I went back to my old doctor to try to get seen on a sliding scale to have an evaluation done and they refused to because they don't do dot physicals or anything relating to it. Have any advice? Do I HAVE to use the clinic road master sent me to?

Maybe you don't have to use their clinic but you'll have the same problem somewhere else. You're going to have to clear the anxiety/depression diagnosis. If you're over it now maybe have someone else give you a screening?
Pamela1990 and TxFLdino57 Thank this. -
That's a common problem; people volunteering information that is irrelevant.
They talk about medications they took in the past.
Roadmaster is too expensive anyway; plenty of much cheaper schools to attend.Pamela1990 and BennysPennys Thank this. -

For example, Heniff Transportation wants a 200 hr. school, so if that interests you, ask J-Tech if a 200 hr. course is available.

For this one, call the company and ask which school they hire from. Ask if J-Tech is on their approved school list.
