ratz24 Thanks this. -

It is received if you pass the physical.

Most of these occupational medical clinics do a DOT. Just open the phone book and look and when you call ASK them about the DOT physical and then ask if they sign a DOT medical Card. Even some doctors do a DOT but again a phone call is better than asking in here as we would have to do it the same way by Goggling it, doing yellow pages or picking up the book. Most of these companies that require certain paperwork from the doctors know which one have what they require and send you there. If they have you do it before the bus ride then yep it's your dime to call and find out.
I'm beginning to wonder from looking at a lot of theses posts over the past 2 years if these newbies are going to be good truck driver material as they can't do simple things like look up data in the data age! How are they going to find a simple route in a map?
But here's a bone for ya! Down load and print it up and take it to your PCP.
